“Some places feed your appetite. Others quietly feed your soul.”
When I was a schoolgirl, I had a bookmark that I treasured dearly. Not just because it carried an adorable Scooby-Doo illustration, but because of the simple words printed across it: “Enjoy the simple things in life.” For reasons I did not fully understand then, those words stayed with me, lingering quietly like an echo through the years.
Today, I realise how true they really are.
Some of our favourite journeys are the ones we never plan, those spontaneous detours, the unhurried escapes, and those “shall we just go?” kind of adventures. And almost always, one of the easiest decisions we make along the way is breakfast: pulling over at a humble roadside spot for a simple local combination that somehow tastes better when enjoyed under open skies and amidst the unpredictability of the road.
It may not be grand or luxurious in the conventional sense, but somehow, it becomes part of the adventure itself, the kind of memory that quietly settles into your heart.
I wanted to share this little piece of from my humble travel diary, not to celebrate extravagance, but as a reminder of the beauty found in life’s quieter moments on this island. Because sometimes, the simplest experiences leave the deepest impressions. They become the most genuine, most authentic encounters, the kind we endlessly seek.

Birders, this is your sign… Sri Lanka is calling!
There’s something truly magical about birdwatching in Sri Lanka. Perhaps it’s the way with the crack of dawn, how we awake to layers of birdsong. Sri Lanka draws the attention of every globetrotter, not just to enjoy what the island is known for, like the ancient cities and ruins, majestic waterfalls or the fame of its traditional palate, but also because of its plentiful wildlife. Our home is a paradise for bird watchers. An extraordinary tapestry of resident and migratory birds, many found nowhere else in the world.
And then there are the special encounters, the kind that stop you in your tracks and reach for your binoculars. Pay attention to this shy Brown-breasted Flycatcher, a winter visitor to Sri Lanka, which is a quiet delight for keen-eyed birders. Small, understated, and often tucked within shaded forest edges, its soft brown plumage and gentle demeanour make spotting one feel like stumbling upon a well-kept secret of the wild.
Then comes the unmistakable pop of colour and sound from the striking Red-backed Flameback, Sri Lanka’s endemic woodpecker and a true island treasure. With its oh so fiery golden-red back and dramatic crest, this merry fellow is impossible to ignore.
