My sister recently returned from her honeymoon in Sri Lanka and stayed for a few days in the country’s central highlands at an incredible resort called Ceylon Tea Trails. The resort is made up of 5 different bungalows that all belonged to British tea-planters during the 19th century. Each bungalow has preserved its colonial-era architecture and is uniquely decorated with period furnishings. Guests staying at these bungalows enjoy a slower pace of travel, soaking in the vistas of Castlereagh Lake and verdant green tea plantations. Of course, tea is a huge part of staying at Ceylon Tea Trails. The property is surrounded by its own tea fields where the tea is picked and processed in a factory. Guests can also take a tour of the factory to learn how tea is made from leaf to cup. Afternoon tea is served every day and each house has a full staff including your own butler, who is there to arrange anything and everything for the guests. The food and drinks are incredible at Ceylon Tea Trails. The chef at her bungalow created custom menus for the guests that featured tea-inspired recipes, like tea-infused chicken, and Sri Lankan classics, like rice and curry. This hotel has a personal and understated luxury and charm that is truly one-of-a-kind!

The journey itself is often as rewarding as the destination. Long train rides through rolling hills, scenic road trips along winding highways, or even flights that cross oceans provide time for reflection and anticipation. During these moments, travelers often find european motorcycle tours contemplating not only the places they are headed to but also the person they are becoming. The movement from one place to another can feel like a metaphor for personal growth—a reminder that life, much like travel, is a journey marked by discovery and change. In these in-between spaces, there is a profound sense of possibility.
Riding a dune buggy in Dubai was the highlight of my trip! The thrill of driving over the dunes was unbeatable. The staff provided excellent safety tips and guided us through the adventure. The sunset view in the desert was mesmerizing. It was an experience I will never forget and would love to repeat.
