Ayubowan, Vanakkam and Welcome! My name is Amenthi from exotic Sri Lanka. I’m a humanitarian worker by day and a Colombo butterfly by night. I enjoy meeting with small groups of friends and flying solo. Apart from sundown cocktails at the epic Galle Face Hotel Terrace and social coffees at the many local cafés in Colombo, I enjoy exploring Sri Lanka’s wildlife, culture, heritage and love journaling it all. A single mom of two I enjoy showing my kids the splendour of Sri Lanka’s richness, be it the hills of Nuwara Eliya or the whales and sea life that roam our oceans. Am I a bit of a dreamer? Yes! When you work in aid development, you have to be.

✔️ Colombo born and raised

✔️ Travels across Sri Lanka for work (& leisure)

✔️ Will travel for wildlife. Botswana is my ultimate bucket list destination!

📍 Colombo, Sri Lanka

Get to know Amenthi

  • Sri Lanka’s history, culture and resilience. Having lived through the hard times in Sri Lanka, I am always floored by how strong we are as a people. How developed we have become without forgetting where we came from. Yes, I love it!   

  • Wading in the turquoise oceans of the east coast of Sri Lanka, at the time completely serene and uninhabited. Flat seas all the way to the horizon, it was easy to whale and dolphin watch here too. One of my most memorable stays.

  • Canyoning down a waterfall in Kitulgala, Sri Lanka. I am sickeningly afraid of heights, but braced it all and made it down a 100 foot waterfall! One of the most freeing, exhilarating moments in my life.

  • Because no guidebook or travel blog can match real, honest, and up-to-date advice from someone who knows the destination intimately and puts your interests first. Just one consultation will save you hours of pre-trip angst and research time and give you all the confidence you need to hit the ground running.

  • Our Advisors are savvy, knowledgeable women with unique perspectives on their destinations. From sommeliers and pastry chefs to art insiders and modern historians to sun-seekers and nature lovers, they bring deep local expertise to every trip. And, as women, they inherently understand the importance of safety, authenticity, and connection while traveling

  • Every Advisor in our network is carefully vetted through a multi-step verification process to ensure she’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable, and uniquely equipped to help independent travelers plan their dream trip.

    Want to become one? Book a 15-minute 1:1 call with our Community Manager to get started.

  • Advisor consultations happen in a private 1:1 WhatsApp chat, facilitated by SoloTrvlr. You’ll be added to a chat by our SoloTrvlr number (+44 7457 411378) up to five days before your scheduled consultation. Your Local Advisor will join the chat at the scheduled time, ready to help.

    From there, it’s all about you—ask questions, get advice, and discuss whatever you need for your trip. There’s no set structure; the session is completely collaborative and tailored to your travel plans and interests.

    Once your hour is up, the chat will close. Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a personalized Field Guide + Map featuring all the intel and recommendations from your session, plus a few extra tips from your Local Advisor.

    Have more questions afterward? Just DM us on WhatsApp and we’ll help you book additional time.

    If your privacy settings block group chat invites from unknown numbers, you'll need to save our number (+44 7457 411378) to your contacts or receive our invite via WhatsApp DM.

  • You can ask anything travel-related, from whether (and where) it’s safe to walk alone at night to practicalities like where to buy tampons (and how to ask for them!) Need dining advice? Your Local Advisor will share her go-to neighborhood spots and steer you to a hyper-local Italian cooking class taught by a beloved nonna. She’ll also be quick to jump in and let you know if something you’re considering doing is overrated—and tell you what to do instead.

  • No problem! If you need more time with your Local Advisor, just contact us via WhatsApp or by email and we’ll help you book a follow-up session. 

  • Our Advisors do their best to keep their calendars up to date, however, if you would like to book further in advance (i.e. upcoming months where an Advisor hasn't added her availability yet) or none of the listed times work for you, please email us at support@solotrvlr.com and we’ll work with you to find an alternate time.
