Glamping: Our Luxury Camping Experience in Sri Lanka

Asia/Oceania · March 29, 2015

Glamping Sri Lanka

I’ve never shied away from “roughing it”. I love the adventures that come with low-cost accommodations, whether that be hostels, share houses or pitching a tent. But sometimes you just want a hint of luxury and I’ll be the first to admit that after long stints of backpacker travel, I do crave more upscale accommodation; […]

The Human-Elephant Conflict, Sri Lanka

Asia/Oceania · March 22, 2015

My Sri Lanka - Yala

You know what I realised on our recent trip to Sri Lanka? Elephants. I realised a whole lot about elephants. I’ve always loved this creature. They’re majestic and grand and just unlike anything else. On my first visit to India at age 19, I bought countless small elephant statues and figurines. I cringe to think […]

Where Cinnamon Comes From

Asia/Oceania · February 25, 2015

Cinnamon Sri Lanka

I’m a huge fan of cinnamon. I love it in cakes and buns, in apple pie and of course in copious amounts all over donuts. But I have to say I have never thought about where cinnamon comes from. Have you? This all changed when we visited Sri Lanka and were suddenly in a world […]

Taking to the Skies in Sri Lanka

Asia/Oceania · February 19, 2015

Cinnamon Air Sri Lanka

There are not too many people who can say they love flying. In fact, a lot of travellers often cite the actual “travelling” part as their least favourite part of travel. Sure, it’s exhausting and I too sometimes wish for the ability to click my heels and be in a completely different destination but, in […]

My Sri Lanka - Ella

To tell you the truth, I knew very little about Sri Lanka. My knowledge of its people, culture, history, nature and cuisine were all pretty much made up of a vague patchwork of news articles and distant conversations. Because of this, I hadn’t really considered travelling there. It just simply wasn’t on my radar. But […]

Hello Sri Lanka: First glimpse of Colombo

Asia/Oceania · November 16, 2014

Tuk tuks, Colombo, Sri Lanka

As soon as we set foot off our Sri Lankan airlines flight, we felt the comforting embrace of the tropics. The heat was instant yet hung low and thick, enveloping us in ever so gentle waves of warmth. We were lulled forward like the pleasant place between sleepiness and slumber, breathing in our new surroundings. […]

Life Update: A month in Sri Lanka & Moving back to Japan

Personal Musings · November 11, 2014

Cannibals Kayak House sea kayaking

It’s been an extremely fast paced October and start to November so we thought it was time to send you an update. Last month, we attended the Travel Bloggers Exchange (TBEX) Conference in Athens, Greece. TBEX brings together travel bloggers and industry representatives from around the world to talk about our profession and ways we […]
