From one traveller to another

Sri Lanka

Where can you go from a sunny tropical beach to a cloud covered

highland plateau; from an arid desert to a dense rainforest in

just an hour or two. Or find an ancient temple in the heart of a

modern city; and traditions from thousands of years past, blending

effortlessly with 21st century life. The diversity is breathtaking.

There’s no place on earth quite like Sri Lanka - ‘my little island’.

Our StoryHaving been well and truly bitten by the travel bug, Vajira Wijesuriya – our

founder and CEO, had a bright idea. “Why keep ‘my little island’ to myself” he

wondered; exploring the length and breadth of it, and experiencing the incredible

magic of our nation’s charms. Why not give similarly ‘infected’ beings a chance

to discover it: travel like he did, and get to know what others don’t – to find those

treasured moments that last a lifetime. And, so began the story of ‘My Little

Island’ through sharing his stories and photography, to tempt everyone and

anyone from anywhere to come and discover, for themselves, this paradise isle

he is proud to call home.

Our HistoryVajira had travelled the world over, but realised that in fact, he hadn’t seen and

experienced enough of his own country. So, he took 3 months off, hopped on his

double cab and made a trip of a lifetime. He wanted to see ‘my little island’ as

he called it, in its ‘every day wear’. To focus on what’s beyond the surface, what

others don’t often talk about – and there was a lot of it. Hanging out with the

locals in different towns and getting info from the Department of Archaeology,

he gained a lot of insight into what’s really out there – beyond the standard

guidebook territory. Those hidden beaches, unseen jungle trails, untouched

mountain ranges and the teeming wildlife made this island more of a paradise;

and being pocket sized it hardly took anytime at all to get from one to the other.

And to top it all, the relaxed way of life, the beautiful, warm people, and the

mouth-watering meals - made him want to explore this pearl of the Indian Ocean

even more; and share it.

‘My Little Island’ was created so you too could experience our country in the

same unique, unforgettable way. To make you fall completely and utterly in love

with Sri Lanka is our goal. And, we know you will.

Our Team

Although the initial trip was a solitary venture, now Vajira has under his wing a

young and energetic team who are driven by the motto “get you to fall in love

with our little island as much as we do, and make you want to come back, again

and again” and to show you around our island home and all its treasures. And

of course, we want you to have a good time discovering our country and our

people, so we’ll make certain that you do.
