How to get to Cambodia from Vietnam and back. How to get to Cambodia Getting around the country: buses, taxis, tuk-tuks

If you dream of exotic travel, you should temporarily abandon the banal tourist routes and go to mysterious Cambodia with many ancient attractions. It is very convenient to get there by plane: despite the relative poverty of the country, the infrastructure of Cambodia's airports is very well developed.

Cambodia airports on the map

Before booking air tickets to Cambodia, you should find out in advance which airport in the country you will fly to and where it is located. This will help you plan your tourist trip route correctly.

International airports

Today, three airports in the country have international status, although Sihanoukville receives only a few international flights and its infrastructure is closer to domestic.

  • Phnom Penh Airport(IATA code - PNH) is Cambodia's largest commercial airport, located 7 km west of the country's capital, Phnom Penh.
  • Siem Reap Airport(Siem Reap) (IATA code – REP). It is located 8 km from the city of Siem Reap. The peculiarity of the airport is that it serves mainly tourists who want to see the main attraction of Cambodia - the ruins of the ancient city of Angkor, located nearby.
  • Sihanoukville Airport(IATA code – KOS). It is located 18 km from the city of Sihanoukville and also has another name - Kangkeng.

Domestic air hubs

Since Cambodia is one of the poor and not very large countries, there are few domestic airports. These include:

  1. Ratanakiri(IATA code – RBE). It is located in the Ratanakiri province near the town of Banlung. Due to the tragic plane crash from Phnom Penh in 2005, commercial flights to the airport have been cancelled: it is now used only for private and charter flights;
  2. Battambang(IATA code – BBM), located 3 km from the center of Battambang;
  3. Kampong Chang(IATA code – KZC), which serves the city of the same name in Cambodia;
  4. Stung Treng(IATA code – TNX), located 4 km from the city of the same name;
  5. Tbengmeantey(IATA code – OMY), which is located 6 km from the city of the same name;
  6. Kratie(IATA code – KTI) – serves the city of the same name;
  7. Krakor(IATA code – KZD) – located in the city of Krakor;
  8. Koh Kong(IATA code – KKZ) – located 1 km from the city of Koh Kong;
  9. Kampot(IATA code – KMT) – serves the locality of the same name.

Air gates to other countries

There are no direct flights from Moscow airports to Cambodia, but you can purchase tickets for Aeroflot flights to Bangkok or, and then transfer to a Thai Airways International or Vietnam Airlines flight to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.

Phnom Penh

It receives many flights from various countries such as airlines like AirAsia, Vietnam Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Thai Airways International, Thai AirAsia, Azur Air, Asiana Airlines, SilkAir, Qatar Airways, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines, China Airlines, Dragonair and other Asian airlines.

They connect the capital of Cambodia with cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hanoi, Jiangbei, Seoul, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Macau and others.

You can buy a plane ticket right here using this search form. Enter cities of departure and arrival, date And number of passengers.

Getting from the airport to the city is not difficult at all: right in the waiting room there is a zone map Phnom Penh, which can be reached by taxi. Depending on the distance of your arrival point, the taxi driver will charge you from 9 to 15 dollars. The service of ordering a three-wheeled rickshaw is also popular (costing tourists from $7).

Infrastructure The airport is very well developed. Here travelers can expect:

  • VIP terminal;
  • Lounge area;
  • Luggage room.

Throughout the airport there are free wifi. The air travel building is very bright and spacious, with 20 check-in counters, and there are several cafes and duty-free shops where you can grab a bite to eat or buy souvenirs.

Siem Reap

The airport is somewhat smaller than the capital's, but is also quite different lively air connections with Asian countries. Flights of Vietnam Airlines, Air Asia, Korean Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Cambodia Angkor Air, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Jetstar Asia, Condor Flugdienst, SilkAir, Myanmar Airways International and others regularly land here.

Siem Reap is connected by air to Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hanoi, Busan and other Asian cities, as well as Frankfurt.

The airport building is designed in Khmer style: with statues of warriors and elephants and other national symbols.

Tourists can go shopping in duty-free stores; there is a luggage storage room.

