Found a cheap ticket always makes me become an impulsive buyer, especially if you still got some money in your bank account. I will booked it immediately. So does happen to me when I was traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and saw a promo ticket 85 RM (approx. 20 USD) from Kuala Lumpur to Siem Reap. Well, you all know what happen next. Hahahaha. 2 days later I was on the flight heading into one of the province in Cambodia. Then, what am I going to do in Siem Reap? Honestly I don't know. Hahaha. For this destination, I don't want to just traveling and have a sightseeing. I wanna do something else. So, I browse on Couchsurfing community in Siem Reap and found a community name JB Foundation who create a free school for children on the rural area not far away from Siem Reap. This school teachs English for children for free and they need some volunteer to teach the kids.

What would I thinking when assign myself to teach kids on rural area of Cambodia?? Honestly, I didn't think at all. At All!!  I just did. Because i know maybe it's a once in a lifetime experience and i have to take that opportunity. Beside that, i ever living in rural area as well so I know how difficult to get a proper education and/or experience something extraordinary from people outside your area. Why would I do things that i never do before?? Why not! In my life and everyone life, there's always a chance to experience something for the first time. First time traveling, first time traveling alone, first time traveling alone to another country, first time teaching, first time teaching on another country and another first time experience. So this is my first time traveling to cambodia, alone and teaching in rural area on another country. Do I scared?? Trust me, I'm scared myself to death. Hahaha. But I think you will remember and then smile about your scar...
