    Hi! My name is Anuar. I’m a creative professional and entrepreneur currently developing sustainable tourism in Sri Lanka. Right now, I’m launching a new project — building an eco-sports resort on the edge of the wild jungle.

    I’m passionate about yoga, travel, music, media, and all kinds of active outdoor experiences. I love connecting with people from around the world and building meaningful, quality relationships. I’m always eager to learn something new and enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience

    It is in Sigiriya, a beautiful and historically rich area in Sri Lanka. Helpers can enjoy their time off by exploring the nearby sights such as the famous Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Pidurangala Rock, and Minneriya National Park, which is great for elephant watching. The area is surrounded by lush nature and is perfect for hiking, cycling, or just relaxing in a peaceful environment.

    There are small local restaurants and shops within walking or biking distance. Public transport is available, and tuk-tuks are a popular and easy way to get around. We can also help arrange transportation for day trips. It's a great place to unwind and experience authentic Sri Lankan culture.
