real experiences

★★★★★

I went on the gals who travel Sri Lanka trip in February and it was the most incredible trip of a lifetime. Sri Lanka is the most beautiful country - it was literally tropical paradise! My favourite moment in the itinerary was the elephant safari through the national park and then we spent the night glamping in the jungle!!! We literally went to bed with the sounds of the jungle surrounding us and then woke up to noises of monkeys and nearby elephants. The whole trip is magical from start to finish but that part felt extra special <3

Also worth mentioning that everything was made super simple for me, all I had to do was book my flights - the rest was all handled!! It was so nice to go to a brand new part of the world and just relax and take it in, rather then having to plan everything myself!!
