RE: Our trip to thousand-year-old ruins of Angkor

in #travel7 years ago

I don't know - I have similar questions about other ancient sites too. How many slaves does it take to carve a masterpiece? If it wasn't the slaves - who were the master carvers and what happened to them after? Where did they live? How were they housed and fed?

If I do go there, I will be looking for any sign of carving skill in the current day - the descendants of the master builders who did this. I'm not sure if this one has a lot of small bricks or a lot of huge megaliths. I was up in Udon Thani and saw bricks being made currently. No unskilled person could do it in my opinion.

To me - this whole topic is a mystery!

Please let me know if you find out more about it! 😊

lol - I 'm asking people who go to these sites like you, but so far no answers from anyone - I will keep asking for sure. I looked back on this and you guys have really great photos and text. I think you could get sponsorships for sure with your interesting lives and travels.

thank you so much! Any ideas about how we can get sponsorships? :D

Well - here are some

  • search "how I travel the world with sponsorship"
  • search the same in pinterest and fb
  • join digital nomads in fb groups - there are a bunch of them
  • join other travel type fb groups

You can get a free "travel pitch kit" here:

And this girl does it

So you make a pdf with you and your guy and show some great photos and describe what you can pitch - hotel, clothes, travel accessories etc.

Then you send that out to brands who might want to:

  • have you in their hotel
  • have you at their attraction/restaurant
  • have you show their great product in use

I have thought about it for all my visa trips, but it's really not for me - you two look like the type and I mean that in a good way. I'm like the dirty exhausted hippie and you guys are like the breezy fashion plates. The photos you are getting on a tripod (?) are superior. I'm talking about the shots from a bit far off with the two of you in them.

It's just a matter of going through the steps, sending out pitches and being professional and flexible. I think you have it all :)

Def try to connect with others who do it already or at least review blogs and posts to see how other people are succeeding.

Wow, thank you so much! :D That's awesome advice! Somehow I never heard about how exactly people find sponsorships and these tips are so very useful! :D

I'm so glad to tell you of it then. You can do it for sure.

Post about your progress here and you have it made - others will be very interested in the steps you take. Be sure to keep up with the awesome pics on each post :)
