Author Biography

They previously ran the award-winning Sri Lankan restaurant Elephant Walk in Hampstead, London, for eight successful years.

Driven by a shared passion for travel and an intimate knowledge of Sri Lanka's history, heritage, and landscapes, they began curating bespoke luxury holidays - first to Sri Lanka and the nearby Maldives.
