For a travel photo of the week. I wanted to share my experience and my trip to Sri Lanka. I had the chance to go this past October and I was completely surprised by this fabulous country. Sri Lanka for me wasn't a first thought, it was just an add on to a trip to the maldives. So it was somewhat of an afterthought. And once I got there I was just so happily surprised at how great this country is. A little bit of background on me

Wow, this country looks epic. It's definitely not one I think of often either. You know, I hear of it and I can understand what it might look or feel like in comparison to the surrounding areas that I know about. But just hearing you talk about it, and especially hearing you talk about being able to do safari or nature shells or the beach and just seeing your photos, I'm like, yes, I want to go there. Maybe even host a retreat there. Who knows?
Hi, marley. You would love it here. You would absolutely love it. And I have to say, one of the best yoga classes that I've ever, ever, ever been in was here in Sri Lanka. I just left you a picture of the yoga deck and how it was just overlooking the water. It was the most incredible setting, and it was incredible. It was the best instructor I've ever had. He was great

But beware of the leeches. You should definitely carry salt with you. If one gets on you, don't rip it off. Take some salt, sprinkle it on top of the leech and it'll easily slip off. Trust me. If you rip it, its teeth will be left in your skin, causing an infection. I'm speaking from experience here
But I agree with the salt. I've heard this before, so great tip to share here. Thank you again for keeping the conversation going and I wish you more and more travel

Yeah, it can be a hit or a miss, because sometimes a place is on someone's list, right? Like Thailand. And then they're like, a big yes, but at the same time, I'm like, if everyone's doing them places like here, Sri Lanka is, like, such a random, yet exciting idea. So thank you. And thanks for sharing that photo
