Halfway through the year and it's been a pretty good year so far!⠀ I took my first trip to Asia #solo, started an exciting new job and I chopped my hair off (which doesn't seem as big as the other two, but trust me, it was 😂)⠀ Here's to the rest of 2019 being productive, progressive and positive 💪🏾

Part two in the #spillthetea series. 🍵 . If you're after a fancier tea experience, head to the Grand Hotel in Nuwara Eliya for some high tea - over 100 types - and interior design inspo. And then take selfies in the toilets because they're posh AF 💅🏾

Let's #spillthetea 🍵 Did you know that green tea, white tea and black tea all come from the same leaf? It's the process that they go through that gives them each a distinct flavour. I went on two tea factory tours in Sri Lanka, so I'm basically a connoisseur now. As an avid tea drinker, learning about the process and tasting various types of teas was one of my highlights of my trip. If you're ever in SL and are a fan of tea, head to the Oak Ray Tea Factory in Nuwara Eliya for some free tasting. Coffee drinkers, mind ya business 😘😘

I've been back home from Sri Lanka for a few days now and whilst it was my most rewarding trip, it wasn't my favourite solo trip. Lisbon is yet to be defeated, but SL has secured its place in second. The nature and the tea is worth visiting alone and the country has a strong, proud culture, but I got quite frustrated at times - mainly due to travelling around because 😬 - and missed the convenience of Europe. Though I wasn't affected by the attacks, the mood definitely changed and I'd be lying if I said I still enjoyed it as much, but I left safe and sound, so I have no right complain really. Some of Sri Lankans I met were still giving me tips on places I should visit and foods I should try; it was important for them to keep the spirits as high as possible. So, do I recommend going there? 100%! Overall I had a great time, I'm proud of myself for going SO out of my comfort zone and I'm glad Sri Lanka was my first solo trip out of Europe 👍🏾

Apparently you can't get good photos of yourself when you travel solo 🤷🏾♀️
