Hi! I am Maya

Your Sri Lankan Adventure Guide

Three years ago, what started as a two-week vacation became my new way of life. Instead of following crowded tourist trails, I decided to explore Sri Lanka the local way – public transport, family guesthouses, and hidden spots that don’t make it to Instagram.

I’ve taken sunrise trains through tea plantations, found beaches where I was completely alone, and discovered ancient temples tucked away in jungle villages. The best part? Most of these incredible experiences cost less than $10 a day.

Now I’m sharing everything – exact routes, trusted contacts, and insider secrets that turn good trips into unforgettable adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are you actually living in Sri Lanka full-time?

Yes! I’ve been based in Sri Lanka for 3 years now, splitting time between different regions to keep discovering new places. I work remotely, which allows me to travel continuously while maintaining income.

3. Is it safe for solo female travelers?

Absolutely! Sri Lanka is one of the safest countries I’ve traveled in. I’ve never felt unsafe, even in remote areas. I always share specific safety tips and trusted contacts in my guides.

2. How much should I budget for Sri Lanka?

My sweet spot is $10-15/day for authentic local experiences, or $25-35/day for more comfort. I provide detailed budget breakdowns for every destination I cover.

4. How long should I stay in Sri Lanka?

Minimum 2 weeks to see the highlights without rushing. 3-4 weeks is perfect for the complete ocean-to-hills experience. 1-2 months if you want to truly explore like I do.
