SRI LANKA | The Hospitality I Will Never Forget 🇱🇰

If I have planned my last video for the Sri Lanka series - it would never end up being this powerful video. What an amazing way to finish my trip by showing you the real hospitality of Sri Lankan people - the way they treat you, welcome you, offer you things, and say goodbye is just incredible. This video is proof and representation of Sri Lanka's humanity and as well as a little back story of the country with old stamps, coins, and antique items.
I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed filming it.
