We Had NO IDEA What To Expect in Colombo, Sri Lanka!

One of our favorite travel "tricks" is to find flights that have VERY long connections or layovers. We were on our way from our home in Amsterdam, The Netherlands to Jakarta, Indonesia, and found a flight that stopped overnight in Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka, and we knew we needed to do it!

We had never been to Sri Lanka, and did not know a lot about Colombo. Check out this video to see us on a whirlwind tour that includes the amazing Lotus Tower, one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in the world, and a few other fun surprises!

We definitely know we need to come back and see more of the country, but we are so glad we were able to get a small glimpse of Colombo!

✼ ABOUT US ✼
We are Nate and Katrina, two Americans living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see! Call us expats, immigrants, whatever... just call us already.

We balance work life with travel... as best we can! We would love to visit every country in Europe while we live here, and definitely keep a list of our global “must visit” destinations.

We try to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!
