Hello srilanka, see you tomorrow, I’m ready excited 😜
Wow....what a wonderful country .My mother's land keeps exploring such beautiful people & enjoy .godbless .❤❤❤
Glad to see you have started your next adventure!
Thank you! We’re so excited to kick off this new adventure and can’t wait to share it with you
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Your dialogue is excellent! Your voice is very nice!
We really appreciate that! It’s so great knowing you and your wife are enjoying the videos-your support keeps us motivated!
Fun fact sri lanka had the world's first female prime minister/elected head of state and for a developing country sri lanka has major health indicators and some standards of living indicators in line with developed countries
That’s such a cool fact-Sri Lanka having the world’s first female prime minister is incredible!
Believe that divorced rate in this country is .002%
Thanks to exploring my country. You must visit upcountry , down south and northern of the country
Wow, I'm excited to continue following your travels after watching your videos from the Ultimate World Cruise. I have a feeling that the forthcoming videos will be more in-depth and interesting because you'll be immersed further in the culture by having more time to explore! Greetings from Canada!
Yes, it’s such a shift from the cruise! We’re loving this slower, immersive travel-it really lets us explore in our own way. Exciting destinations and videos are on the way. Sending greetings to Canada!
Nice to see you again. Wish I could travel like you are doing but I cannot…so I’m travelling with you with your videos, thank you
It’s great to have you along for the journey through our videos! Knowing you’re traveling with us this way makes it all the more special. Thank you for your kind words!
I have enjoyed your videos for over a year. I am so invested in your channel, waiting for the next adventure ❤❤❤
Thank you for following along for so long! It’s people like you who keep us inspired to keep exploring. More adventures are on the way-stay tuned!
Lovely vlog. Greetings from Mokokchung town , Nagaland, India ❤
Your narrative is so beautiful. You should read some audiobooks. Its very smoothing. ❤
Appreciate the compliment! For us, videos are just a fun hobby in retirement. Audiobooks sound like a lot of work, and we’re all about squeezing as much joy out of life as we can right now!
Love from Sri lanka
Thank you! Lots of love to Sri Lanka-what an amazing place! ❤️
What is the name of the hotel you stayed in
Thanks 🥰
It's nice to see you visit Sri Lanka and thank you for doing so. Please do visit again and enjoy going to some of the other lesser visited cities as well, I'm sure you will enjoy it very much. By the way, all those fine ultra-modern, luxury buildings and developments you were admiring were all initiated and started by the so-called government you claimed to have run the country bankrupt and into a China debt trap. If there is a debt trap of any kind, its one created by Western organizations such as the World Bank, IMF and the likes who forever want to see us struggle and crawl on our fours. When you visit a country, best leave that country's political and economic issues to that country's locals, they know best about their internal issues way better than anyone else. What you've drawn from is absolute nonsensical rubbish floating around on social media mostly created by Western media giving the rest of the world a completely incorrect picture of Sri Lanka. Thanks again for visiting and please do enjoy the rest of your stay.
Nice video ❤ 🇱🇰
Nice ❤❤️ From 🇱🇰
Waiting for next one
Thanks for waiting! The next adventure is just around the corner-won’t keep you waiting too long!
Wow ❤❤❤❤
We greatly appreciate you taking the time to visit Sri Lanka, our small yet beautiful country in the Indian Ocean. Your visit means a lot to us, and we hope you have a wonderful time exploring our diverse cultures.
We’re so touched by your kind words! Sri Lanka has been nothing short of amazing, and we’re thrilled to be experiencing its rich culture and stunning landscapes.
Fantastic show! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your wonderful documentary. Keep up the great work! We would love for you to visit our charming villa nestled in the mountains, where time seems to stand still. With its stunning mountain views, it would be the perfect spot for an incredible video. Hindagala Retreat, Kandy, Sri Lanka
Thank you so much for your kind words! Hindagala Retreat sounds absolutely enchanting-stunning mountain views and a timeless vibe are exactly what we love. We’d definitely keep it in mind for a future visit to Kandy!
Nice
SRI LANKA 😍🙏❤
Was this an unfiltered glimpse of hidden gems? Kind of a glossy lightweight tour for me...
Appreciate your honesty! Sometimes the schedule or focus shifts to broader highlights, but we’ll definitely aim for a deeper dive into hidden gems in the future!
Welcome to Sri Lanka
Hope you keep away from unknown politics.
China has been a great friend of Sri Lanka. There are so many things the Chinese government gifted to Sri Lanka .ex: BMICH, COLOMBO SUPREME COURT COMPLEX, MANY IRRIGATION PROJECTS AND DAMS, MANY BRIDGES AND ROADS. HOSPITAL S SPECIALLY KIDNEY HOSPITAL WITH THOUSAND BEDS.
SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL EQUIPMENTS , UNIFORM Materials FOR 4 MILLION STUDENTS. Military EQUIPMENT AND training during the terrorist war . massive list all gifts. It was never a debut trap as you and western media called due to pandemic and two years closure no exports no tourists was the reason for the economic crisis.
China is still helping in a big way without publicising.
Hope you will visit at least BMICH.
JUST TO SEE THE CHINESE GENEROSITY. GIFTED TO SRI LANKA IN 1974.
HAVE A LOVELY AND ENJOYABLE STAY.❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing such detailed insights! It’s always fascinating to learn more about the history and contributions in a place we visit.
@bztravel for your further information
Sri Lanka considers all countries as friends,but none as the enemies .
Among them best friends are
China
Pakistan
Russia
Iran
USA
UK
European union
Cuba
INDIA IS OUR BIG BROTHER
What a group of countries we have as immediate friends.
Due to nonaligned polices 😂😂😂
Safe and happy holidays.
May the blessings of the triple gem be with you and your family always.
Triple gem means BUDHA, DHAMMA.
SANGA.
GOD BLESS YOU

Pickme is 10%-20% cheaper than IndianUBER in Sri Lanka.
Whereever Pickme is not avail try Uber and avoid 3wheelers stands at all times which says their taxi meter is not working..., and 3rdly if Uber also fails. stop 3 wheelers travelling on the road with a Green or Red TAXI LED lighted Board..
Thanks for the tip! We’ll definitely use PickMe where it’s available and keep Uber as a backup.
Thats the new casino due to open soon
❤❤❤🎉🇱🇰🤩
Nice video. Would have been even better if you didn't add old aerial footage from 7 years ago.
Thanks for your feedback! We didn’t realize stock footage had an expiration date. Unfortunately, drones aren’t allowed in Sri Lanka, so we had to work with what we had. If you’ve got newer footage, we’d love to see it!
@@bztravel Stock footage do get an expiration date around cities unfortunately, especially when they show unfinished buildings that were actually finished ages ago. Drones are allowed with special permissions but its cumbersome to get them. All the best with your travels and VLOGs.!
Welcome to Paradise. Enjoy your holiday much love from kandy
Thank you for the warm welcome! Kandy is truly paradise, and we’re so excited to explore more of its beauty. Much love right back to you!
Thank you for visiting our motherland ❤🎉
3rd world train?
Thats a diesel locomotive 😂
Hi, thanks for covering Sri Lanka. I'd recommend not talking about politics of SL. It's a controversial topic. And also appreciate it if you can not include Indian music in the background next time. SL and India are two different countries with different cultures. Cheers.
Appreciate your thoughts! We include music that fits the vibe, and since Western music is usually accepted, we assumed Indian would be fine too. As for politics and history, we share what we hear from guides and locals without taking sides. From the feedback, it’s clear Sri Lanka has its complexities, which is part of what makes it so fascinating.
Locals average monthly salary around 150$. So, is it unfair to have to have 2 & 20 compared to other countries.
Thanks for bringing this up! For us, $20 to visit the tower felt reasonable, but we can see how having two prices might feel unfair, especially with visitors from countries with similar income levels to Sri Lanka. It was just an observation on our part.
@@bztravel Locals are paying the debts for the construction. Hence it is reasonable to give them a discounted price. Isn't it?
9:40 Oh really lady? I think you should stick to what you are good at, like showing the people what my country look like, please don't comment on things that you have no idea what so ever? how tf China dragged Sri Lanka into bankruptcy when Sri Lanka's majority of loans are from market borrowings,
47% - Market Borrowings (ISB - international sovereign bonds)
13% - Asian Development Bank
10% - Japan
10% - China
9% World Bank
No wonder why you came to that conclusion. Your news channels are pouring down your throat day and night their own narrative. Thank you for visiting and keep your propaganda piece to yourself, take care
Why are you using Indian music?? What kinda propaganda is this??
Thank you for your comment! As Westerners, distinguishing the origin of music can be challenging, and finding royalty-free music is always a bit of work. Since there’s a part of the population in Sri Lanka with Indian roots, we didn’t think it would be an issue. If Western music is commonly used in backgrounds, why should Indian music be seen as propaganda?
@@bztravelWell there is a part but its very minority. So dont use Indian music on us We fking Hate it .
Welcome to Sri Lanka. Have fun! :)
Thanks so much! We’re already loving Sri Lanka and can’t wait for all the adventures ahead!
❤❤❤❤❤
