Sri Lanka is honestly one of my favorite countries to visit, full stop. I’ve been a couple of times now, and every time I’m reminded just how beautiful it is. The culture, the food, the landscapes, it’s all just so good. And I do feel like Sri Lanka is having a bit of a moment…
Since a lot of people are starting to plan their next vacation, surf trip, or backpacking adventure to Sri Lanka this coming season, I thought it was the perfect time to put a few more helpful travel guides out there. Hiriketiya Beach is definitely one of my favorite places in Sri Lanka, actually, probably my…
I’ve had a few months now to think about this since I left Hiriketiya, and after visiting even more Asian countries, especially in Southeast Asia, I can confidently say that Hiriketiya Beach on the south coast of Sri Lanka is my favorite little beach town in Asia. No place in the Philippines, Thailand, or Indonesia…
Nuwara Eliya definitely surprised us. After a couple of weeks of travel along the south coast of Sri Lanka, we took the train from Ella to Kandy and decided to stop in Nuwara Eliya for two days. It ended up being the perfect break. The town is often referred to as little England as it…
I have to admit, Mirissa is not the best spot in Sri Lanka for a beach vacation. Does that surprise you? I feel like that’s something people just don’t mention about most of these beach towns on the south coast—Ahangama, Weligama, and yes, Mirissa. They don’t exactly have those wide, white-sand beaches that stretch on…
When I first started planning our Sri Lanka trip, I knew I wanted to take that famous train ride—the one winding through the hills from Kandy to Ella that everyone seems to talk about. I pictured misty mountains, endless tea plantations, and that perfect moment leaning out of a train door, wind in my face….
Mirissa is for sure one of the most popular beach towns in Sri Lanka. When we first started looking into places to stay, I wasn’t totally sure if Mirissa was the right call—I’d seen so many videos of it looking super busy and crowded, and at the time we were craving something a bit more…
After two months on Sri Lanka’s south coast, arriving in Nuwara Eliya was honestly kind of a shock—in the best way. We took the train from Ella, and it ended up being the most beautiful part of the whole journey. As we climbed higher into the mountains, the scenery completely changed. The thick jungle slowly…
Weligama in Sri Lanka has been a surf mecca for years now—and I’ve realized that where there’s surf, there’s often yoga. It just makes sense. Balance, core strength, flexibility, control over your body—yoga gives you so much that translates directly into surfing. Now, I’ve never been the biggest surfer (honestly, it’s just so hard to…
Weligama is definitely one of the most popular beach towns in Sri Lanka—and honestly, I get why. The surf culture is huge here, with loads of surf camps, schools, and people arriving from all over the world to learn how to surf. Naturally, that kind of crowd creates a chill, laid-back vibe, and you can…