Taxi drivers are waiting for their clients right at arrival hall, and the cost of a trip to the city center starts from $6. A taxi ride to Angkor Wat will cost approximately the same. Hiring a tuk-tuk will be a little cheaper: you will spend no more than 2-3 dollars.

Sihanoukville

This the smallest Cambodia International Airport, which carries this status solely because of the couple of Vietnam Airlines flights that land here. It is mainly used for domestic flights with Phnom Penh and Siem Reap: planes of local airlines Cambodia Bayon Airlines, Apsara International Airlines and Cambodia Angkor Air land here.

The infrastructure here is developed weak, however, there are a couple of cafes and duty-free shops. You can easily get to the city by shuttle for $6.

If you are flying to Cambodia for the first time, you will find the following tips helpful:

  1. You can get visa on arrival to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh airports;

    2. To do this, you must present a passport, have a recent photo measuring 2x2 inches and pay a fee. For children under 12 years of age, the visa is free.

  2. You shouldn't leave it at airports unattended: there are plenty of thieves here;
  3. Do not joke during luggage check about bombs and explosives: you may be misunderstood - the terrorist threat in Cambodia is very real;
  4. Don't pack sharp things type of knives or scissors;
  5. Amount over 10 thousand dollars in foreign currency is subject to declaration, the import and export of local currency is prohibited;
  6. It is not allowed to import weapons, ammunition and drugs, as well as to export antiques: for this you can end up in jail.

Watch a video about Siem Reap Airport:

Every year Cambodia becomes an increasingly popular tourist destination. The war period in the country is far behind us, security is at the proper level, the tourism infrastructure is developing, and it is the combination of these factors that attracts more and more tourists to the country.

At the moment there are no direct flights from Moscow or other Russian cities, but if the flow of tourists increases, they will probably appear. Geographically, Cambodia is located between such popular tourist countries as Vietnam and Thailand. It is through one of these countries that tourists most often travel. The cost of a flight with one or two transfers from Moscow can reach $1,500, and not everyone can afford such an amount, so many are looking for more affordable options. If you don’t have problems with money, then you just need to fly to the Thai capital of Bangkok, and then transfer to a flight to Cambodia. From the point of view of the amount of effort and time spent, this is the best way.

Not many tourists choose Cambodia for a good holiday; most often they visit the country for tourist purposes for 2-4 days. Vietnam offers many travel offers to Cambodia. You can organize such a trip either independently or contact one of the many travel companies. Planes to Cambodia fly from many Vietnamese cities, but most often tourists prefer flights from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, in Ho Chi Minh City you can buy a bus ticket and travel to Cambodia by land.

There are options for traveling through Laos, but I would not recommend paying attention to them; it is best to go through Thailand. Excursions from Thailand to Cambodia are considered one of the most popular among tourists (you can easily find a Russian-speaking guide). You can get to Cambodia from many Thai cities by bus. In terms of time, it will be more expensive than flying by plane, but it will be cheaper and during the trip you will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful nature of both countries. From Thailand you can get not only to the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, but also to such a popular tourist city as Siem Reap.

Often tourists go to Cambodia not only to see the sights of the country, but also to relax for some time on the snow-white beaches. In this regard, one of the best options is the Sihanoukville resort. There is no direct bus to this city from Bangkok; first you need to buy a ticket to the island of Koh Chang or the small town of Trat. From Trat you can get to the border by tuk-tuk, taxi or public transport. After crossing the border, you will have to take a taxi, which costs from 50 to 70 dollars, and if you are lucky, you can get there by bus (usually they only go in the morning).

In order to advise you on a specific route and method of travel, you need to know which city in Cambodia you are planning a trip to or from which city you plan to start your trip.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the conditions for visiting and staying in the country and prepare all the necessary documents so that because of some little detail, the trip does not end before it begins. Since you will have to fly through a transit country, you need to think about additional documents.

Cambodia... A mysterious country where ancient legends come to life in temples with a thousand-year history, where the sun rises every day, illuminating the lush nature of the jungle stretching on the ocean shore, and big cities with their noisy markets and Asian flavor shock the sharp contrast with the pristine nature ... I first thought about traveling to Cambodia several years ago at the invitation of my friend. I couldn’t decide for a long time until I saw a dream about this mysterious country. It was so bright and colorful that I decided to go. And I fell in love with Cambodia forever...

