Sri Lanka

Although it’s becoming more and more popular, Sri Lanka still feels like a hidden gem. It’s the perfect travel destination for both honeymooners—especially when paired with the Maldives—and for backpackers looking for something different after Southeast Asia.

I spent three weeks exploring the island by tuk-tuk (yes, I drove it myself!), and it was one of the most unforgettable adventures I’ve had. If you’re considering doing the same, start with my Sri Lanka tuk tuk travel guide.

Not sure when to go, what to pack, or if it’s even the right destination for you? I’ve got guides on the best time to visit, what to wear, and exactly why Sri Lanka is worth visiting.
