Why we chose Pearl'd Moments

The word pearl came to mind for us because it metaphorically represents our motivation for this trip. The clams harsh outward appearance looks rough and lifeless, however inside lies one of natures most precious jewels. Each person in this world has their own appearance and story, yet inside we all posses the precious gift of life. It's something every human shares together across our entire world. Each of us are our own clam with different stories, but inside of us we all have reasons in our life that light us up and make us happy.

We are searching to find these pure
moments of happiness. Pure moments of love. Pure moments of life. Pure like pearl.

Moments simply reminds us that this is all we got. All we have is this moment, and then its gone. We have one life to live, so be courageous, be uncomfortable and do what truly matters to you.

Last Day in Cambodia

We were both sad but also excited that it was our last day in Cambodia. Sad because we really loved our time in Cambodia. We met amazing people through our volunteer program, we fell in love with the Khmer people and their culture and over the past 4 weeks, we made it our home. We were actually really sad packing up and leaving the volunteer house because it really felt like home. We were excited however because we were off to see more of Asia!
We enjoyed one last $2 hair wash and straighten, then did some final shopping at the markets. Later on that night we went out for a beautiful dinner with a group of volunteers who we became close with over the month. A few of us had been talking about eating tarantulas while in Cambodia, and since it was our last night I had too!
It was a really great last day in Cambodia, spending it with such great people. We are so lucky to have met such amazing people through IVHQ, while also having the privilege of teaching and learning so much from the kids in Cambodia! Thinking about the kids lots and already miss them tones, but we gotta look forward! Can't wait to see what Vietnam has in store for us!
