The post Sights to See in Sri Lanka appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>The capital city of Sri Lanka draws on elements of its Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial past. Here you can visit museums and markets, as well as indulge in Sri Lankan cuisine. Sample favorites like curry and rice, and hoppers. Lovers of the sport should check out the Cricket Club Café, and definitely have a cup of Ceylon tea.
Sri Lanka has a long history involving many kings. In the 5th century, King Kashyapa usurped his father King Dhatusena, taking his place on the throne. As he was an illegitimate child, Kashyapa was not the rightful heir and feared that his half-brother would return to take the crown. So what did Kashyapa do? He built an elaborate fortress. The Sigiriya, also known as the Lion’s Rock, features some of the oldest landscaped gardens in the world, as well as the ruins of the palace and citadel that Kashyapa built.
As legend goes, before the body of Buddha was cremated, one of his teeth was saved. The relic is now housed in Kandy, in what is appropriately known as the Temple of the Tooth. Buddhists from around the world come here to pray, and between the months of July and August, a colorful procession is held called Kandy Esala Perahera.

]]>The first thing you should do is prepare an itinerary for your trip. Now listen, we’re not saying that you should plan every single moment, because you want there to be room for spontaneity when you’re there. However, it’s always good to have some sort of a plan, and that includes having a good idea what you’re going to be doing there.
Another thing to look out for is what you’re going to wear when you get there. You should be taking the weather into consideration, as well as any events you may be attending, and social norms as well.
Finally, this should go without saying, but you’d better make sure that you have a place to stay when you get there. Some people love traveling by the seat of their pants, assuming that they’ll find a place when they get there. But it’s always best to be as prepared as possible, so make sure you handle this.

]]>Located on the Yucatán Peninsular in the southeast of Mexico, this area has strong influences from its Mayan heritage. The combination of Mayan and Spanish influences results in some unique and mouth-watering dishes that are quite different from classic Mexican cuisine. Corn tortillas are popular, and ingredients such as eggs, beans, cheese, and slow-roasted meat are used commonly.
This state in southern Mexico has a range of indigenous peoples and cultures which gives the area a unique sense. The state capital city of Oaxaca de Juárez is often referred to as Mexico’s food capital and is well worth a visit to sample the exciting offerings. Both mole and mezcal are popular in this area, with many delicious variants of each to try. While in the area, Oaxaca cheese is another must-try food.

]]>One of the magic ingredients of hostels is actually not the hostel itself, but the people staying in it. From fellow travelers to friendly receptionists, hostels are filled with the energy of shared experiences and human connections. You can swap stories in the common room, find cool partners to explore the city with, and maybe even form lifelong friendships.
Travel guidebooks are okay and all, but nothing beats insider tips from those in the know. Both hostel staff and other travelers are a goldmine of local knowledge. Get the best recommendations for hidden gems, authentic eateries, and unique adventures you won’t find in any tourist brochure.
Hostels aren’t just places to crash at the end of the day—they’re miniature communities of like-minded people. Whether it’s group outings or spontaneous jam sessions, there’s always something going on. Plus, hostels often organize activities and tours, which is super useful.

]]>Firstly, pick a destination that’s not too far away (max three to four hour flight). That way, it won’t take precious days to recover from jet lag. Secondly, choose somewhere that’s not too overwhelming. You’re not going to be able to see it all. A city break with the possibility of day trips to a couple of other places is ideal.
You don’t want to spend the week schlepping your luggage around. Plus, it’s nice for a hotel or Airbnb to start feeling like home before you have to pack up and leave again. That’s we recommend staying in a maximum of two places on your week-long trip.
With only seven days, it can be tempting to pack in a different activity every hour to make the most of your time. However, vacations are all about RELAXING. Make sure you leave time for a leisurely stroll and a pastry, a day at the beach, or simply time to curl up in a café with your book.

]]>First up, the classic Fedora hat. With its timeless charm, the Fedora adds a bit of elegance to your wardrobe. Its wide brim provides excellent sun protection, making it a must-have for sunny destinations. Plus, it suits both casual and formal outfits, making it versatile for various occasions.
Is there anything more classic than a good old baseball hat? For those who are influenced by American culture, a baseball hat is one of the most common ones you’ll see people wearing. It provides protection, it’s stylish, and it can truly embody the identity of the wearer in many occasions.
If you’re looking for a little bit more adventure, consider a wide-brimmed Safari hat. It’s designed to withstand the roughness of the great outdoors, offering plenty of protection from the elements. It has a rugged look, which gives you a certain “explorer vibe”—if you’re into that sort of thing.
