Based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Phnom Penh-based writer and blogger Lina Goldberg focuses on travel and expat life in Cambodia. Her deep familiarity with the country stems from an initial three-month fellowship that evolved into long-term residence, allowing for a nuanced understanding of its daily life, local rhythms, and the intricacies of expat living. She authored "Move to Cambodia: A guide to living and working in the Kingdom of Wonder," a comprehensive resource. The guide provides practical information for individuals considering relocation or extended stays, addressing essential topics such as visas, cost of living, housing, transportation, and cultural nuances. Goldberg's work also deeply explores Cambodian foodways and culture, offering insights into the country's culinary traditions. Her reporting often delves into the stories behind local dishes and community practices. Her writing appears in publications such as Lonely Planet, CNN Travel, the Wall Street Journal, VICE, and BBC Travel. She also co-founded Siem Reap Food Tours and Phnom Penh Food Tours, ventures featured in outlets like the New York Times and Vogue. Across these platforms – her blog, her book, and her food tour initiatives – Goldberg offers a detailed, practical lens for understanding and navigating life in Cambodia.
