It’s so nice that everyone shows such amazing hospitality in Sri Lanka. After spending 8 months in Bali in the past, when I returned to Alaska I really sensed how competitive they were with each other. My friends were working on their masters degree, working jobs, and learning new things online. It just felt like everyone was competing against each other. It was an underlying feeling.
There are eight UNESCO world heritage sites in Sri Lanka and Sigiriya is one of them. If you want just to climb a rock and see the view Pidurangala will work as it is $3 compared to $30 for Sigiriya. If you want to see what Sigiriya offers, which is where a king in ancient Sri Lanka lived and want to see the ruins and the frescos, then you should visit Sigiriya.
Aww it was such a pleasure meeting you guys! We hope that our paths will cross again at some point soon! Gutted we missed Soul Food Cafe, it looked incredible and it looked like you had a beautiful time with the local family, those are the best moments for sure! 🙏
Guys it’s the Tuk Tuk that’s draining your energy. You got to have air conditioning in the vehicle to travel long distance in Sri Lanka. Also you could’ve used the expressway if not for the Tuk Tuk. The unobstructed scenery along the expressway and the stress free traffic makes a difference too.
Go see a good Osteopath to get your migraines sorted I suffered for 8 years and found a fantastic osteopath who found my hips were out...After fixing that I never had a migraine since...Its the best never having them again and any headaches I get are just amusing now
This was my absolute favorite vid !! Very real and love the way you interact & appreciate the local people. Youve covered everything on this trip, the highs & lows . Although tired and worn out from endless travel you both look very healthy & happy .✌️😊
Homestay's are great for an authentic immersive experience. I actually felt Mandy destress...her pitch and pace of speaking slowed right down towards the end 🧘🏼♀️
Hey guys, have been watching your vids for two years and appreciate how you continue to refine your vids both technically and in terms of how you communicate. Smart vlogging. Keep it up…we’re a family of four from Toronto and have travelled extensively so we can relate to obstacles you come across. Therapy sponsor is an interesting touch…appreciate the vulnerabity.
Mandy I used to get this migranes too. Eyedrops with caffeine helped and withdrawing to space with no lights. I found and translated this advice also. Maybe some of this could ease the symptoms for you too: lie down in a room where there are no unnecessary sources of light and noise and where other stimuli are limited. You also need to ensure proper hydration of your body. For this purpose, you can drink water or herbal infusions - for me chamomile and lemon balm works but be careful with chamomile while being exposed to sun. In some cases, compresses on the temples, relaxation techniques, and heat also help. I also used paracetamol as it was a headache. ❤ take care lots of peace 🙏
At 23:14: Guys I love a good look at the foods and meals you eat. All I ask is that you let your camera linger on the goodies a bit longer, please so that we can enjoy your meals right along with you. I love knowing about and seeing what folks eat including ... ingredients. 😊 😋
When I start to feel mentally sluggish and down I attend yoga, palates, boot camp, TRX and living strong classes M-F. Three classes M/TUE/WED and two classes THUR/FRI. When I have too long of a break I can get down due to the darkness in Alaska. I imagine I would use better help if I didn’t have an option to work out to get my mind back on track.
Hi Mandy&Lloyd When you close your eyes do you get super bright zig zag image? Sometimes your vision can lose focus and depth? Do you get triggers like Dehydration. Extra ordinary exertion? Extra bright light sources? I find that electrolyte tablets, drop them in a glass of water, increasing salt intake and removing light sources. Like maybe pull a curtain over a bright window when watching tv in a darker room. A rest or nap in a dark room helps. Good luck and safe travels.
I am so impressed the way you two connect with local SLs. Mandy looked so serine and pure in font of Lord Buddha's statute. I watched it repeatedly because I do not get the chance to do this pious act myself. It is believed even witnessing that repeated actions such as these, will show the way to enlightenment, Nirvana.🙏🌹🌹 Point to note is real Buddhism is not a religion but a way of living. Very best of luck to both Lloyd and Mandy. Safe travels. Thanks for the lovely video.☺🥰❤🙏🙏🌹🌹
Thx for great vlog i like much. Abou migrane yeah could be many things. Staying hydrated and sleep well is basic. Diet is important. Malnutrition of minerals as magnesium is common - sleeping bad and wake up. Magnesium Is used in 600 biochemical reactions in body. Is common in nuts as walnut... and seeds as in pumpkin and chia seeds which both are healthy. Maybe stay away of to much omega6...omega3 is good. Anyway take care
Have you both ever thought àbout house sitting? It might just be the break from hotels that you need. I think trusted housesitters are worldwide its free i think there is just a yearly fee sometimes you get to mind pet's worth a look into if you want a change. Sorry to hear about your migraines Mandy i hope they improve ❤
It would appear that your views are continuing to decline so it isn't you that people are tuning in to see but more so the location. It is always the location that is the star so perhaps it is time to relocate to get the viewership up?

Lloyd, right at 08:26, I'm curious to know what the tat on your left upper forearm says, please. Cannot quite make it out.

Such friendly people in Sri Lanka! Definitely need to visit someday

I saw the other video and thought I was going mad, thinking I'd missed a video somewhere. But here it is 😊🥰
I thought the same
Have loved your videos of Sri Lanka but this one is very special. Keep up the great work. Take care and stay safe and well. 😀🌻
My favorite video from you guys so far.. thank you for being humble to locals .enjoy ur stay in sri lanka
Ohh Sigiriya is a must visit place man. U should have visited
අපේ මේ විලා එක කරන කපල් එකට කවදා හරි උතුරන්න හරියන්න ඕන. එයාලා මේ සුද්දෝ දෙන්න ගයිඩ් කරන විදිය ගැන මට පට්ටම සතුටුයි... ආදරෙයි ඔය දෙන්නට...

What a wonderful experience & such a kind family. Blessings to you all. ❤
Elephants really big pets . You describ the nature of Sri Lanka very nicely . Enjoy it.
Elephants ain’t pets. They are wild animals who belongs to the wild.
I love your videos ,I feel I am there ,I have been getting an education about places little me has never been thankyou Hugs to both from Melbourne xo
16:25 and the cicadas screaming are a bit deafening, hey?
Yes, symptoms in your body are indicating stress/resistance. Life isn’t all about hustling…don’t forget to slow down ✨
Yay! Umbrellas! What a beautiful tradition of handing a candle to their guests as the arrive.

Very beautiful vlog
Pidurangala is unfortunately not similar to Sigiriya. Sigiriya is also a unique experience
I am so happy to see you guys have loved Sri Lanka. Your next destination should be Kerala.
Lovely video
Such a peaceful vibe from this episode. Love the nature there 😍 @culturedrift we shall visit this place too
Ah cool, I follow silkyrontheroad too + was wondering if you would cross paths!
After u visit temple i see u both very calm and silence . With white dress more charming
Beautiful. I would love to go and stay with this family. You guys just get better and better. Thank you once again. 😌

I wonder if a Sri Lankan went to Australia if they would get the same hospitality??????
NOPE....
