My first time in Sri Lanka.
This country has been on my bucket list for years, and I have only heard amazing things – which all were confirmed.
I started in Colombo, a city that you shouldn’t miss on your trip here. There was so much to see and do, and the city is a perfect mix of new buildings with old and historic sites.
I then took the train down to Galle – and this train ride was one of my highlights. I got the see the scenery along the coastline which was amazing.
After 1 day in Galle, I went to Ella – the iconic town in the mountains. The scenery is out of this world, lush, green, waterfalls and mountains – one of my favorite places ever.
About me 👨
My name is Alex, and in December of 2023, I quit my job, sold my apartment and all my belongings to pursuit a lifelong dream of traveling full time.
The idea of traveling solo, as a middle-aged man, is both exciting and daunting, so I decided to bring my camera, and document my experiences. Not only to share my journey but also in the hopes of showing how amazing and wonderful traveling and the world truly is. 🌍
My goal is to visit the traditional sights as well as the lesser-known places – on a budget – and do some volunteer work with animals whenever possible.