Cambodia, with its tragic history and truly kind and helpful people, is unforgettable.

Visa and border crossing

There are two ways to obtain a Cambodian visa:

To country can be imported: foreign currency in an amount not exceeding $10,000, alcoholic beverages, but not more than 2 liters, pets, if there is a certificate, as well as prescription medications.

Cannot be imported or export: drugs, weapons, flammable substances, audio and video recordings that insult the spiritual culture of Cambodia.

How to get there

The only way to get to Cambodia from Russia is by plane.

By plane

There are no direct flights from Russia to Cambodia. If you live in Central Russia, then the cheapest and fastest way to fly is from Moscow. Prices range from $620 to $900 per ticket, depending on the number of transfers.

In this case, the flight takes place from Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo. You can fly from the Far East through an international airport.

One of the cheapest flights is the flight operated by China Southern Airlines. Its cost is only $620, but the flight will take one day and twelve hours with two transfers. While Vietnam Airlines offers a flight for $730 with one transfer and a round trip flight lasting only 12-14 hours. Other airlines offering relatively inexpensive flights from Moscow: Thai Airways, S7 Airlines, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Korean Air. You can search for tickets, for example, .

And if you live in the Far East, you can fly from Vladivostok to S7 Airlines, Asiana Airlines or Korean Air, and the cost of a round-trip ticket will be approximately $600.

Tourist regions

The main tourist destinations of the country are: the capital, the temple complex of Angkor Wat, the beach resort of Sihanoukville, the “capital of crabs” Kep, Kampot province, Tonle Sap Lake, as well as the islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem. I will talk about many of them in more detail below.

By the way, I usually look for hotels on Booking - you can see prices from different sites. If you like immersing yourself in local flavor, here are the options for private apartments for rent.

Top cities

Phnom Penh

If you're not used to the bustling charm of Asian big cities, then get ready to get a thrill on the way from the airport.

Locals riding their motorcycles without helmets at crazy speeds that even the Hell Angels could envy are a common sight in Phnom Penh. Traffic jams in the Cambodian capital are as bad as Moscow during rush hour. There are no rules or traffic signs in this city as such, and no one is afraid of the police.

One day I watched as a local woman with hot pink hair and a dragon tattoo on her shoulder rode to my right, calmly smoking weed. And on the left is a large family, where the father drove a motorcycle, holding a baby, and the mother and two daughters sat behind him.

Nightlife in Phnom Penh is also uniquely exotic. For example, if you go out for a walk in the central streets of the city in the evening, local residents may stop you and insistently ask you at the top of their voices, without being embarrassed by the police officers standing nearby: Marijuana? Cocaine? Heroin?.

Phnom Penh has many interesting clubs and bars worthy of a place in some sex, drugs & rock"n"roll movie about hippies.

One of the oldest and most popular bars in the city is Sharky Bar. Live music, Bike nights and Ladies Night on Thursdays with free drinks for the ladies from 21:00 to 23:00, great cocktails and snacks, and a truly authentic atmosphere. A real aesthetic pleasure can be experienced by visiting one of the sky bars - rooftop restaurants, from where you can watch the view of the city at night while enjoying the best drinks and exquisite local cuisine.

In Phnom Penh you can meet people from all corners of the world, as well as expats who have escaped the pathos of Western civilization. For example, my friend and I met some musicians from Seattle who once toured with Marilyn Manson.

Of course, not everyone will appreciate the “subtle and wonderful bouquet of life” in Asian big cities. But it is precisely in this wild and unbridled atmosphere of decadence, penetrating the soul like a sweet poison, that their charm lies.

Angkor Wat

This is a real temple city, a unique Hindu architectural monument dedicated to the god Vishnu. It was here that scenes from the famous film “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” were filmed.

The temple complex was built for King Suryavarman II and is today one of the world's largest archaeological sites. Its mysterious towers, decorations, figures of mythical and beautiful Hindu demigoddesses apsaras and huge heads of Buddha fascinate with the ancient breath of grandeur.

Angkor Wat is the soul and heart of Cambodia, the national symbol and epicenter of the ancient Khmer civilization.

