Do they have a lot of meat dishes? Is there a lot of ranching there?

Thanks for the presentation. It's like traveling around the country in half an hour. Great work and love the way you present.

Video is very informative... kindly provide taxi app name

Great video, thank you! I searched for videos about Sri Lanka and was disappointed…then your video showed up magically in my feed and now I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. We are visiting mid-July…I know English is widely spoken, but what is (are? ) the dominant local language(s)?

Pays sans reconnaissance, superficiel!

Amazing tips. Thank you so much.

Tell
More about weather. Which months monsoon in east & south.

And also for how long?

Helloo 👋 it's a great video you made. I lived in Sri Lanka for a few months in 2018. I was in the southwest coast and I traveled to the southeast coast once, and only briefly up to colombo for getting paperwork done. I was solo traveling 🌊🏄‍♀️ and became good friends with locals that I ended up spending all my time with. While I was there, eventually I noticed that in every space I went to, I was the only woman in sight. In the markets, around town, it was either only men in public, or the occasional foreigner woman. For the entirety of my time I never met any Sri Lankan women in public or communal spaces, and never caught even a glimpse of someone my age. I think only from afar at some temples I could see families. One of my friends, who I had become quite close to over a long time, who had brought me to his village and invited me to eat with his mother, one day I finally asked him why there were no women around. I was gentle, but the question made him so uncomfortable that he couldn't answer. I never really got to learn more detail or nuance about this aspect of what goes on in Sri Lankan culture beyond that. I felt sad personally because I craved to be around other women and different viewpoints, even my close friends it was still a bit hard to feel at ease only around men 24/7. Even though we were all very loving, kind, and generous toward one another. Is there any chance that you may be able to share about if changes have happened since then or how it is for you as a local woman; if it is easy for you to meet other women make friends etc? From the video I can see it seems different!

this is one of the best 'watch this before' travel videos. Simple direct, and includes things that are not obvious and common sense

Sri Lanka is so shit. Been to every country in Asia, Sri Lanka & Timor-Leste are the worst two countries.

Please understand her points elephants are not toys, not the mode of travel, only watch them in distance in their natural habitat. Leopard chasing is harming the animals and the environment. Please give this a miss I yala.

You’re honestly such a treasure to Sri Lanka! The way you talk about Sri Lanka makes people want to book a trip right away. Love how much heart you put into it! You truly deserve more recognition!

Srilanka government should make you brand ambassador of 🇱🇰

Superb! I’ve been to Sri Lanka thrice (2000, 2011) for work and have stayed for approximately 75 days for work. Now I’m planning to visit for approximately 20 days to see the culturural, hill country, beach sites. Your videos gives a great insight to the planning. Keep the excellent work going! 💐🎉

Fingers Crossed

I wouldn't go to a national park because the noises of the vehicles generate noise pollution for the animals.

Question, for a diabetic, what can one eat for sides as carbs spike glucose in sri Lanka?

Hi Sheneller, thank you so much for this valuable information! Can’t wait to travel to Sri Lanka this July! Could you recommend an ethical safari please?

❤ 🇱🇰

I wish our Bangladesh had an incredible creator like you!

HI SHENNEL excellent advice on all matters about SRI LANKA being my motherland being to SLwith family and on my own as well i consider it very safe as well as the people have a genuine desire to help you enjoy your holidays,,BE careful with some tuk tuk drivers especially ones that are unmetred or else make sure it is a agreed fair price per kilometre and refuse to pay more than agreed unless the service provided is enjoyable and exceptional by tipping extra,,The drivers dont earn much same as the market stalls in the villages,,or food veniues ..Buses can be very crowded and you may need to stand the entire journey or use private bus services for long trips and moststop only in major towns for the public to releive themselves or buy refreshments or food,,Most towns dont have customary toilets westerners are used too.BUT YOU WILL CERTAINLY ENJOY EVERYTHING THAT SRI LANKA HAS TO OFFER TO YOU ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS

thanks, what you are doing is the best which people understand how to travel in Srilanka even locals

🌹❤️❤️

I think we need to get off parks and let animals thrive. Pollutiom like noise, transport maybe doing damage to these areas that are intended to be virgin terrain for animals and plants. Good advice as no one wants Sri Lanka to lose their beautiful culture. My country India is losing its Asian culture and hopefully, Indian bloggers will educate tourists too. The emergency nos are a great idea. Your soothing tone mattered as who wants a screechy, irritating tone. This blog was educational for potential tourists. Hopefully, tourism does not destroy the beautiful peace and tranquility

SHUT UP.. PLEASE..

I'm a female traveller coming from India. Is it safe?

😯😟😃🙋‍♂️🧛‍♂️👍👌💗
