One of the things I love about staying at Ganesha Resort, deep in the heart of rural Cambodia is the opportunity to sink into the landscape, to have the time to journey into the heart of a place.
This for me is what travel is about, a philosophy shared by Dirk, the owner of Ganesha, a guy who has traveled for a large part of his adult life and rarely lived in his home country of Germany since he hit the road. He has spent time in countries like India and Nepal as well as Ireland but his heart is now attached to the verdant green fields of Cambodia where he has made his home. He wanted to make a place where travelers rather than tourists would come to spend time discovering the absolute joy of travel which is measuring journeys in smiles rather than miles.He couldn’t have picked a more magical spot than the place where Ganesha Resort came into being. I am currently addicted to taking strolls around the villages and roads and fields of this village simply because of the charge of joy that comes to me by way of rainbow smiles and the open friendly greetings of the neighbours. Going for a walk to nowhere in particular, before long my feet are floating an inch above the ground and my heart is full of the joy of love of brotherhood.
