Traversing Sri Lanka To The Ends Of The Earth

I had rather intriguing encounters with the wild growing up. I’ve had a Kinderjoy stolen by a pink faced monkey, straight from my palm and if I was being honest, I was rather petrified when it happened. A couple of years later, on a safari ride in Wilpattu, our jeep was chased by a wild elephant and it was quite a ride out of the forest. These experiences left a long-lasting fascination in me, which I believe are rare and should be cherished for a lifetime. Our third issue illustrates the quiet grace captured by our island’s earthy treasures, from its wildlife, scenic landscapes, escapades and from what the experts have to say. Like nature’s footprint engraving nostalgia around every corner, every adventure and discovery in Sri Lanka is a souvenir we carry with us in our hearts as we traverse the island. Dear Reader, have you ever had a mystical encounter with the wild? Whether you already have, or have yet to experience it, may this issue inspire your journey.
