Welcome to Episode 53 of The Unravelling Travelling Podcast - Sri Lanka Itinerary!

In this episode we take you through what we believe is a perfect 3 week itinerary for visiting Sri Lanka. From the cultural triangle, to the hill country and down to the coast. Sri Lanka has so much to offer, and we're here to help you cram it all in!

We also chat about ways to make your trip shorter if you're pushed for time, and where you can spend more time if you're trip is longer. 

We then talk about the places that we believe stand out the most from our own travels in Sri Lanka, as well as where we believe to be a bit more overrated.

All this and so much more in the latest episode!

Welcome to Episode 52 of The Unravelling Travelling Podcast - Sri Lankan Roads!

In this episode we have an informative chat about the chaos and wonder of the Sri Lankan roads! Whilst not for the feint hearted, we had the most amazing time traversing the diverse landscape in our little tuk-tuk, and we're here with all the tips and advice for how to conquer them!

We also discuss the booking process of hiring your own tuk-tuk through Tuk Tuk Rental, who we think it is suited to, understanding your vehicle, and navigating yourself once you're on the roads! 

We also talk about what we learnt over our 3 months in Sri Lanka about the roads, the positive attitude from the locals, and what it is that made us love driving around so much!

We've also take you through our favourite moments from the whole trip, as well as a comprehensive break-down of all of our spending from our 3 months (with most of it going on food and drink). We also give a special nod to our incredible tuk-tuk; Alan Rickshaw that we got from Tuk-Tuk Rental that didn't put a wheel wrong in the 2500km that we had him for!

Welcome to Episode 47 of The Unravelling Travelling Podcast - The Tuk-Tuk Diaries - Week 8!

In this episode we discuss the eighth week of our three month Sri Lanka trip! We chat about the highs and lows of Hiriketiya, navigating the feeling of boredom that can creep into longer trips away, as well as some much needed down-time.

We also talk about finding ourselves at a crossroad, in which we had to choose between leaning into luxury or heading back to our roots and checking into a hostel. We opted for the latter and not only was it the best choice we could've made, but it also completely revitalised our trip. From skinny-dipping in the sea to karaoke parties and quiz nights - it's been a wonderful first few days at Divas Hostel in Ahangama.

We've also take you through our spending for the week, our favourite moments, as well as a rather wholesome therapy sesh!
