#traveltip #srilanka In the middle of Sri Lanka is #sigiriya rock , a must see on your #travels. This #unesco site is 200m and 1200 stairs but worth every ounce of effort for the view . The seat of power after being shifted from #anuradhapura this rock was a palace then Buddhist monastery until being abandoned . The grounds and #architecture will shock you in their #beauty as much as the natural formations . Take your time and bask in the ingenious designs used millennia ago. #cheaptrick drive in to the tour bus entrance to avoid being hassled and the exorbitant ticket fee. #safetravels #erinawol #Openheart #adventure #climbing #stairs #beautiful #aweinspiring #traveling #instatravel #wanderlust #womantraveler #solotraveler #threestepsleft #view #ontopoftheworld (at Citadel of Sigiriya - Lion's Rock, Sri Lanka)

#traveltip #srilanka #anuradhapura is a #sacred #buddhist complex that dates back thousands of years and has been reused by religion and rulers alike. Rediscovered by explorers a hundred plus years ago this massive temple complex has been stripped of overgrowth and returned to a beautiful state . Rent a #bicycle and head into the grounds early to watch the sunrise. #cheaptrick all Buddhist temples are free to enter from one gate , look for where the local worshippers are entering to avoid paying the outrageous ticket prices. #safetravels #erinawol #Openheart #buddha #travel #womantraveler #wanderlust #instatravel #SEA #traveling #travelgram #adventure #amazingworld #backpacker #canadianabroad #discover #explore #epic #free #holy #history (at Anuradhapura Sacred City)

#traveltip #srilanka This #island is aptly named the island of jewels but not just for the precious #gemstones that are found here . Sri Lanka is one of the rare Equatorial countries relatively unscathed by massive #tourism yet still boasting a modernized society and #amenities . The true jewels of this country are the #breathtaking moments, people and scenery you stumble upon. Do yourself a favour go #explore , you may just find a recycled shipwreck turned into a fishermans house . You may just find your #instamoment . #safetravels #erinawol #Openheart #travel #solotraveler #womantraveler #traveling #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #ocean #amazingworld (at Beach Marawila)

The #universe gives you all that you #need . Sometimes if you #listen you will hear it speak to you in what some people call #coincidence. #poppycock I say . The universe is made of fields that carry energy or vibrations or mass ( It's more complicated but take a deep breath #physicists ). When you are tuned into a certain field you will notice resonance with other things residing in that field . @aly5ia gave me a drink coaster before I left on my travels pictured above . I had always loved Ravens and crows for their intelligence and mischief and found more and more as I travelled they would flock around me . I find a murder everywhere I go or they find me - regardless I am always reminded those that seem #abhorrent are likely #misunderstood . Be a #raven , #beautiful in its darkness , #smart enough to drive others mad and always #free. #spiritanimal #quantummechanics #travel #travelgram #solotraveler #wanderlust #womantraveler #solotraveler #backpacker #blonde #boobs #bedsheet #awareness #shamelessselfie #freedom #twistingsciencetospirituality #makessensetome #waitingfortrolls (at Nigombo , Sri Lanka)

#traveltip #india Want to be in a #Bollywood #movie ? If your ethnicity looks anything but South East Asian your pretty much set . How you ask? Head to the #gateofindia or #coloba area of #mumbai , walk around or sit pretty much anywhere. The recruiters will find you . Be prepared for a long day of sitting pretending to be drinking or doing whatever for little to no pay and cool story. #lightscameraaction #safetravels #erinawol #bombay #travel #foreigner #solotraveler #wanderlust #womantraveler #blonde #picoftheday #travelgram #instatravel #Openheart #stories #crowds #whitegirl #tattoos (at Gateway of India)

#travelsecret #india Courtship in India is a strange thing for #westerners. Understanding that men and women do not interact except for as required or supervised is #mindboggling to say the least. Touching, cuddleling, kissing are not acceptable between two unmarried people. What you encounter then is a strange paradox of a place known to everyone as a date place where a sort of cultural amnisty exists. #couples will "escape" and have moments of what we would consider normal #PDA that are unacceptable on the street or anywhere culturally. In #mumbai thousands of couples of all ages will walk out on the rocks at #lowtide keeping their backs to the beach . There they will kiss, snuggle and talk with the society understanding that no one bother them . No one would allow me to photograph them face on in fear of reprisal. #culture can only control #humannature and teenagers so much . #safetravels #erinawol #Openheart #love #wanderlust #picoftheday #travelgram #solotraveler #cultureshock #travel #rebels #conservative #instatravel #romance #bombay #kiss #cuddles #cute (at Mumbai, India)

#traveltip #India When in #amristar take the time to visit the #wagahborder for the #ceremonies . Every day these two countries in a display of machoism and pomp that the #ministeryoffunnywalks would be proud of close their borders for the night . A large female only dance party is followed by yelling , parades and a intricate choreographed March . All of this culminating in a quick but uplifting handshake by both sides right on the border line just as the gates close . A great insight to the #politics of the region and #mustaches . A must see ! #safetravels #erinawol #canadianabroad #travelpics #instatravel #pakistan #wanderlust #travelgram #solotraveler #solotraveler #military #picoftheday #travel #Openheart (at Wahgah Border)
