Our experience with Seavyi Yonn and his team in Siem Reap was outstanding from start to finish. Their deep local knowledge, thoughtful planning, and genuine care for our students created an experience that was both meaningful and seamless. Seavyi has a remarkable ability to connect with young people, guiding them with patience, insight, and a warmth that made every moment feel personal and purposeful. The program left a lasting impact on our students, enriching their understanding of Cambodian culture, history, and community life. We are grateful for the professionalism and heart that Seavyi and his team brought to our journey, and we look forward to seeing Pum Journeys continue to inspire learners from around the world.

Leading this trip to Cambodia with my students was one of the most transformative educational experiences I have witnessed, and that is a testament to Seavyi’s exceptional work. He designed and led the program with care, intention, and deep professionalism, consistently challenging students to rethink their perspectives and engage meaningfully with the world around them. I saw firsthand how the experience fostered empathy, growth, and lasting personal reflection in our students. I would highly recommend his work to any school seeking a truly impactful experiential program.

I was fortunate to be a part of a teachers immersion tour in Cambodia in December 2025 with Seavi Yoon Yonn as our tour leader.
One of the things that struck me about Seavi was how friendly and welcoming he was. He showed a terrific mix of professionalism and fun with our group and he shared many stories and anecdotes along the way.
We felt fully supported by him. He made great judgements based on the mood of the group and would give us options if we needed to and his options always worked out really well…. So he obviously knew his stuff.
Culturally, he enlightened us on many of the Cambodian nuances. And shared with us his knowledge of the past combined with his hope for the future.
Couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

I have done two trips lead by Seavyi (in Cambodia and Vietnam) and both trips were the perfect balance of food culture, and adventure. Seavyi is an excellent guide, not only professional but also approachable and friendly. He put us at ease for our entire trip. Seavyi’s knowledge of local culture, history, and hidden gems added so much depth to our experience. I would highly recommend joining any trip or experience that Seavyi is a part of!

Seavyi’s greatest strengths are his ability to listen, communicate thoughtfully, and offer insightful perspectives.

His effort to build genuine friendships with students made the experience unforgettable. I will always remember the stories he shared and how much effort he put into making the trip the best possible experience.

Seavyi is kind, an attentive listener, and brings valuable insight as a native of Cambodia that other instructors could not provide. I was most inspired when he shared his own life experiences and explained how what we were learning had affected him and his family.

His personal stories and perspective made the experience far more impactful.