The complex is so large that it is simply impossible to explore it in one day! It is best to stay at a local hotel for a couple of days. I recommend starting your tour of the complex at 6:00, when there are fewer tourists here and you can truly feel the mystical spirit of this place.

After many hours of excursions around Angkor Wat, be sure to visit the Angkor Night Market, where you can buy inexpensive souvenirs and also try very exotic local dishes.

Siem Reap

The name Siem Reap translates as “victory over Siam”, and Siam was then called Thailand. It is the city of Siem Reap that is the gateway to Angkor Wat.

Don't forget to take a stroll along the famous Pub Street. This is something like the local Arbat, but with an Asian flavor.

Here you can listen to street bands, dine, and enjoy local drinks such as Angkor beer.

If you're a horse lover, check out Happy Ranch Farm, which offers a two-hour horseback ride through the countryside of Siem Reap, where you'll be treated to expansive rice fields and lotus flowers.

You can read more about the cost and routes of trips at the ranch.

It should be noted that Siem Reap is one of the cleanest cities in Cambodia. You won't see any garbage in the city center, and beautiful ornamental trees are planted along the roads.

Islands

Top attractions

In addition to the famous Angkor Wat temple complex, I recommend visiting other interesting sights of the country. Among them:







Weather

Summer in Cambodia is the time of monsoon rains, so going on vacation at this time of year is not recommended. From March to May and from September to November, temperatures hover around +35 °C and there is high tropical humidity.

The period from November to March is the ideal time to visit the country, as the temperature does not exceed +30 °C and the humidity is quite tolerable.

Money

The local currency unit is the Cambodian riel (KHR). For $1 you can get about 4,000 local “tugriks”, and for 100 rubles you can get about 6,400 riel.

However, even residents of the country are not particularly fond of the local currency, and all prices in hotels, restaurants, etc. are indicated in dollars.

Moving around the country

Public transport

The public transport network in Cambodia is not particularly developed, and you will not see any trams, trolleybuses, or even trains there.

There is a railway in the country, but it is in a deteriorating state and is considered very dangerous, because the rails are old and the tracks are deformed.

The most popular means of transportation for tourists in Cambodia are knock-knock- Asian mini-taxi. The name translates as “cheap”, but in reality the price will depend solely on your bargaining ability. Personally, after a few days of living in Phnom Penh, when asked to offer a trip around the city for $5, I responded with a feigned indignation that I could only offer $2, and they had to agree! Tuk-tuk owners recognize tourists from afar and chase them with obsessive cries of “knock-knock!” until they starve you to death.

For trips to neighboring cities there are many buses, some of them are quite decent and even equipped with Wi-Fi. However, if you're taking an overnight flight from, say, Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, you might be in for a nasty surprise: the overnight beds on the bus are designed for two people, and if you're traveling alone, there's no telling who your seatmate will be! For example, I watched with laughter as an elderly, portly European woman caused a scandal to the driver, because her neighbor turned out to be some young Asian of gangster appearance with many tattoos and gold teeth!

You can also get to neighboring cities by bus. For example, a ticket from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City will cost only $20.

Popular transport companies are , , .

If you prefer to travel by car, you can see the cost of renting a car in Cambodia.

Overnight

Concerning campsites And motels on the territory of the country, I rented housing only on the islands and I can give the following recommendations: if funds allow, choose housing away from the pier, because this is where the nightlife is concentrated, and discos are held until the morning. True, you can rent housing at the pier for $5 per day or for $1 per day in a hostel.

Personally, I was able to rent a cozy room for only $1 a day, but due to the noise of discos, I had to move to a more remote part of the island. The best bungalows on Koh Rong are Paradise Bungalows (they also have a fabulous rooftop restaurant with ocean views), Tree House Bungalow and White Beach Bungalows, and on Koh Rong Samloem, Sleeping Trees. Prices range from $20-30 per night on Koh Rong, and more expensive on Koh Rong Samloem, but you can always bargain, especially if you are staying for a long time.

If you want to learn all the intricacies of choosing housing, you can read about it on our website.

Connection

Internet and Wi-Fi are well developed in Cambodia, even on the islands. True, during storms their quality drops sharply. To communicate with Russia, I recommend using Skype - it's free.

