🇮🇸 Iceland or 🇰🇭 Cambodia
Which one, honestly
Iceland leads on nature and getting around. Cambodia leads on value for money, food and the sea.
A normal day costs about $190 in Iceland and $70 in Cambodia.

Pick by what you want
🇮🇸 Choose Iceland if
you want landscape above everything else, and you have accepted in advance that it costs more than anywhere else here.
🇰🇭 Choose Cambodia if
you want the most impressive ruin in Asia, and a country that is still cheap and still quiet once you leave it.
