Results for Ella People

Ella is a picturesque town surrounded by mountains and valleys. It’s a hub for a wide range of activities in Sri Lanka and because of it’s higher elevation it remains warm but comfortable year round and offers some respite from the rest of the country which can get stiflingly hot in season, or see a lot of rain out of season. Almost every person I met travelling in Sri Lanka remarked Ella was their favourite place they visited during their trip and I have to say it was also mine. The temperate weather makes Ella a great place to do lots of activities each day -you can go hiking, enjoy one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, view Nine Arch Bridge, swim in waterfalls, go caving and swim in underground cave pools, take yoga classes, cooking classes, visit temples, and venture a little further for safaris. It’s an ideal spring board between Colombo and the South/East Coast and Yala National Park. The best way to arrive in Ella is by train from Kandy or Nuwara Eliya, but as one of the most beautiful train journey's in the world, you will need to book your train tickets in advance... my advice is to go for 2nd class- find out why, and how to book them in the "What To Do" section of this guide. Read on for all my recommendations on where to stay, what to do and where to eat for a FABULOUS time in Ella!

This Costa Rica waterfall guide is the result of over 1 month spent exploring the country, dozens of hours of planning, and my in-person experience. It covers 13 waterfalls in 3 general regions of Costa Rica: La Fortuna, Santa Teresa, and Dominical/Uvita. These falls range from the country’s most popular waterfalls to many of my secret hidden gems (where we were the only tourists with the whole falls to ourselves!!) and even one waterfall where you can sleep behind the falls! The guide includes an fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to each waterfall. It lays out detailed instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to each of the waterfalls. It’s mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone! I have hand-crafted this guide specifically for adventure travelers (like me!) and feel so confident you will have an amazing trip with this guide by your side 😏 As a part of your purchase of the guide, here are a few promises I can make you: 1.

I will always call out the ones I have not done yet and provide you the exact resources you need to experience them yourself! 3. These guides are completely transparent! You can be sure that all unfiltered opinions I provide are my own 🙃 If I include any sponsored information or affiliate links, I will be sure to call these out directly.

I can’t wait to hear & see your adventure! Feel free to send me a DM with your feedback & tag me in your photos! @katbennettphoto

A once sleepy port on the coast of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is now a world-famous holiday destination, not to mention, one of my all time favourite cities. There is such a variety of things to do here, but the many tourist traps ensure that it is not the easiest place to navigate (without some guidance). Despite being voted Tripadvisor's "Top Destination" for the third year in a row, I still meet people who tell me that they have only seen the inside of the malls and their resort. But don't worry! I'm here to save you from that limited experience. Especially because you've probably travelled quite far to get there. I grew up in the UAE as a child and I moved back there in my twenties, so I feel I know Dubai like the back of my hand. I love bringing people to this part of the Middle East and showing them that there is so much more than shopping, luxury hotels and private beaches. And even better, it's not really an expensive destination...! Below you'll find an introduction to this ever-evolving city as I walk you through the areas you are going to want to see and the activities you just cannot miss! Here is my honest guide to Dubai.

This is a mini guide to Andros Island. I created this guide for people who may be Island hopping and want information about a specific island but not my whole 2 week itinerary guide. Since you may be mixing and matching islands, this will help you to plan for Andros! Andros is an incredible and definitely still lesser known and discovered Island. Andros still has villages with that cyclade charm that you're looking for, but it also has so much more. There are hiking trails, incredible beaches, great restaurants, wonderful people, and truly stunning sunsets. This guide will mostly include things that we personally did while in Andros, where we stayed and where we ate. It will also include future ideas and things I wish we'd had more time for on our stay. Things we'd surely do if we returned.

Finding a place to grab coffee, eat lunch, or enjoy a nice dinner while traveling is hard enough as is, but when you’re in a big city, the options are truly overwhelming. While my guides are full of one-of-a-kind restaurants for certain neighborhoods, this Essential Eateries map includes the top few Boston-specific chains that will help you eat like a local on the go. Not only that, but I include a backstory of each chain, my top menu suggestion, and what I consider to be the best location to visit.

Just pull up this map when you’re out and about to see where the nearest spots are when your tummy starts rumbling! Get access to ALL the Boston area locations of 14 regional chains, including: ☕️ 2 Coffee Shops 🥐 5 Bakeries 🥡 5 Fast-Casual Restaurants 🍽️ 1 Table Service Restaurant 🍦 1 Dessert Spot Worried this info is out-of-date? Fear not! I'll be updating this guide every six months for accuracy, as well as to add new favorites I find along the way.

I love inns because they’re often nestled in cute small towns, are usually close to nature and they typically have more character than your average hotel. During covid, it also helps that they have a smaller room count. Your travel dollars also will really count here, as inns employ more people than Airbnbs and have more of a connection to the local economy. Make a point to pop into as many other small businesses as you can nearby whichever inn you choose to help these little economies recover! Here’s a guide to the benefits of each: 🌊 - seaside 🛋 - decor 🍣 - food 🏔 - hiking 🖼 - arts and culture Know of other inns that should make the list? Fill me in: abby@thatch.co

I am constantly surprised by how much there is to see and do in Boise. I think many people feel the same way as people have flocked to move there since the Pandemic. My husband is born and raised there so we visit regularly! It also has a special place in my heart as it is the city where we got engaged!

Some of my favorite places in the area between Florence and Siena known as Chianti. It's not just the name of the wine, but also the area which produces it. Greve is the "capital" of the area, not all the small towns and villages have town halls. Some are what's called a "borgo" a group of homes and perhaps a church. Fun to explore the small off the beaten track places as well. There are so many lovely bars and shops to have simple snacks if you don't want a large sit down meal. People watching is one of my favorite pastimes. Letting it all soak in. The 222 highway is often popular with bike riders as well and there are no bike lanes, so drive carefully, especially on the weekends. Many of the small towns have a market day once a week. Where the mall comes to you. It's always fun to visit a weekly market. More than just food! Clothing, shoes, purses, fabric, kitchen supplies and more. Often a Porchetta truck.

Northern Lights are a phenomenon best seen in person. The destinations, to do so, are limited on when and where you can see these amazing skies. Winter season is the predominant time-frame. Alaska, for many Americans, is a great option - no passport required. The itinerary provided is an overall trip outline that highlights some main attractions of this rugged land. We also list some ideas of things to do in the towns that you visit. Most towns have "Visitor Information Centers", where you can find detailed information about local events and markets as well as current available activities. This itinerary maps out a great route from Anchorage north to Fairbanks, with the goal of maximizing the opportunities to witness the Northern Lights.
