I am Dinesh, a traveler like you and the founder of this blog. Born and raised in Sri Lanka, my life has been an endless love affair with our landscapes, our culture, and our people. With over a decade of travel and writing experience, I aim to reveal Sri Lanka that I know and love, going beyond the tourist hotspots to introduce you to the hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
