Who said that traveling on raw is impossible? I had such a great time that I simply can’t imagine being “un-raw” even for a moment in Cambodia!

After tiring climbs and walks in temples and museums, I’m usually the last to feel sleepy at night. Just give me some real raw food, and in no time my energy is back like Popeye’s!

While most fell into a deep comatose after rich restaurant food, I’m still hopping around cracking jokes and thinking about how to integrate raw foods into existing cultures.

This is a picture of a fruits stall in Cambodia. There are many of these little stalls along roadsides, country roads and markets. I only had to visit the supermarket once in the entire trip.

When I have access to a hotel for days, I’d stash up the fridge with packets of fresh local vegetables and fruits.

If I’m on the road, I simply pack the pre-washed fruits, vegetables plus some nuts which I brought from home, and I have my meals ready! I could even share the food with my friends.

Wondering what is in the above picture? It is a lotus flower, and edible fresh lotus seeds inside! Toss them with some soaked raisins and you have an instant delicious dessert

Don’t let anyone discourage you from eating healthy and fresh foods wherever you are. With a little creativity and preparation, traveling on raw can be easy, fun and rewarding!
