Home at last from an amazing experience in Colombia! I would recommend to everyone the diversity of culture, food, and experiences. I will continue to share more about my trip over the next few weeks on Wellbeing Travel.

Last night was a bit challenging. My flight from Cartagena to Miami was delayed for 30 minutes. Despite having a "long connection time" of airline 2 hours, I barely made my connecting flight. Miami was chaotic due to the summer travel season.

Please, if you're traveling and have connections during the summer months, give yourself plenty of time. Ensure your baggage complies with all regulations and be prepared for additional security checks. Plan ahead to make your travel experience smoother!

Day 2 and 3 of my Ayurveda Health journey have been fascinating!
While I won't inundate you with selfies, imagine lush herb gardens and serene surroundings. Yesterday's detox treatment left me completely zoned out, and today, I delved into the unique Shirodhara experience, opting for a one-day session. I'll spare you the details (you can find those on my website later), but trust me, it's a journey not everyone may choose, yet the service, attention, and incredible food make it an experience to remember. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌿✨ "

🌿 Exciting Update! 🌿

As someone deeply passionate about Wellbeing Travel and continuously learning in the field, I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a captivating wellness session at the Sri Lankan High Commission on March 1st. Alongside representatives from Sri Lankan Airlines and Siddhalepa Resort, I delved into the world of holistic wellness practices, soaking in invaluable insights and knowledge.

In an unexpected turn of events, I was graciously invited by Sri Lankan Airlines and Siddhalepa Resort to join them for a transformative experience at their esteemed resort. I'll be embarking on an immersive week-long journey of Ayurveda and Yoga this April!

Join me on this exciting adventure as I navigate through this enriching experience and share the lessons I learn along the way. There's so much to discover, and I can't wait to share it all with you! 🧘‍♀️✨

Within the diverse spectrum of my travel business, today is dedicated to Wellbeing Travel.
Commencing with an Ayurveda session, Hela Wedakama, at the Sri Lanka High Commission in London, I’ll later venture into a site inspection at the Emory’s wellness sanctuary, Surrenne, opening in April. A day of wellbeing immersion, reflecting just one facet of my multifaceted travel offerings.

I truly enjoy embracing new experiences and learning along the way.
Let’s see what today brings ☺️
