    Hi folks, NatNomad here. An ex-Buddhist monk from Laos with a big dream of seeing the world. Throughout my time for over 10 years being a monk I kept asking myself this one question "What life is like out there beyond the monastery?" And because of this question alone made me take a big step in 2014 when I finally say goodbye to my wonderful monastic life.
    And now I'm doing what I've always wanted to do. Though I am not quite sure if I can say that I'm living my dream but you know what I'm loving my new adventure.
    Please make sure to stick with me so we can explore new exotic places together.
    Let the adventures begin!
    Thanks so much for your support.

    How exciting to be in Sri Lanka! What an adventure getting to the hostel and checking in lol! You were very lucky to have such nice people helping you. I'm glad the weather was a bit cooler there for you. 😊

      It was fun but can be stressful without the help from the driver in the middle of the night. Actually the hostel is in the center just that it is hiding in the corner. The staff is very helpful too😊

    I am shocked to hear very few people of Laos know about Sri Lanka. But majority Sri Lankan s know about Laos because its a Buddhist country. Also nice to hear the story about Buddha statue and introduction of Buddhism to LAOS.
    HAVE A WONDERFUL STAY ❤️

    I admire you. Your ambition and desires to travel to different places and countries being able to see the world 🌎. You are brave. I would be alittle hesitated and fearful not knowing. Fear of the unknown. Follow your dream & desires, you have one life. Enjoy & explore. I have never heard of "Colombo " thanks for showing of a map of where you flew to. The country looks nice. So is Sri Lanka a country of itself? Or is it part of India ?I will continue to follow you and the videos you produce for us. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure with you. Khop Jai lai lai nong.

      Thank you always for following me and my adventure. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I thought some change of scenery would be nice after a while.
      Yes, Sri Lanka is a country. It has a rich history and culture. From the 16th to the 19th century, it was colonized by three rulers. First by Portuguese, then the Dutch and British. The country gained independence from the British in 1948.
      The country is well known for its beautiful beaches and coastline, scenery, colonial architecture, tea and gemstones.

      I think he's quite genuine. It is probably the misunderstanding. I should've just asked him before I jumped into his tuk tuk, haha. But it was nice to see it
