As an Island nation with a rich history like Sri Lanka, our most popular sites usually consist of our natural and historical attractions and as such, get most of the attention from travel bloggers, local and especially foreign. However, while this is justifiably the case, this is also ignoring the modern luxuries that Sri Lanka has to offer and paints a more primitive picture over our presence on the internet.
Wandering Unicorns, a travel blog run by the adventurous couple, Chathri and Achintha, uses their platform to promote the multitude of luxury hotels that Sri Lanka has to offer. In a quick interview with them, the two let us in on their story.
Q: How would you explain your blog to new viewers? How do you introduce yourselves?
A:Hi! We are Chathri and Achintha, two travel enthusiasts from Colombo, with full time jobs in the corporate sector, and we have spent the last three years documenting our local and foreign travel adventures on our Instagram page, @wandering_unicorns, with the main purpose of promoting luxury travel within Sri Lanka.
Who’s Chathri? I am the one who creates all the content and make sure everything is perfect before I post it on our blog. You can say I’m somewhat of a perfectionist. I am also an extreme foodie who happens to be working for the largest Industrial catering company in SL.
Who’s Achintha? He is the guy who constantly worries about how he looks in pictures. You can say he knows a thing or two about photography as he always gets the angles and the location right. Also, he can’t resist dogs and cats and basically all types of animals.