Language and communication

Local residents speak Khmer. It was formed under the influence of the Indian language and Sanskrit. Cambodians also speak Chinese and Vietnamese.

Knowledge of English varies by region. In tourist regions, every tuk-tuk driver knows a few phrases in English. The same applies to employees of restaurants, hotels and large stores. Personally, I didn’t know a word of the local language and only used English.

Features of mentality

Features of mentality depend on where you live.

In the city center of Phnom Penh, you'll find locals who look like they've spent their entire lives on Captain Jack Sparrow's favorite island, Tortuga, and brightly colored oriental beauties who seduce foreigners.

In the villages or on the islands, you will see traditional families with many children (they have such magical eyes and smiles!) and highly developed spiritual traditions.

Food and drink

Gourmets and lovers of Asian cuisine should definitely visit Cambodia! Fresh, aromatic, spicy and incredibly cheap local food is one of the sources of national pride.

5 dishes worth trying

Here are a few dishes that you should definitely try (you can ask for vegetarian soups and salads, but I am not a vegetarian and therefore I offer you meat dishes):


There are also various specific dishes, but it takes a certain amount of courage to try them! How do you like, for example, dried toads, fried bugs, the live heart of a snake, or even a snake tincture on moonshine?

Shopping

Safety

Street theft is very common in large cities across the country. When walking the streets in the evening, you need to hold your bag, camera or video camera tightly to yourself, because it can easily be snatched by motorcyclists hunting for easy prey. Therefore, you should not carry documents (a copy of your passport), large sums of money or other valuables with you.

You should also not leave your personal belongings unattended on the beach. Even if you went to the toilet for five minutes and left your iPhone on the sunbed, I guarantee you that you can say goodbye to it forever.

If you're returning late at night, it's better to invest in a tuk-tuk than to walk the dark streets alone.

Popular types of scams

Unfortunately, in Cambodia you often have to deal with:

  • Child begging. Little boys and girls enter fashionable restaurants and persistently beg tourists for money while their parents sit and eat pizza in their tuk-tuk. By the way, some drivers who don’t have enough money to rent accommodation spend the night in their tuk-tuk, pulling a hammock.
  • Money scam in a tuk-tuk. This is one of the popular scams in Cambodia. For example, a tourist negotiates for $2, and the driver nods his head, and at the end of the trip he demands $5 from him. When the unfortunate person tries to prove that the price is too high, the driver may start shouting loudly and indignantly in his native language, attracting the local population as spectators, thereby trying to confuse the tourist and force him to pay $5.
  • Currency exchange on the street. Be careful and never agree to this: in exchange for your dollars, they may give you, for example, Chinese yuan instead of Cambodian riel or something like that!
  • At withdrawing money from the card inATM You also need to be vigilant. Fraudsters can attach devices to them that scan the card number and PIN.

5 things you definitely shouldn't do

  1. Leave your mobile phone or any other valuables unattended on the beach, even for one minute!
  2. Ride a motorcycle during monsoon rains.
  3. If you are a single girl and live in a guesthouse on the island, bring guests over and have noisy parties.
  4. When going to the Full Moon Party on the island of Koh Rong, it would be reckless to forget your flashlight - the path to the island lies through a small part of the jungle.
    And most importantly...
  5. Forget to use mosquito repellent every few hours!!! They'll eat you alive...

5 things you must do in this country

  1. Try Happy Smoothie and Happy Pizza with interesting toppings that will expand your consciousness and put you in a pleasant meditative state. This is especially pleasant on one of the paradise Cambodian islands...
  2. Attend the Full Moon Party, which is held during the full moon on the island of Koh Rong on the ocean shore.
  3. Bargain at the market and be surprised to find out that you can buy this dress or jeans for 5 times cheaper.
  4. Walk with your loved one or best friend through the jungle on Koh Rong island and come out to its deserted part.
  5. Having completed the previous point, stay on a deserted part of the island with your adventure partner and live in a tent, fishing, making a fire and feeling like Robinson Crusoe and Friday!

    Anything to add?

