Emily Marshall didn’t set out to become a travel content creator, she just couldn’t ignore the pull of adventure. At 19, she travelled to Cambodia, sparking a love affair with Southeast Asia that led to two years of travel and the creation of her Instagram account, @wanderlust__ems.

Emily's Favourite Destination

“It’s Cambodia for sure. The people are so friendly, the pace of life is relaxed, and there are still so many unspoilt places. It feels like home to me.”

One place that stands out is Kampong Cham, the quiet province where her journey began. “You can go weeks without seeing another tourist, it’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in true Khmer culture.”


Emily travels with purpose, favouring local stories over landmarks and finding beauty in the everyday. From remote villages to unpredictable weather, she’s relied on Lifesystems and Lifeventure gear to stay safe and prepared. Her journey proves that adventure isn’t always about extremes — it’s about curiosity, connection, and carving your own path.
