Why Ties?

Our Cambodia Ties journeys are designed specifically for adoptees returning to Cambodia — not as tourists, but as individuals reconnecting with their personal history and heritage. Supported by our dedicated Ties team before, during, and after travel, each experience is thoughtfully built around adoptee needs, identity exploration, and meaningful cultural connection.

We work closely with trusted in-country partners and guides to create opportunities for deeper engagement - including heritage sites, cultural learning, and, when possible, connections tied to each traveler’s story - all within a supportive adoptee peer community.

Through curated heritage experiences, personalized support, and shared reflection, we walk alongside you every step of the way.

Our programs help Cambodian adoptees reconnect with their roots, deepen cultural understanding, and honor their individual journeys.

We understand adoptees because we are them.

Island Reflection: The Koh Rong Extension

Optional 3–4 Day Beach Trip Post-Tour

After the deep emotional work and historical discovery of our main journey, we invite you to transition to the pristine shores of Koh Rong. Known for its powdery white sand beaches and turquoise waters, this island offers the perfect setting to decompress, connect, and process your heritage experience in a tranquil paradise.

Inclusions: Breakfast, activities, double bed occupancy, transportation and boat ride to the island and back to the airport

Individual and group pricing for this excursion is currently being finalized and is expected to be available in early April. Due to the high-touch nature of our private transport and the premium resort options curated for the island, families should anticipate this 4-day extension to start at $800+ per person, with final costs depending on your specific lodging choices and group size.

“I traveled with the Ties Program to Cambodia at the end of December 2013 and beginning of January 2014. It was a journey that will be remembered for our lifetimes, one that is hard to describe adequately in words. This would not have been possible without the kindness, care, and attention to detail of the Ties Program.”

—Shorey B., Cambodian Ties 2013
