I spent 10 months solo on my first trip to SEA. 6 months Thailand, 2.5 months Cambodia, a month in Laos, 3 weeks Taiwan. Magic start to finish. Just returned 2 weeks ago from another trip to Taiwan, Cambodia and Thailand. I've spent over 5 months in Cambodia in past 2 years. Mostly in Phnom Penh. Traveling solo is the way to go. Alot of power in leaping into the void alone.

[@Dutchy695]

Great way to get familiar with SEA

[@EndlessSpaghetti]

Why not Vietnam? That's what I want to see most.

[@donjoe2661]

I can't wait for Part 2. Had my doubts if I could sit out this one having trouble with his accent but Richard is a great story teller and very self aware and honest to himself which makes it fun to listen apart from being interested in the story. 👌

[@todayinsingapore]

Great story. Looking forward to the second part as well.

[@alanoconnor7967]

I think this guy likes Cambodia

[@Dutchy695]

He dodged a bullet with the backpacker travel companion

[@rebjorn79]

Be careful, know yourself, have a plan, know your limits, exit when obviously necessary. I've had similar experiences. Trust me, you do NOT want to lose your health or your life abroad.

[@jmginthent651]

Lived there 12 years. Raised kids . Bought property. Had a ball.

[@taxitoloei2055]

I like this guy, very honest and can identify with him. Reminded me of my first trip to Asia in 98. Make the most of every moment, get chatting to the locals, have adventure! Part 2 , I’m looking forward to it

[@thedoode22]

Great interview, an interesting and very nice chap

[@kendowding6831]

I've travelled around Thailand for afew years now, in the beginning of my travels I always went with friends, but I soon realised that the best way to travel, is to travel alone, made so many plans with others in the past, but things and thoughts can change on quite literally afew minutes, at least travelling alone you can think about yourself , without having to think about anyone else, now afew years down the line I wouldn't travel again with anyone. Great story , enjoyed this video

[@andrewhyland9212]

Good interview (you seem to have the best interviewer technique Pete where you have guests who just talk without your lead). Looking forward to part 2.

[@stormstereo]

Really liked this one. Richard is a great storyteller and a nice chap.

25:53 ... "Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood" Oscar Wilde Looking forward for part to with him very very much !!!!!

[@PeterC245]

I’ve have a Thai wife, and a house in Thailand, been there many years , But there is something about Cambodia, it keeps drawing me back ,

[@dockerdave]

Fascinating interview. I love Cambodia and can't wait to move there full time but I'm not brave enough to do it without a financial safety net. I lived in SIhanoukville for a while from 2015 to 2018 and left during the Chinese invasion. I'll be back. I can't wait for Part 2

[@PaulWalliswriter]

I always travelled alone, you have to if you want to explore your destiny.

[@Paul_G_Eats]

Hi Pete, hope you had a great Christmas

[@maxmeggeneder8935]

I just wanted to start my Khmer lesson for today and saw that you have a Cambodia related video up. So I clicked immediatly.

[@robertmiur2388]

Really enjoyed the video nice lad

[@Wilko11]

Interesting interview. Travelled alone for 2 years through Britain, Europe, Russia, Middle East and Asia. Visited 30 countries and hooked up with many other like minded travellers along the journey. I'd imagine arranging to meet someone I didn't know at all to travel with would make it very difficult.

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

Pleasure to listen to. Thank you Pete !!!

[@ungovernable1431]

The Lonely Planet says - no thanks I'll find my own things to do ta.

[@YuChiGongG]

Why would he not know that most likely the main reason none of the many schools to which he applied for a teaching position was his lack of even a HS degree, and no college degree, either.

[@christophermaclean8555]

Video starts at 2:17

[@trinitariobtraveling8113]

I read Richard's book it should be a mandatory read before making anyone's virgin voyage to Southeast Asia..so many nuggets in his book

[@cathalrooney9409]

Great channel. Love the story’s. Definitely going to hit S.E. Asia.

[@tobyprice1092]

A lad from my neck of the woods. We do like a beer right enough.

[@69spook]

Did he mention he made friends with the tuc tuc drivers ..... 😂

[@1990-t1j]

Very entertaining. The sort of lad who'd be good to have a few beers with, but I can't understand why he didn't just dump the tedious girl in Vietnam. I wonder if Alison's watching this. Nick

[@DuaneBernier]

When’s part 2?

[@jking6620]

Did this lad ever meet No Joke Howard?

Imagine many of these people work as TEACHERS in Cambodia working with children. Be aware!

[@lorenzomagazzeni5425]

YNot they speak impeccable English

[@generealty]

Many teachers teach Hotel and Factory Managers etc not only children in schools

[@TommyFoolery-ep3xh]

@@lorenzomagazzeni5425 I think he's referring to Gary Glitter bacon bonce type predators.

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

... he is a native speaker so why not? That is better than no lessons at all. Often the teaching starts much too late

[@maximilianswansson1264]

​@@_Alfa.Bravo_ i doubt he can speak understandable English even if he tried 😊

[@freelancekate8919]

Ive seen that show Naked and afraid its well known actually

[@MrSimonj1970]

Halfway in and it's just some random talkative guy's holiday story, going to bail on this one Pete. Not sure how he can be that pale living in Cambodia, that's impressive even for a jock!