If you have read about Cambodia and are really excited about the idea of ​​visiting this Asian state, then we have bad news for you. The flight from Moscow to Cambodia is so difficult that it has already managed to stop a single tourist. But if you are not a timid person and are willing to overcome all difficulties just to end up in Cambodia, then we have prepared an article just for you - how to get from Moscow to Cambodia. But before the flight, it is better to contact a private Russian guide in Cambodia in advance and clarify the question about the excursion and transfer.

How to get to Cambodia

The largest airport in Cambodia is located in the country's capital, Phnom Penh. The airport is large and international, but it serves mainly Asian destinations. Therefore, the main options for how to fly to Cambodia are connected with China. From Moscow you will have to fly with transfers, for example, in the following cities:

  • Guangzhou;
  • Doha;

China is the most important “neighbor” and “donor” of tourists for Cambodia. Guangzhou is one of the largest cities in the country and this is where transfers are most often made. You can also change trains in Beijing or Shanghai. Sometimes there are profitable tickets through South Korea, for example, through Seoul. Doha is located in Qatar. This option is somewhat more convenient, since Qatar Airways are famous for their colossal level of comfort.

So what is the minus, you ask. It's simple - you have to fly 30-40 hours one way. As of November 21, we could not find a single option on how to get to Cambodia in less than 30 hours. The fastest option was 33 hours and 20 minutes. You can imagine that after such a flight you will need to move away from it. And if you have a limited number of vacation days, then Cambodia is literally inaccessible.

Prices

Prices are another annoying aspect of this flight. On average, you will have to pay about 20 thousand rubles for a one-way flight. And this takes into account the fact that you are flying with transfers and the flight itself is extremely difficult. But don’t be fooled, many people choose Cambodia not from Moscow, but when traveling around Southeast Asia. This is a healthy choice and in this case you will not have to fly with long layovers or spend a huge amount of money. Therefore, Cambodia is a very frequent stop when traveling around Asia.

Flight Moscow Cambodia: how long to fly, features

One of the main travel criteria, in addition to price, is flight time. Every tourist wants to know how long it takes to fly from Moscow if he decides to visit a country like Cambodia?

And to understand this, you first need to decide on the airport in the host country. So, for example, in Cambodia there are three international airports that accept flights from Moscow, located in the cities of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville.

Unfortunately, there is no direct flight between Moscow and these cities. This means that your trip to this amazing country will depend on factors such as the ratio of price and travel time. That is, how much are you willing to pay for a flight if you want to get there as quickly as possible? Or is it better to save on a ticket at the expense of your time? Because the average flight duration is about a day. There are flights that take even two days of travel and more than one transfer. And there are flights on which you can get to the Cambodian airport in just thirteen hours and five minutes, but you will have to shell out twice as much money.

For example, such a flight from Moscow to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports is operated by Aeroflot. Only with a mandatory transfer at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, from where, with a wait of about three hours, you can fly on a direct flight, also operated by Aeroflot. Prices for such a flight vary from 42 thousand to 65 thousand rubles, depending on the season. If you want something cheaper, you can go from Sheremetyevo to Ganjou by Aeroflot flight to Baiyun Airport and from there with Cambodia Angkor Air to Pokentong Airport, located in the city of Phnom Penh. In time it will take 14 hours 25 minutes, and at a cost of 25 thousand rubles per person.

It is worth noting that transfers can be both daytime and nighttime. And the waiting time can also vary from one hour to three to four hours.
There may be more transfers. There are quite cheap flight options from 22 thousand rubles, but the travel time exceeds one day.

So, for example, from Vnukovo you can go with Turkish Airlines to Istanbul and spend about 8 hours there in order to transfer at night to another flight of the same airline with a transfer in Ho Chi Minh City and wait 3 hours 25 minutes in Kuala Lumpur, where you can fly to Phnom Penh, with a wait of more than thirteen hours. In such cases, you wonder if it’s worth paying less to wait? After all, there is nothing worse than waiting, even if it is busy with excursions around the city where you stopped to wait for boarding for another flight. Because if you miss your flight, it will be, to say the least, unpleasant and very troublesome.
Therefore, when choosing flights from Moscow to Cambodia, you should first of all find the right balance between your capabilities and patience. Happy travels!
