I stayed in Kandy for a couple of days. There are many accommodation options here: hostels, guest houses and hotels. The people are nice and willing to help. There are many cafes and restaurants there, so the food there is inexpensive. In xmass time the city was full of tourists.

About me

I love nature, fresh fruits, laughter, dancing, spontaneous adventures and the kind of company where silence feels as good as a joke. A little wild, a little quiet. Curious and trusting the life, open to the unexpected and always happy to follow where the moment leads ✨
