I’m Jared. I’ve lived in Cambodia for more than 14 years. And I know some things about the place. I first came here in 2001 while I was living in Hanoi. In 2002 I went back to the US to go to graduate school. While at the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin I came back to Cambodia numerous times to conduct preliminary research and in 2010 I moved to Cambodia to do my dissertation research. By 2014 I correctly decided that the PhD thing I was trying to get was dumb. Since then I’ve done business research, AirBnBed rooms, and taught English in Phnom Penh; worked at a Casino in Kampot; and now I lead food tours in Siem Reap (for [[Siem Reap Food Tours]] of course). And I write random stuff here. And I make dumb [TikToks](https://www.tiktok.com/@jaredscambodia). These days I do lots of stuff. For now you can see what all that is on my [linktree](https://linktr.ee/JaredsCambodia). #introductions
