Sri Lanka has a population of around 22 million (2020) and is a multinational state, home to diverse cultures, languages, and ethnicities. The Sinhalese are the majority of the nation's population. The Tamils, who are a large minority group, have also played an influential role in the island's history. Other long established groups include the Moors, the Burghers, the Malays, the Chinese, and the indigenous Vedda.
Sri Lanka's documented history goes back 3,000 years, with evidence of prehistoric human settlements that dates back at least 125,000 years. The earliest known Buddhist writings of Sri Lanka, known collectively as the Pāli canon, date to the fourth Buddhist council, which took place in 29 BCE. Also called the Teardrop of India, or the Granary of the East, Sri Lanka's geographic location and deep harbours have made it of great strategic importance, from the earliest days of the ancient Silk Road trade route to today's so-called maritime Silk Road
For the last 15+ years, my focus has been on luxury travel working with Fortune 500 executives, athletes and winery owners as well as specializing in family vacations, honeymoons, babymoons, group travel and customized vacation planning. I regularly take training courses and, of course, I travel often, from far-flung destinations like Europe & the UK, Kenya, Peru, Australia, New Zealand to closer-to-home locations including Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico, as well as throughout the United States.
It’s extremely important to me to stay on top of travel trends, up-and-coming destinations, new builds, and renovations of treasured hotels throughout the world so I can match you with your ideal hotel, villa, cruise, or tour vacation.
