Best Places to Travel in Southeast Asia?

Hi there! My name is Nick O’Brien,from the United States, and I would just like to briefly introduce myself to all you italki students. I am from the state of Florida in the southern U.S.A, and after completing a degree in Foreign Relations and Mandarin I taught at a university for six years. 

Four years ago I quit my job, sold my things, and began traveling the world as a writer and teacher. I am currently living in the Kingdom of Cambodia, and have been teaching for one year at a wonderful school here.

In my spare time, I also own and operate a travel writing website (nickythump.com/blog)where I do freelance work for blogs and online travel services.

Because of my educational background and love of travel, I try to connect with foreign students by getting them to teach me about their culture and daily life, especially the food. I always learn something new, and they get lots of practice answering all my silly questions. 

So, for a discussion I thought it might be interesting to hear your favorite sights, destinations, foods, and adventures to have in Southeast Asia? There are so many off-the-beaten-path places in each country, and I am always fascinated at peoples opinions of what is a must-see attraction.

For example, no one comes to Cambodia without going to see the massive stone temples of Angkor Wat. Is it worth it?

Again, my name is Nick from the USA, thank you for reading this, and I look forward to your responses!
