Hand this guy a bottle of water, some sunscreen, his GoPro, and his gimbal from @evogimbals and he’s ready to set off exploring! . Ok, he might think he doesn’t need the water or the sunscreen... but I like to keep up hydrated and healthy! . We had an awesome time trekking through neighborhood, gardens, and expansive tea plantations to get to this awesome waterfall today. Nuwara Eliya wasn’t on our original plan for Sri Lanka but we’re thrilled we made the stop! . What’s a place you ended up loving that wasn’t on your original itinerary?

Lost in a world of tea! From the highlands of Malaysia 🇲🇾 to the hillsides of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 we love to explore the endless fields of green tea leaves and learn about how it’s cultivated from the fields to your next cup of tea 🍵. It is such a fascinating and difficult process that requires many hands and (today) many machines to make the perfect cup of tea 👌 . If you’re interested in tea, checkout a tea factory on your next visit. We just toured the @halpeteafactory in Ella, Sri Lanka and tried touring the factory at @bohteamalaysia but were there during a holiday when they weren’t doing tours - oups!

Sitting, thinking, feeling content with where life has brought us. From a freshman high school retreat, to college dorm, to traveling for the first time in Chile, to almost a year of backpacking through Asia together... if you would have told either of us back at the beginning of it all 10 years ago that we would be where we are today... well we would have literally LOL 😂 but life works in mysterious ways especially when two forces find that they can grow in unbelievable ways together. The #adventuresofpitbear are far from over, and you’ll want to see what this story has in store!

Stop 🛑 So many, us included at times, race to a destination only to snap a few photos and head back down the path. Where’s the enjoyment? Enjoy the moment. Don’t let it pass you by with nothing to show but a picture for Instagram (well ok you can take that too 😉). Take the time to sit down and just listen 👂 soon you will discover new sounds and smells, you’ll get to see the train 🚂 go by, meet that nice couple who you connect with right away, and will create memories that are more than just snapshots in time. Enjoy the journey, enjoy the destination, but most importantly just enjoy the moment!

He swears he was straight, but I have the proof right here 😋🤥😆 Missing our morning shenanigans on the beach in #arugambay who else likes to do headstands or yoga 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️ on the beach?

What are you celebrating today? We are big on celebrating things. Small wins, birthdays, anniversaries, engagement (in this case). It’s important to take time to recognize and cherish the happy moments in life. So, even though we are traveling we decided to take a mini vacation from our vacation and spend a few days at a nice beachfront resort in Arugam Bay. Lots of time spent swimming in the pool, walking down the beach, and just enjoying each other’s company. We are feeling recharged, reconnected, and ready to explore Sri Lanka for one more week before we take off for our favorite city once again, Kuala Lumpur.

What are some routines that make you happy? After months of the Go-Go-Go of being on the road, exploring every corner of Asia that we’ve set our eyes on, one of the biggest challenges for me is finding time to fit in my mindfulness practices and enjoying being present in the moment. - Daily morning meditation, yoga practices, breath work, journaling, and reading are just a few ways that I like to take care of myself. But as we travel it can be tough to try and fit everything in. It’s easy to skip out when we have a plane or bus ride to catch. When we’re somewhere new and I don’t feel like I have the space to relax (queue hostel dorm!), or when we’re simply off exploring and are drained when we return. - When we were trekking the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal I was on a roll with my daily meditation until we got into freezing temperatures and it was far to cold to sit still! But I promised myself I would get back into my routine because I know from experience the impact it has on my happiness and thus the happiness of those around me. So, for the past month I’ve been getting up before everyone else and treating myself to a morning meditation before I start the day. I find myself happier, more mindful, and less easily frustrated.

Loving our jungle hideaway! We partnered with @pikanitetonight to score this awesome spot at the last minute 🙂 Check them out for big discounts on properties all around Sri Lanka - we’ll def be using them for all of our last minute bookings in Sri Lanka! - We’ve been enjoying morning walks on the beach, writing postcards on our porch, afternoon surf lessons, and some amazing local cuisine. This place totally has a sleepy surfers getaway feel to it, perfect for spending a week just chilling and exploring this awesome section of the Sri Lankan coastline. - Hope you don’t mind a little sponsored content from time to time we are always excited when companies want to work with us and only choose to work with companies that we value and think other people will too! Plus, it’s what helps us travel the world and share our adventures with you 🙂 E X P L O R E #arugambay #arugam #arugambaybeach #arugam_bay #arugambaysurf #surfsrilanka #arugambaysurf #pikanitetonight #srilankahotels #srilankatourism #srilankatravel #srilankatrip
