Dear friends and loved ones, April was a much slower month for us, which was a relief after our very busy (but amazing) March. April is when all of Cambodia celebrates the Khmer New Year. Technically it’s only a three day national holiday, but those three days always fall on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday so [...]
Hello and happy Easter week! I like Easter, it reminding me of my humble place and purpose in this world, and the incredible gift of life that I have been given. ❤️ March was a busy month for us. In addition to our regular work with Warm Blankets Switzerland and The Water Project, we also [...]
Hello and happy March! Are you starting to see little signs of Spring? Some little buds on plants, and longer days? Here in Cambodia March 1st means that the cool season is nearly over, and to begin preparing for the hot. At the moment it’s still quite pleasant in the morning and evening hours, [...]
Hello from Cambodia, Can you believe that it’s February already? While the wetern hemisphere has been dealing with nasty cold weather, we've been enjoying pleasant temperatures from 22-30c (71-87f) with a nice breeze from the north. We’re enjoying it while we can, because the hot season is coming soon. Lukas went out with Pastor Nourn to replace an [...]
Happy New Year! I’m writing this update from Vietnam. We’re making our second annual Christmas kitesurfing holiday. Last year we enjoyed it so much we decided to do it again this year. It takes about 12 hours by car to reach Phan Rang, Vietnam, but once we’re here we pretty much just live on the [...]
Happy Hollidays! Did all of our American readers have a nice Thanksgiving? We celebrated with a few other American families like ours that are a multi cultural mix :-D.

Hello and Happy Fall! I feel like everyone in the western hemisphere is truly in the fall season now, with cold stormy weather and cups of hot pumpkin spice goodness. :-) Our season is changing, too. The rainy season is almost finished, the wind has started blowing from the north which is always a sign [...]
Hello dear ones, How was your September? I know it’s a busy season for many of you with children. Since Benjamin won’t start at the international school until January, we didn’t have any big transitions, life just went on as normal, but here are a few highlights from our month! :-) Lukas went out on [...]
Hi friends and family, One of the greater challenges of living and working in S.E. Asia is that things don’t always go as planned. This month we had several situations that didn’t work out as we’d hoped. We made a plan, we did our best, and some things just didn't happen the way that we [...]
Hello friends and family, We’ve been back in Cambodia for a few weeks now, and we’re finally getting back into the swing of things. I experienced some reverse culture shock when I returned this time, which wasn’t so fun. For the first week or so I felt overwhelmed and emotional every time I left the [...]
