Ella Town

Hi, I'm Viraj Dias! I live in the breathtaking hill country of Haputale, Sri Lanka, surrounded by nature and my beloved dogs. My home is not just a place—it's an experience. With a big, warm family and countless relatives around, we welcome travelers with open arms, offering them a glimpse into our rich culture and way of life. Tourism is our passion, and while we host plenty of guests, I also love connecting with people through Couchsurfing and Workaway. For me, it's not just about hospitality—it's about sharing stories, exchanging knowledge, and making lifelong friends. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay, explore, and feel at home, you’ve found it!

Hello!.. I'm Praza ! I'm from Ella Sri Lanka

CURRENT MISSION "We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting." (Khalil Gibran, The Prophet) ABOUT ME I am a person with a huge curiosity. I prefer solitude instead of wasting my time with persons I have nothing in common. I am always planning my next trip, even if it's going to be in six months. http://www.travelingauthentic.com is my travel website/ blog, however you call it. (undergoing some huge rebranding lately, so probably you won't find the latest version) Be Welcome profile: https://www.bewelcome.org/members/alpinclick Professionally, I graduated from the faculty of architecture in Bucharest. I defended my Ph.D. in cultural tourism within historic centres. I also have a degree in travel journalism and one as a tour guide. Launched my first travel book : "Balak! Balak! - Six weeks in Morocco". I am the first certified Travel Coach in Romania, but I work with people worldwide as a Transformational Solo Travel Coach.
