Chilling With Elephants in Sri Lanka
“Colombo? Where’s Colombo?” I said. “It’s the capital city of Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean immediately south of the mainland,” my partner replied.

The ethical rethinking of travel
I am a follower of all things Travel and Adventure, my eyes light up at the discovery of a new flight route to Armenia, A camel trek in the Western Sahara or a Windsurfing trip in Naxos. The thought of the unknown is what drives my spirit of adventure, I leave scribbles and notes in diaries about trips and ideas far into the future, even if they are not viable or I never embark on them, but each idea is what inspires and motivates me to keep taking steps to find what is over the horizon.
