Little Bit More About Me.
Q. Describe Sri Lanka in 3 words.
Unique, Marvellous, Authentic
Q. Where is your favourite place to visit in Sri Lanka?
Anuradhapura – a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its gigantic stupas, sacred sites, and the holiest living tree.
Q. What Sri Lankan food is your go-to pick-me-up?
Traditional Sri Lankan rice with spicy curries
Q. Why do you think responsible travel matters?
Because it helps preserve both culture and the environment for future generations. When we travel responsibly, we also make a positive impact on the communities we visit. Supporting local businesses, respecting traditions, and minimising waste all contribute to sustainable development. It’s about giving back to the places we visit, not just coming home with memories.
Q. What is your favourite part about working with Blue Lanka Tours?
Being able to serve clients with honesty and genuine care. Everything we do is client-centric and is centred around creating meaningful experiences for them, from the smallest detail to the bigger picture of their journey. I take pride in knowing that our client-centric approach not only meets expectations but often exceeds them. It’s fulfilling to see travellers leave with smiles and memories that reflect the heart we put into our work.
Q. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
I would make healthcare universal. Illness should not prevent people from pursuing their dreams or living dignified lives. Equal healthcare would improve life expectancy and quality of life worldwide.
