STUCK in Sri Lanka (No fuel!) 🇱🇰
I was on a roadtrip from Arugam Bay to a mountainous area in Sri Lanka called 'Ella'. Since there are fuel shortages in Sri Lanka at this time, I was struggling to get enough fuel to take me where I needed to go! This led me down my classic adventurous path of figuring it out as I go. No photography really in this video, but it was a bit of behind the scenes of me going from location to location... Still I hope you enjoy!

If you feel like making another attempt at it, I recommend using a glass of water and a straw, use the straw to blow bubbles into the water and as you do, attempt to breath in through your nose whilst keeping the bubbles going, it feels difficult initially but you'll eventually crack it - then onto the Didgeridoo!
