About Christiane
Discover Authentic Sri Lanka!
I've been living in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, since 2011—as the only foreigner in town! This unique experience pushed me to learn Sinhala and fully integrate into the local culture. Over the years, I’ve gained deep cultural insights that most travelers, and even expats based in Colombo or on the south coast, rarely get.
To share my knowledge and insider tips, I created this website/blog. Running it takes a lot of time and effort, so if you find my content valuable, I'd truly appreciate a small coffee from you. Every little support helps me keep this project alive. Thank you! 😊
