Business trip to Sihanoukville, Cambodia, two years ago bringing Diva Travel had the opportunity to get to know Manich better, one of the founders of Motogirl Tour in Cambodia.
His body is slim. Stands about 145-150 centimeter. Straight hair, long and loose. His name, Sreynich Horm. However, when acquainted with him, he asked Travel Diva to call him by the name of Manich.
Travel Diva's introduction to him happened accidentally in the Giant Ibis travel waiting room, Phnom Penh. At that time, Travel Diva will return to Sihanoukville after a long business trip 5 days in Phnom Penh. Meanwhile Manich, will leave for Siem Reap.
Seeing his small and slender stature, It did not occur to me that the woman was the founder and tour guide agent of Motogirl Tour. As one of the Motogirl Tour tour guide team, Manich certainly has to ride a tourist around Phnom Penh on his motorbike.
Motogirl Tour is the first travel agency for all female tour guides and guides tourists using motorbikes. Total, there are four women who become the tour guide crew.
As the only travel agent for women using motorized transportation, the Motogirl crew is easily recognizable by the uniform. They wore tight red t-shirts and skinny jeans. The vehicle used to invite tourists around the city is a motorbike. For Manich, being a Motogirl is not easy. According to the woman who used to work as a British Broadcasting Corporation correspondent (BBC) the, female tour guides seem to sometimes get the stamp of "not a good girl" under the guise of tour guides.
According to him, the perception is imprecise. Her parents also worried that she would receive inappropriate treatment from foreign tourists. But, that is precisely the challenge. Break that misperception by working professionally and reassuring the family that he will be fine.
Motogirl Tour business started in 2016, with a motorbike capital and the ability to speak English. One of the advantages that Motogirl offers is the ability to ride a motorbike at low speed so it doesn't panic tourists.
Dear, the conversation with Manich had to stop because the bus that was going to take Travel Diva to Sihanoukville was ready to leave. Before parting, he uttered during the way as he spoke, “We will sometime traveling together."
