Watching this video has made me reminisce about Sri Lanka and all of it's beautiful places! Great edit guys, i'm glad I could have been a part of it!

[@surede]

How is Ukrainian treating you mate 😜

[@FloriTravels]

What a beautiful country. After staying in Thailand for more than 2 years I feel like it's time to visit another country. Sri Lanka is at the top of my bucket list.

[@Sheneller]

Yeah you'd love Sri Lanka if you enjoyed living in Thailand

[@Sheneller]

@rajdeep I am Sri Lankan.

[@kalharamewan]

Really appreciate your efforts to boost the tourism in Sri Lanka. Always wondered why Sri Lanka isn’t a digital nomad hotspot yet considering lower living costs and other things. 🤔

[@amalsspicetrail7223]

You Guys are doing a great job to boost Tourism in Sri Lanka.. good Luck and Bless you both!

[@Sheneller]

Thanks a lot!

[@wishwasvlogs969]

Thanks for promoting tourism in Sri Lanka. Much needed thing

[@AmuthanVethanayagam]

Thank you very much Sheneller for being inclusive.This video should be given a lot of publicity. This video is comprehensive and has the capability to attract a lot of travellers and digital nomads to Sri Lanka. Good job on all your efforts!! Hope the govt uses this video! All the best!!

[@preetbatra4002]

Hi @Sheneller....thank u for all beautiful videos . kindly guide about current covid situations of Sri Lanka as we are travelling with kid in December.

[@Sheneller]

Hi Preet, Covif-19 is currently being recordedeat around 720 cases per day. the situation does keep changing as seen around the world. so kind of hard to predict even as far as a month out.

[@dileenijayatileke5712]

Thank you Shanelle for advertising my country so very well. It's short n succinct so as to entice the digital nomad. I've lived in the UK for over 22 yrs., n have visited my motherland 10 times. Hoping to go again next year DV - God willing. All the best in yr future endeavours to boost tourism to our beautiful island. God bless, Dileeni Berkshire

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Your videos are reallllyy good! I'll be watching many more on Sri Lanka, as I want to come there next month! I'm not sure if I understood you, did you say Weligama and Mirissa for the tropical towns on the southern coast for surfing? And how is the wifi in those small towns? Thank you for all the info in the video!

[@amandadesilva4452]

Hello again from UK 🇬🇧. Still hoping to come to Sri Lanka next year with amma who is 85 and a bit frail. All depends on the Covid situation and her health. Hope you will be able to do more videos of other parts of Sri Lanka soon.... We have been watching videos of walking tours of London with all the Christmas lights... Beautiful like yours but your commentary is great and the aerial shots are fabulous.😃

[@Sheneller]

Hi Amanda! that is so great to hear! hope you'll do get to come. unfortunately everything is so uncertain. but thankfully things are looking like they will get better. Many thanks for the compliment :) so happy to hear we are of international standards :)

Sri Sanka is a perfect country to find good work. Are there any IT and computer courses and computer jobs in Sri Lanka?

Yes there are plenty of courses. it is a booming industry

[@dominic6055]

I'm waiting for more details about the digital nomad visa that Sri Lanka is about to officialize, hopefully give young people a way to get a residence permit without needing big capital ($250k) or the requirement of a job or sponsor.

[@Sheneller]

Yeah hopefully they’ll come up with something attractive for the younger nomads too. Most counties are only focusing on the established nomads. Let’s hope they see your comment! 😉

[@dominic6055]

@@Sheneller hahaha well I've been dreaming to relocate in SL and the only thing stopping me is the residence permit, hopefully they read and agree with my comment ;)

amazing ❤️👊🏻 i think Bandarawela and Haputhale should include anyhow nice. 🇱🇰😍

[@bharath316]

It would be a great boost for economy and tourism if Srilanka becomes the next Digital nomads hub after Chiang Mai & Da Nang. But how's the inflation situation there right now? I've been wanting to conduct a motorcycle tour there but keep postponing looking at the prices of basic commodities. Do you think it's a good time for tourists to visit in the next 2-3 months?

[@Sheneller]

Hey there yep it definitely would be a great additional stream of tourism for Sri Lanka. There is quite a bit of inflation in Sri lanka atm due to the currency crisis the country has had since tourism was completely shut, now that it is gradually recovering it should get a lot better. Either ways from a tourists point of view. you'll probably never get to experience Sri Lanka the way it is today raw and beautiful!

Such a good vlog!!

[@Gfangmanifester]

Hello, hope you answer this question. I'm a digital nomad. But I also sell handmade items online. If there was making physical products that would be my hobby. and make money too Is this still called a digital nomad? Can I still legally hold a tourist visa? If I only want to stay for 3 months

[@RecoveringOverthinker]

Hello, thank you for this video! I am thinking about visiting Sri Lanka in January and trying to set up my base there for at least 2-3 months. The thing is that I am a beginner digital nomad and I've heard that Sri Lanka is more difficult for getting around than other, more well established digital nomad places. What do you say, would you recommend it to someone just starting out as a digital nomad?

