Andrea Ross, Journeys Within Tour Company
Recommended for Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand
Ross lives in Cambodia six months of the yearÂ—when not in California she runs the Journeys Within B&B in Siem Reap with her husbandÂ—and can pepper Southeast Asian itineraries with philanthropic elements, enabling travelers to engage with the local community. Her favorite secret destination? Battambang, Cambodia's little-visited second-largest city, which fell under Thai rule for more than a century but today has few crowds visiting its beautiful temples. Her affordable rates make her a great option for travelers on a budget.
