  • 🇱🇰 BALAPITIYA, SRI LANKA - I decided to spend a day with a fisherman at the Madu River in Balapitiya: I went with him on his narrow boat at sunset and sunrise and it was an incredible experience. At the end, after seeing his house and meeting his family, I decided to give him a big tip.

    WHO AM I?
    Hello and welcome! I'm Ely.
    Many years ago I changed my life and decided to follow my passion, not my pension. My goal and mission in life has always been to inspire people to be brave, follow their passion, open their minds and discover the kindness of other people and cultures. Here I show you the life of real locals, away from the tourist spots.

    Even $1 is worth like millions for some people because this is tough time for most of the people due to the inflammation. People don’t get jobs and lack of works so people do anything for foods. Thank you for your kindness, love from 🇱🇰❤️
