🐀 Would you hold a rat that saves lives? Meet Poppy — a landmine-detecting HeroRAT at APOPO @herorats @apopo.center Yes, she licked my hand. Yes, I almost cried. And YES — this belongs on your Cambodia itinerary. 💛 APOPO is a non-profit that trains African giant pouched rats to detect landmines and tuberculosis. After decades of war, Cambodia was left with over 6 million landmines — and these rats are helping clear them, quickly and safely. They can sweep a tennis court–sized area in just 30 minutes and get rewarded with banana treats 🍌 They retire in comfort — because they’ve saved thousands of lives. 📍Visited the APOPO Visitor Center near Angkor Wat, Siem Reap CAMBODIA 🇰🇭 ✈️ Flew from Bangalore (BLR) to Siem Reap (SAI) via Bangkok DMK with @airasia — proud to be part of the #AirAsiaTravelerSquad2025 🌏 ✨ Follow @SkinnyGirlDiariez for more offbeat, feel-good travel stories from Asia & beyond. 🎥 Save this reel & tag a friend you’d bring to APOPO! #AirAsia #AirAsiaFlyWithMe #VisitCambodia #SiemReap #CambodiaTravel #Apopo #HeroRats #HiddenGemsAsia #TravelWithPurpose #LandmineAwareness #AirAsiaTravelerSquad2025 #CambodiaItinerary #ResponsibleTravel #SkinnyGirlDiariez
