I’m Sharmila Dayawansha
Chauffeur Tourist Guide
Organisation has always been my strength. I naturally focus on structure, clarity, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. In administration, I handle coordination and documentation with care, ensuring every detail supports the wider team. Over the years, I’ve learned that strong systems create strong experiences, and I take pride in contributing quietly but consistently to well-managed and responsible travel operations.

Little Bit More About Me.
Q. Describe Sri Lanka in 3 words.
Green, Authentic, Friendly
Q. Where is your favourite place to visit in Sri Lanka?
Kandy – the gateway to the central hills
Q. What Sri Lankan food is your go-to pick-me-up?
Prawn Fritters
Q. Why do you think responsible travel matters?
It helps protect nature and fosters respect for every culture. Travelling responsibly sets an example for others. When we make thoughtful choices, we inspire fellow travellers, businesses, and even governments to adopt more sustainable practices. Change begins with individual actions that ripple outward.
Q. What is your favourite part about working with Blue Lanka Tours?
The exposure to new experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. There is constant innovation in how we approach travel experiences. The leadership encourages continuous learning, and the opportunities are endless. There’s always something new to learn or create. It keeps the work fresh and inspiring.
Q. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
I would give people the ability to see the world from others’ perspectives, fostering understanding and empathy. Many conflicts and misunderstandings arise simply from a lack of awareness of others’ experiences and struggles. By cultivating the ability to truly understand different viewpoints, people can respond with compassion rather than judgment.
