About
I head the Edge-Case desk at VisaToCambodia. When somebody calls us at 2 a.m. because their passport was stolen in Bangkok and they need to be in Phnom Penh by morning, that call routes to my team. Funeral travel, medical evacuation, family emergencies, dropped-and-cracked phones with the only copy of an eVisa PDF on them — these are the calls we own. Since 2021 I've built and refined the playbook the rest of the company runs when ordinary timelines collapse: who at the embassy to talk to, which Cambodian Immigration desks will move fast, what the e-Arrival fallback paths actually look like on the ground. The urgent-and-unusual posts on this site come from that playbook. The calm tone is deliberate; the speed underneath is too. Off-hours I'm probably reading detective fiction or arguing with my mother about whether vinegar belongs in tabbouleh.
