Documenting our life, travels, family and the story of Poppy, our stillborn son.
Our story started in China in 2014 where we met, and we lived 3 years. Since then, we have been to more than 42 countries together.
I am French and Tina is Serbian. We are now based in Strasbourg, France. TheDailyPackers is our travel blog where we share our experience travelling, wrote guides and reviews. Slowly it also became a place where we share some of our life.
Beginning 2023, we also started vlogging on UA-cam as we wanted our son Poppy to see how we lived, travel and saw the world.
The 25 November 2023 should have been the happiest day of our life, sadly it marked the hardest days of our life. On that day our perfect baby boy, Poppy, was stillborn.
Vlogging and blogging is just a passion at the moment. I still have a full-time job and Tina is focusing on developing an online Yoga platform and studio.

Hi, if a person cannot swim, they have life jacket. That way he/she can still snorkel from the surface.

It was the "Rehendhi Villa"
I met the same girl at Male airport last month, she works for iCom tours. she is the one lead me to the speedboat. 😀

Hey bro Very good video W I am in digurah now I want see wich agency go with And how cost Very explain video
There isn't many tour agencies on the island. The easiest would be to ask your accommodation or host, they would be able to organise whatever you need. Or check on google based on what you want to do directly.
❤❤❤
❤️🤗
if you dont like anything dont come to maldives frenchy, negative video👎👎👎👎👎
If you wanna see the beauty of Nuwara Eliya you must travel to Horton Plains...Then You will be getting the nice view points, Farms,waterfalls... Staying in Nuwara Eliya city is a waste of time..
We think so too! We have seen the city and didn't like it but are really curious about Horton Place. We wish we had more time to explore it.
What was the cost for one person for hotel of 3 stars and like food and transportation? Would you say its llikee Thailand or like India or expensive ?
In Kandy, the accommodation we stayed at for 1 night cost 10 168 Rupees with dinner. The private car from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya cost 16 000 Rupees. Afyer it depends how you travel. You could make it cheaper.
Sri Lanka is Expensive 😊 One room is cost 10$ to 1000$.
@@eshikaudayanawanigasekara Damn, I thought within $600 you could finish a good 7-8 days trip including food, hotel and transportation.
You could reach that if you use public transportation and stay at guesthouses.
@@thedailypackers Thank you So much for the info on the video.
Great video Alex and Tina.
Thank you. Glad you like it 🥰
How can i contact the speed boat when i arrived to airport
We organised everything through our accommodation as it was the same price. So when we arrived we just went where they told us to and we the people from the speedboat was there.
@@thedailypackersthank you so much
ALEX and TINA hi hw u welcome to Srilanka take care enjoy.
Thank you 😊

✌🏻❤️
I'm searching your reason as not recommend of your accommodation in maafushi. What happened?
Value for money wasn't good. Black mold in the bathroom, communication after checkout terrible, tour organisation not really great. Those are some of the reasons.
Ok
👍🏻
We are staying 4 nights, is this too many days?
Not at all. We stayed 3 nights and we would have loved to stay one more. So, 4 sounds great! 😍
@@thedailypackers Thank you for sharing your video. It was helpful. I appreciate your response, thank you.
Do you walk to the sea bank? We will stay at the Seaside.
If you stay at Seaside Dhigurah, the best is to use one of their free bicycle. You can ride to most of the place on the island. To get to the sea bank, go all the way until the road end, let your bike and then walk a few minutes to reach the tip of the island.
@@thedailypackers Thank you. I appreciate your response.
@leeyang1624 you are welcome. Glad we could help 😊
What company did you use to travel from Maafushi to Dhigurah?
Any of the company in Maafushi is offering to drop you in Dhigurah at the end of the whale shark tour. We asked a few of them there as well as hotels and they were all offering it.
Love from 🇱🇰
❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. I would love to visit dhigurah but I have one question: We are planning for a 2 days visit to dhigurah and then to Maafushi. Is there a a speed boat that goes to maafushi or we should go back to Male? Thank you in advance.
There isn't a speedboat between Dhigurah and Maafushi. You must first go to Male airport and then to Maafushi. However if you do it reverse you could take a whale shark tour from Maafushi where they will drop you in Dhigurah. That could save you some transportation cost.
Wonderful narration, don't know why your channel is not growing but stay assured that you have one honest subscriber now. Best wishes to you both
Thank you very much 😊 it is nice to read your comment and we are glad you liked the video.
Which restaurant maafushi serve beer?
All of the restaurants we went to were serving beer but only the Alcohol free one.
Great video and can you get a ferry to Dhigurah?
Yes, at the moment, from Velana International Airport to Dhigurah, there are speedboats at 11:00 or 16:30 from Saturday to Thursday. On Fridays at 10:00 and 16:30. One way one person 60usd.
