Returning for Cambodia’s Development – Lam Long

Time flies quickly, and I’m graduating soon with a master’s degree. It’s surreal to hold this dream, but it’s an unforgettable journey, enhancing skills and knowledge, and fostering great memories.

One unforgettable experience was a field trip to a remote island in Queensland where I went snorkeling for the first time. Exploring the marine ecosystem up close was both breathtaking and eye-opening—it reminded me how valuable experiential learning can be.

Weekend farmers markets are my favorite weekend ritual, offering local products, live music, and peaceful park relaxation, helping me recharge after a busy week.

What I’m most looking forward to when I return to Cambodia is reuniting with my family. I used to spend a lot of time with my siblings, and I can’t wait to do more of that again.

I’m deeply thankful to the Australia Awards for this incredible opportunity. My two-year journey in Australia has been transformative—personally, professionally, and academically. I’m ready and excited to contribute to Cambodia’s development with all that I’ve learned.
