Naveen, with his pleasant demeanor and wealth of knowledge, became a guide to the stories and secrets of the land. His English, clear and articulate, bridged the gap between our worlds, allowing for conversations that flowed as smoothly as the road beneath us.
We spoke of the history and culture of Sri Lanka, of the places that held memories and the people who shaped them. Each story was a thread, weaving a tapestry of understanding and appreciation for a country that was both foreign and familiar. It was a reminder of the power of travel to broaden perspectives and forge connections that transcend borders.
