Sri Lanka
Would you like to travel and experience Sri Lanka as locals? I had a trip to Hikkaduwa in Sri Lanka and enjoyed hospitality of a Sri Lankan family.
Sri Lanka is the paradise on earth with 26 national parks teeming with wildlife, wonderful beaches, surfing, tropical fruits and mind blowing ancient places. The earliest human remains found on the island of Sri Lanka date to about 35,000 years ago (Balangoda Man). The majority of the population is from the Sinhalese ethnicity, while a large minority of Tamils have also played an influential role in the island’s history.
Besides the charming tourist attractions, there are also the poorest and most vulnerable lives especially in rural areas.

Myanmar – Inle Lake
In western Shan State, you will find picturesque Inle Lake, famous for its floating villages and gardens and the unique way of life of the local Intha people, with their living communities based entirely on the water.
The lake, which measures 22 km long by 10 km wide, and sits in a valley between two mountain ranges. Being here feels like you are in a different place than the rest of Myanmar: villages and towns across the lake, wooden houses are built on stilts and fishermen steer their one-man boats with a characteristic rowing style, wrapping one leg around their oar.

Ireland Dublin
A long weekend travel to Dublin in February, and things to do in Dublin in 3 days.
Dublin is known both for lively atmosphere and historical scene. The city offers a lot to see, still it is remarkably small and intimate. A self guided walking tour does not need a lot of preparation and this is the best way to discover Dublin. The best sights are situated in a comparatively small area. O’Connell Bridge and Ha`penny Bridge are located in the central of Dublin.

Alicante Province
Day trip from Alicante to Benidorm, Wine Tour and Altea
There are plenty of places to visit around Costa Blanca region. Benidorm is located in the province of Alicante, one hour north on Mediterranean cost. Benidorm has most skyscrapers in Spain, therefore called as Spanish Manhattan. It has the most high-rise buildings per capita. It has been a tourist destination within Spain since 1925, when its port was extended and the first hotels were built. Perhaps, the real “boom” of Benidorm as a coastal resort did not happen until the 1950s, when it became a famous summer destination. Today there are more foreign tourists than Spanish tourists.
