About Cambodia (Place and Cost of Living)

Traveling and working in a new country is different, but we will meet you at the airport and make sure that your accommodation needs are met right from day one. With breakfast and lunch covered when school is open, the food expenses for teachers are relatively low. An average meal costs $2.50. Furthermore, with a generous number paid of public holidays (up to 23), combined with 18 days of paid vacation, teachers can look forward to exploring this beautiful country and its peoples in their free time

Cambodia is a tropical country blessed with year-round warm weather, fine beaches (Phnom Penh is not far from the sea) and friendly folk and relatively low cost of living. International visitors to Cambodia all come back home with great memories and a life-changing experience
