My Cambodian Family

Liinks to the pages detailing my special relationship with this Cambodian family. The story starts in 2011 when I first met Mao and follows an emotional journey of their lives.

My name is Roy Schofield.

I was born in Leeds, England where I have always lived - even though I have travelled the world.

Many of my past memories stem from my love of Leeds United and travel - often combining both! I attended my first Leeds United match in 1961 and my first overseas visit was in 1971 - to watch Leeds United! Sadly, 2020 was the first year I did not travel overseas and also missed my first Leeds game -for over 40 years - both due to the Covid restrictions imposed.

Through my travels following football, my passion for travelling grew and I have now visited most areas of the world. I have currently visited 142 'official' countries (Member States of the United Nations) plus a number of other territories, taking photographs and often writing blogs of my experiences.

Hopefully you will be encouraged to continue looking through my website - seeing pictures from my travels and to read about my adventures in my blogs. Some of the things I have seen have been truly amazing but sadly some have been hearbreakingly sad. So why not travel the world in my footsteps - and see the world on this website.

I am also in the process of adding a FOOTBALL section to this website - which will include cine footage of my early visits overseas watching Leeds United.

Regards

Roy
