🙏 Aubowan , I’m Tush! 
👋 Hi, I’m Tushanga Herath, but most people simply call me Tush. Born and raised in the heart of Sri Lanka, I’ve carried a love for travel with me since childhood. Over the years, I’ve explored every corner of this island paradise—from the misty mountains of Ella, to the golden beaches of Mirissa, and the untamed wilderness of Yala. 🌿🏝️🐘
✨ That passion inspired me to create “Travel w Tush” and “Winter to Sri Lanka” a way to share the true magic of Sri Lanka with travelers from around the world. I’m not just a licensed Area Tour Guide—I’m a friend, a storyteller, and someone who loves turning every journey into an unforgettable memory. 🌍❤️
