Welcome!
My name is Vanny and I grew up in Putang village, around 7 kilometers from Senmonorrom town in the Mondulkiri province of Cambodia.
I previously worked for an NGO here in Senmonorrom, but am now working on my own. I work in tourism but also as a translator and interpreter as I speak Bunong, Khmer, and English and have been to university. There have been many changes in Mondulkiri over the last few years, and I am trying to work with thechanging environment to help best share and preserve my culture to help my family and community as best I can. I, for example, do not organize treks with elephant-riding because this detrimental to the elephant and encourages unhealthy tourism. I have many stories and experiences to share and have an unmatched understanding of the region.
