Hey there! Welcome to Visit Ceylon!
Hi! I’m Sameera Marapperuma, and this is my little corner of the internet, all about my amazing home country, Sri Lanka.
For ages, I’ve loved exploring every nook and cranny of this beautiful island. I started off with some pretty wild solo treks and tough group hikes to places most folks don’t even know exist! These adventures showed me the real, untouched magic of Sri Lanka.
Recently, my travels got even better! I’m now exploring with my wonderful partner, Mihiri Vasundara, who loves adventures just as much as I do. So, you’ll find guides from our couple’s trips, mixed with my continued hunts for those super secret spots.
Our Big Goal: Showing Off Sri Lanka’s Charm
Here at Visit Ceylon, we have one simple mission: to show the whole world how incredibly beautiful Sri Lanka is, and to help you discover it for yourself. We truly believe the best way to see a place is with tips from someone who lives and breathes it!
On our blog, you’ll find:
- Smart Budget Tricks: How to make your dream trip affordable.
- Easy Travel Guides: Practical info for all sorts of places in Sri Lanka.
- Fun History Bites: Cool facts about our island’s past.
- Local Culture Tips: How to enjoy our traditions with a smile.
- Yummy Food Picks: What to eat and where to find the best Sri Lankan dishes.
What Makes Visit Ceylon Special? Our Real-Life Promise!
Lots of travel blogs are out there, but Visit Ceylon is different because we’re all about real trips and super detailed guides.
We don’t just write about places; we actually go to them! Every single article here comes from our own adventures, giving you honest tips and useful info. Our coolest feature? We share the exact GPS paths (GPX tracks) from our hikes – especially for those hidden, challenging spots that hardly anyone ever gets to see. If we talk about it, we’ve explored it, often going to extremes to find places off the usual map.
I’m not a full-time traveller… yet! But every trip I take with Mihiri, or on my own, brings me closer to making this my full-time gig – sharing the wonder of Sri Lanka with you.
