Exploring VIBRANT Sri Lanka for the First Time (Colombo, Kandy & Ella)

Sri Lanka is NOT what I expected! I'm so glad I got to spend an amazing few days exploring the southern half of this island paradise, visiting Colombo, Kandy and Ella. Here's a look at what I got up to! Find Lindsay from the Frugal Frollicker here: frugalfroli...

Why hello there Sri Lanka!! I had no idea how beautiful it is there!

[@travelforphoebe]

Isn't it amazing?!

[@InvestedAdventure]

I was pleasantly surprised during my visit! Beautiful landscape, warm and hospitable locals, and good food too!

[@erichouser2008]

Sri Lankans are one of a unique brands of people and a remarkable island. They are very hospitable, kind and most are highly talented and educated in their respective fields who work all around the world. Despite their size of the country, they have created quite a lot of headlines around the world in the fields of science, sports and many other areas and positively contributed to the development of humanity. If you go to the ancient city of Anuradhapura you can get a glimpse of the legacy of their ancient technology which had earned them the name "masters of irrigation tech in the ancient world" ... I believe you know that they are in the list of the most generous countries in the world and also the largest eye donor in the world. So I really have a huge respect to them, which made me visit Sri Lanka more than 7 times already. Much love to them from Frankfurt, Germany.

This is exactly the reason why it's been on my bucketlist. It's the kind of place where you'll embark on a safari, and suddenly, you'll be in the audience of a spectacular animal variety show. You've visited some pretty interesting spots, too. I just hoped, my travel dart would land soon in Sri Lanka. Haven't got any luck so far.

[@robertmagillold]

Such an incredibly beautiful place that you captured so well. Also, thanks for sharing that moment of clarity you found. You’re right-you can’t “know” if you’re on the right career or on the right path or with the right people in your life. Unless you experience life itself. And in the experience itself is where you find the right career, the right path, the right people. Yup, sometimes you need to change direction, need to change careers, need to change the people (you know this all too well). But, even in changing, you are doing the “right” thing. I’m going to use your analogy because it’s so on point. Can’t know what mint choc chip ice cream tastes like until you try it! Glad you enjoyed Sri Lanka (and thank you so much for not only THREE GMYG, but an extra long one!!!). Looking forward to seeing where you went next. Here’s wishing you all the best on your current travels and to enjoying this new and best phase of your life journey. And thank you for sharing-for what it’s worth, watching you these past months on this channel-I think you’re on the “right” path. 😊 Rob

I was born to a military family so I was fortunate enough to get out and explore from an early age, and that's something that has never gone away.
