We did it! Our team of 16 PEPY Riders from 5 countries completed PEPY's second trek across Cambodia.

In addition to raising funds for educational projects, the team's goal was to visit schools and organizations across the country to teach environmental lessons and to learn about the current state of Cambodia. In addition, we were able to visit Cambodia's most famous sites and the hidden rural beauty of this rice-field-filled country.

We visited the temples of Angkor, learned Khmer cooking in Battambang, explored floating villages on the Tonle Sap, witnessed the horrors of the Khmer Rouge in the museums of Phnom Penh, joined a rural engagement party, floated in the blue water off Kep, slept next to the phosphorescence in Kampot's river, scared ourselves silly in Bokor Mountain's ghost town, and finally crossed over the hills to the ocean in Sihanoukville. The team was amazing, the journey problem-free, and the learning experiences countless.

We are already planning The PEPY Ride III for next year...... join us!
