  • 🇱🇰 KANDY, SRI LANKA - I said goodbye to my host family and took an amazing train ride from Kandy to Colombo. I was supposed to stay in Sri Lanka for a week, just for the time to make a new visa to India, but while on the train I felt an incredible joy to be there: the kindness of the people and the lush vegetation made me cry of happiness. That's when I decided to change my plans and stay in Sri Lanka for a whole month.
    That was the best decision I could ever take.
    A huge thank you again to Lalanga Homestay family in Kandy for their generous and memorable hospitality. You can find them on Booking www.booking.co... and Airbnb abnb.me/YEvNWN... (this is not a paid partnership, just my honest opinion)

    WHO AM I?
    Hello and welcome! I'm Ely.
    Many years ago I changed my life and decided to follow my passion, not my pension. My goal and mission in life has always been to inspire people to be brave, follow their passion, open their minds and discover the kindness of other people and cultures. Here I show you the life of real locals, away from the tourist spots.

    Like to give you a piece of advice to be safe in Sri Lanka during your next visit if ever.
    Never listen to the people along the way you meet that trying to ask you to show interesting places or services.
    Avoid at all cost there are people appear as guides that waiting to scam foreigners like you..
    Only get assistance with licensed guides..
    Ask the fare before riding any taxi or else use pick me or uber..