[@Sheneller]

Hey there! That really depends on the nature of your work as a digital nomad. If you can manage on your own. Don’t need too much of a nomad community to get started then Sri Lanka is great. If not chiang mai is probably the best for a nomad starting out. It’s where we started out too. And the community there is awesome. Not sure if they’ve recovered after covid though. In terms of quality of living. I think you’ll have much better quality here in Sri Lanka than in chiang mai cause there is so much to do and see within a very close proximity. All the best!!

[@dhammikaperera4059]

Rosetta stone how many languages does it supports? Does it support Chineese ?

[@Sheneller]

Yes it does support Chinese. Do check it out from our link in the description🙏🏼 You’d be supporting our channel too! 🙏🏼😊

Eastern Coast you have missed out Passikudah

[@timothyappleseed2986]

I'd like to know about the locals who provide products and services to the rest of the world from there over the internet.

[@timothyappleseed2986]

Namely, there is a woman there who is doing some art work for me. I just wonder what her lifestyle might be like. I imagine she lives in the city. She only charges $10 for what someone in the States might charge a couple hundred dollars for. I wouldn't be able to afford the artwork if I had to pay American prices for it. And so I really appreciate the opportunity.

[@timothyappleseed2986]

I just wonder if she appreciates getting work from me or if people doing work like her think westerners should pay extra.

[@sampathranaweera6766]

Woow, so good. Thank you for your effort 🌹🌹🌹🌹🍳

Unfortunately no sure who the best provider is! It will be between dialog, mobitel and airtel tho!

[@malindachamika]

[@lutheruthayakumaran1982]

Learning the language helps. But knowing just a little brings its own problems. I found this out in Bavaria, where you say Gruss Gott or Guten Tag and they start talking to you high flown German which I can't make any sense of. I would rather just say Good Morning, they know I can't speak the language and accommodate for that.

[@Sheneller]

Interesting, I guess it comes down to how long you spend in the particular country.

[@s.herrmann9407]

Great 😊

[@jandroop3521]

What about work Visas? Is that possible for nomads?

[@twaggish]

Have you ever extended your visa in Sri Lanka? Is it possible? Difficult?

[@Sheneller]

Hey! It can be done within the day, its not exactly hassle free but I know loads of people who get it done in a day ☺️

[@kooithap6088]

Flashy video unsure whether it was to promote the language app or the digital working life. SL is a great country but this videos don’t address topics like animal cruelty,clearing of jungles for hotels to name a few.

[@Sheneller]

It's to promote the Digital nomad visa to encourage more tourist to visit Sri Lanka. Check our previous video for what you are referring to.

[@charlesbronson21]

I am an Indian and I would like to work for a month in there if possible while enjoying the beautiful SL. ❤️

[@IlyaG-sq8dw]

As someone who stays in Sri Lanka for 2 months for the first time and did see some other parts of the world, I will say what talker didn't about the internet. It's the worst I saw in a long time (since the year 1998 with DSL cables probably), absolutely not reliable - I am speaking about 4g - that's the most convenient way for remote work and it is not suitable for some of IT nomads, depends on the amount of data required to pull and frequency of web meetings.

[@IlyaG-sq8dw]

Or imagine your job involves constant learning and a lot of sources are from video files. Let's say you have a schedule of investing into work 4 hours a day, now imagine that half of it the video will be buffering, as standard quality for Sri Lankan mobile 4g is 480p and below, above it will buffer (480p is not enough if the video was filmed in high res desktop resolution, the text will not be readable). So yes, if you're the one who doesn't have to interact with people over web meetings or to work with a huge amount of data expect to sit near the computer 2x more due to slow connection.

[@jeyapalsomaseharan5310]

[@haniakw1740]

Hello! I’m considering to move in Sri Lanka for about 3 months or more. Can you please give me piece of advice what is the best option to find good long-term rental offers?

[@Sheneller]

Hey there. It's best to come down stay in an Airbnb for a week and explore the local area for a good deal that you are comfortable with. If not it's a little hard to find long term accommodation online atm. When do you plan coming down?

[@Sheneller]

Hey. I’m not sure if you e realized. But this video is speaking to a foreign market who earn in usd and will fine it extremely reasonable to live in Sri Lanka. This will in turn help the 85% of people who are suffering atm due to the current foreign currency shortage in the country.

[@kamlaky]

@@Sheneller Yes I do get it but try to expose the sitation in a way that the majority of Sri Lankans do not have the luxury like you to show off. Get the real picture exposed.
