In this episode of Trip Tales, I sit down with Kate, who shares the incredible story of her family’s spontaneous two-week adventure in Sri Lanka—a destination that wasn’t even on her bucket list but now holds a special place in her heart. What started as a surprise meet-up with her brother, who was on his own world travels, turned into an unforgettable journey for Kate, her mom, and her daughter.

Join us as Kate takes us through the magic they encountered including breathtaking beaches, majestic mountains, an awe-inspiring safari, a visit to an elephant sanctuary, the sacred golden Temple of the Tooth, and the heartwarming kindness of the Sri Lankan people.

This episode is a testament to the beauty of unexpected adventures and the hidden gems that can turn into life-changing experiences. Whether Sri Lanka is on your radar or not, Kate’s story might just inspire you to add it to your travel bucket list!
