Hi Out Of Office Crew! 🩷
A new day, and a new animal. That’s what living in Sri Lanka feels like haha. Just walked outside my office (aka a cafe) and spotted 2 monkeys!
Just the other day I saw a very colourful lizard, a snake, a big owl, and something that looks like a bear-ferret hybrid? I don’t know my animals haha, but I’m having a great time spotting them!
I do have some bad news regarding the Nomad Cruise.. I unfortunately had to cancel… 😭 I was so looking forward to it so much, but with the trip, and then some personal issues, I just can not go 😔
My plan was to go back to Spain in a week to get ready for the cruise, but instead I’ll stay in Sri Lanka and then go back to the Netherlands in a couple of weeks. If you're going, I know you’ll have the BEST time!
Now for some good news, I found some really amazing deals and jobs!! 🎉

Your Next Chapter Might Start Somewhere in Europe.
For some, travel means a break from everyday life. For others, it means working from a new place, meeting different people and finding inspiration along the way.
Fairvisit is a new Travel Tech platform from Aachen, Germany, created to help you discover places to stay across Europe. Every booking comes with a travel guide to the surrounding area, so you can find nearby sights, nature, public transport and local events in many regions. It's all about finding a place to stay and discovering what makes the place around it special.
We believe booking should be fair for both guests and hosts. Book through fairvisit by November 30, 2026, and receive 5% cashback on the accommodation price. Your stay must be completed by January 10, 2027. Find all details at https://fairvisit.de/en/cashback

👩🏼💻 Remote jobs & more
Also, this week I found some interesting remote job opportunities!
We celebrated 6 months 🤭 And yes, I know, I know, I said I don’t drink. But occasionally, when i have something to celebrate, I might have a wine. It’s called ✨Balance✨ (i think)
And I went on a little day trip to Galle, which is only like 40 min from Weligama. Very pretty place! ☀️
