“Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind, and fills your life with stories to tell.”

Dear Trade Colleagues,

Life is always full of challenges and how we overcome them is what defines us. Life is always full of challenges and how we overcome them is what defines us.

Some of the hurdles Sri Lanka faced in the last two years have melted away and others have taken their place, but we Sri Lankans are determined to overcome these challenges. The good news is that travelling around Sri Lanka is as easy as it was in the pre-covid days. We’re loving the inflow of travellers and their explorations, and social media is the perfect testament to the great experiences they are having in sunny Sri Lanka!

So, on that note, let’s find out why everything is just right in a corner of Ella, learn how to feel life on your face on a Tuk Tuk, have an exciting encounter with the “Deen” man, and also give “Ecology Education” while we’re at it!
As always, I wish you and your clients an experiential journey and look forward to seeing you soon.
