Where to Stay in Cambodia

The Rosewood Phnom Penh Why we recommend it: Although Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world, the opening of the Rosewood Phnom Penh makes a bold statement that Cambodia is serious about becoming the new Hong Kong. A skyscraper and the tallest building in the city (at least for now), the Rosewood is a symbol of both the government’s commitment to creating industry as well as the foresight of the Rosewood group that Cambodia has potential to…

Another Reason to Visit Israel: The Jaffa Opens

It’s no secret that travelling to Tel Aviv, Israel, is one of the best decisions you could make this year. The culture, the people, the history—there’s no need to twist anyone’s arm.
