Not everyone is looking for an epic adventure. Half of my clients are adventure-seeking culture aficionados and the other half are hardworking families looking to gather up their little ones for some once a year fun-in-the-sun. They want 1) Good food. 2) Great Beach 3) Excellent Service 4) Plenty of activities for the entire family to enjoy. @pjresortscancun is one of my go-to's resort options for this sort of family holiday. .

Polonnaruwa was once a thriving commercial and religious centre in Sri Lanka some 800 years ago. Comprised of several temple complexes, for three hundred years, this royal city was once the capital of both the Chola and Sinhalese kingdoms. .

As an anthropologist, I have a natural fascination with cultures be it modern, ancient and all those in between. Sri Lanka's Polonnaruwa was one of my favourite stops during my trip. This 10th century World UNESCO Heritage Site and the surrounding city was completely self sufficient, and exemplifies the King's desire to use every drop of rain to cultivate nearby rice paddies, and promote development. And like most ancient cities around the country, Polonnaruawa's meticulous plans have stood the test of time, and to this day, its original irrigation systems still nourish nearby paddy fields. Like most archaeological sites, it's recommended to hire a local guide to interpret the the sites significance. .

Staying in a quiet hotel or villa but want to experience a party atmosphere for the day? I love this concept at Angel Beach in beautiful Unawatuna. Grab your friends and book yourself a plush daybed at this exclusive beach club on it's own stretch of private beach. With rotating DJ's pumping the hottest hits, premium cocktails flowing, a beautiful rooftop bar and lounge and access to private parties, I had so much fun touring this property. This unique venue is also available to be rented out for your exclusive DJ event (rates are unbelievably reasonable - DM me for details!)

The A26 road connects Kandy with Padiyathalawa in the Ampara District of Sri Lanka. This highway is not for those with a faint stomach - With 18 consecutive hairpin turns, it is often a dizzying ballet of sputtering tuk-tuk, motorcyclists, colourful Leyland buses, pick-up trucks, tea-harvesters, and the odd farm animal, you might find yourself stopping at one of these lookout points to give yourself a moment, and to admire lush tea plantations above and rolling mountains below. Even this tuk-tuk driver stopped to take in the views❤❤❤

Dinner for one😊
After nearly 24 hours of travel, this was me, jetlagged but eagerly awaiting my first official Sri Lankan meal at @thenotaryshouse - It was a 7 dish parade of curries, sambals, exotic salads, and Sri Lankan delicacies. I sipped my spiced Ceylon tea, and gorged, wide-eyed and content. I haven't talked much about the food in Sri Lanka, and probably because I was so overwhelmed with the diversity, the aromatics, the arsenal of spices, and the sheer abundance felt at every meal. It's hard to know where to start, but I do promise to dedicate a number of posts my new favourite cuisine.

Many thanks again to @ArTravele for this epic fam trip❤ .

You've probably seen these dreamy views from this boutique resort splashed across the Insta pages of all of the top "influencers", and I assure you, it's as spectacular as it looks. But more importantly, this serene place, the Santani Wellness Centre, is a dedicated space for healing, meditation, recovery of all varieties and a place to nourish the body with a balanced menu. The rooms are beautiful, but are designed in a minimalist somewhat, industrialist aesthetic, so not a lot of fuss. The use of digital devices is discouraged, and instead, guests are encouraged to get serious about wellness. Guests explore their concerns with onsite Ayurvedic doctors who then carefully craft health programs, tailored to each guest's wellness needs and incorporate a variety of elements including massage, yoga and meditation, all to be experienced will at the resort. .

Spread out over 58 pristine acres of rice paddies, vegetable and herb gardens and a lake, Ulagalla's private chalets was home when I was touring Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle. With over 800 sq feet of contemporary and classic Sri Lankan interior design, and my very own private pool, I definitely felt spoiled😊

Fun and interesting fact about the premises of the Temple of Tooth Relic in Sri Lanka's last Kingdom, Kandy: This site has been declared as the ‘World’s first-ever Eco Religious Site'. Not only is this Sri Lanka's most important and beloved Buddhist temple, but is said to be plastic and polyurethane free. The temple sustained damage from terrorist bombings in 1989 and 1998, but each time, was restored. .

Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa truly is the epitome of exclusivity. These beachfront villas are modern, chic, and perfect for small groups. Rent a few rooms, or buy out the villa (for a verrrry reasonable rate) and enjoy butler service, a convenient location in the heart of Mirissa and daily dips in Sri Lanka's longest salt water pool, as well as access to one of the most beautiful stretches of beach

"A world within a world", the iconic Galle Fort Hotel is a World Luxury Hotel Awards winner and UNESCO World Heritage property located in the capital of the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. The walls surrounding the Old Fort date back to 1588 when the Portuguese first arrived and was fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century.
Here's a little peek at my stay in and around this luxury boutique hideway😍

I've never been comfortable seeing a man holding a gun. Two men holding hands, embracing, kissing, seeing this has always felt as natural to me as breathing. But that's because I was brought up to love, to accept love in every form, to celebrate it on all platforms. Religion, bigotry and hate stand in the way of acceptance, but not on THIS page❤🌈❤🌈❤ #culture #culturetravel #culturegram #quoteoftheday #travel #equallove #equality #lgbtq #queerlove #loveislove #allloveisgoodlove #travelgram #instatravel #traveler #travelforgood #openheart #openminds #explore #explorer #human #humanity #humane #earnestgaines

"The Uga Experience unites Sri Lanka’s magic with the warmest hospitality of her people." .
.
I had the honor and privilege of being hosted by a number of Uga Boutique properties across Sri Lanka. These beautiful boutique escapes are perfection in their design, location and of course, service. Chena Huts offer pools in every villa, the largest villas in the region and they're completely family friendly. The proximity to Yala National Park means regular game drives, elephant encounters and if you're lucky, a leopard spotting or two!

I named my company "Storied Lands" because the places we go have a history, and we become a part of it in a small way. The Galle Forte Hotel is an award winning boutique hideway in the heart of Galle Fort. It's a lovingly restored 18th century Dutch mansion with exceptional service, beautiful rooms and of course a fantastic story of how it came to be.

I've been gorging on Sri Lankan cuisine for the past 11 days, and when I say gorging I mean I should really be swimming back to Canada because I've packed on an extra 10lbs😱🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ From the moment I sat down to my very first Sri Lankan feast, after 25 hours of travel, I fell absolutely in love with the flavors and knew my waistline wasn't going to make it out unscathed. The team at @artravele have had some fun watching me try all varieties of Sri Lankan favourites, and as a parting gift, took me to #CulinaryCeylon - A 7 course journey through Sri Lanka's love affair with food told by this amazing human pictured here, Glen. If you come to #Colombo and don't experience Culinary Ceylon, I'm not even sure you can say you've been here at all😂❤😂

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Galle is where the Portuguese first debuted in Sri Lanka in 1505. The historic fort passed through many hands including the, Dutch, the British only to finally be returned to the Sri Lankans after independence.
