After trying to get out of the creative block while feeling a little bit under the weather this week, I have managed to finish editing Jaffna's episode. This is by far, the most difficult to put together, yet a very special episode for me to film and edit. I was blown away by the raw feeling Jaffna has given me due to its long history of civil war and how it made me fall in love with Jaffna.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveler and RUclips creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveler, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.
My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher-my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on RUclips, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.
Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on RUclips.

Hello everyone,
I hope that you have had a great weekend so far. I have been feeling unwell and stuck with a creative block this week making it more difficult to edit Jaffna episode. This is by far, the most difficult videos to put together from Sri Lanka series, yet this is a very special episode for me to film and edit. I was blown away by the raw feeling Jaffna has given me due to its long history of civil war and how it made me fell in love with Jaffna. Thank you to all the supportive comments, it does mean a lot!

Hii i love watching you videos ❤️ and thanks for visiting my country 👍😍
Nice vlog....I always watching u ma'am....god bless ang take care always....
Hi Syifa, once again! Wow you are non-stoppable.. really enjoy your videos..great video! 😍
Jaffna is the best destination in my heart. I've been 4 years lived in jaffna and i met lot of people with greatest hearts. They are best innocent, friendly, people who helping each others everytime i have seen Sri Lanka. ❤️🇱🇰
Jaffna is a beautiful place with very talented people. Hopefully, everything will go well in the future and Jaffna will become one of the key cities in Sri Lanka in terms of the economy. Also, hope that our Tamils get to explore more on politics and appoint politicians that stand for a strong united Sri Lanka. We can make this blessed land the best in the region if we all work together. Let's keep the things that separate us aside because after all, we all are the same. Tamil and Sinhala are both just languages. Our religions that we adhere to are there to guide us to live a peaceful life. So there shouldn't be any arguments about it. Let's all make a more inclusive society. Sinhalese should learn Tamil and Tamils should learn Sinhala. This should be made a compulsory thing. Once we get to understand each other much better then we will feel the same even if anything else does not work out.

Thank you
@NANDASENA ABEYWICKRAMA. YOU HAD TO GAVE THE RIGHT INFORMATION. JAYA WEWA..!!
Totally right..
@ Nandasena Abeywickrama:
Absolutely right! Well said! Lots of love from Jaffna. Let's stand together as Sri Lankans.
Sentimentally and emotionally triggering politics won't help the country grow. That's what dragged us decades behind. Otherwise we would have surpassed many other developed countries by now!
Atleast by now we stand together, do constructive politics and march forward as Sri Lankans.
Suba pathum obatai sahodaraya!
Problem is all the south schools teach Tamil but north schools teach Sinhalese?
I'm from Jaffna, I'm Glad to see that you have visited Jaffna, Also jealous of you on tourism.
We as a srilankans should appreciate you for knowing the history of our motherland more than us❤
NOT MORE THAN US!!!
@@the.peculiar.chica__ we do actually, who cares about local mysteries (not for all)? Only we get to know from the tourist who arrive from all over
love u sri lanka❤🇳🇵
I never knew Jaffna is so beautiful even though I am originally from Jaffna and currently living in London. Thanks for the uploads. May God bless you abundantly.
Thank you so much for watching, it is indeed beautiful and raw. I would recommend visiting your hometown..
Wow didn't know Jaffna was this beautiful thank you for highlighting the Tamil culture .
Jaffna is one of the coolest ( I didn't mean the temperature ) places of Sri Lanka.
It's the most underrated tourism destination in the country.
Great culture. Great food. Great people. Every tourist should go there to feel that feeling. 👌

Yes it's home for one of the oldest civilizations in the world. I think there should take place more archeological survey
@No name No name Yes Is warmest certain time periods but there's no humanity in Jaffna because of the Ocean.
From Jaffna.u r the pure soul
Ramanan good leader
Syifa i can see on their face big loss in that war , many of my tamil family lost their dear and dearest , tamil language and culture is ine of the unique culture in the world , thanks syfa for showing us
*Also non tamils lost their dear and dearest.*
Now we have stopped what tamilnadu wants us to do. ; killing each other.
My mom is a tamil my father is a sinhalese and I'm proud *Sri Lankan*
@@kanishka__ Tamil nadu wanted you to do? Dude it was the government of sri lanka that introduced biased policies which resulted in everything
@@mkalimuthu3275 in 1956 the government made a mistake making sinhala language the only national language of SL , therefore the socialists standed against it. They were talking about tamils rights. At the same time in 1976 a low caste tamil person (you know who) killed a high caste tamil politician(Alphard Doreiyappa) , I don't know why. But after that people made that murderer a hero. Indian politicians funded him , trained him to fight againsts other two nationalities of sri lanka. With the power of Tamilnadu he brainwashed poor people , made an army. And he did it. Slaughtered non tamils.
Because of that bloody war we lost nearly 50 000 lives , Sri lankan lives. Now peace is stablished. But still Tamilnadu tries to make problems here in sri lanka ( what are they doing against muralitharan and the movie based on his life ?). If there wasn't Tamilnadu the only civil war that we were having has happened to be socialists civil war in 1971 and 1988/1989 where the sinhalese , tamils and Muslims faught together against the ruthless government.
My English is not good enough , sorry for that !
@@kanishka__ you are cleverly and purposely accusing Tamil Nadu for the discrimination introduced by the Sinhalese Buddhist against the people of Tamil origin. The civil war started not only because of the language policy but the barriers you people introduced against Tamil people via national policies that targeted their agricultural land to be occupied by sinhalese peasants, prevented them from entering higher education despite higher qualification, planned destruction of their educational infrastructure and ultimately state sponsored violence that were participated by Sinhalese civilians that contributed to armed confrontation. Tamil Nadu followed the issues and supported the Tamil people and until now the people of Tamil Nadu are disgusted by action of Sinhalese that do not learn from past mistakes and continue to sideline and deny the rights of Tamils. That is why they oppose pro sinhalese agenda and personalities and you are using that to blame Tamil Nadu for your civil problems that is introduced by your politicians. Don't use a crime of caste violence to justify discriminations. And what are you blabbering regarding the power of Tamil Nadu and bla...bla...bla. What power they have and what they do? Who did what to whom.....everybody knows that. Only one positive side as you said there is peace in the land but otherwise nothing changed politically for Tamil people of Sri Lanka.
Your srilankan politics like south Africa. It is black and white European settlers. In srilanka between hindus and budiest sinhalese. Majority try to rule minority. See india how bigger it is both in size and population. Indian constitution give equality for hindus, muslim, Christian in this country. 100 cr. Hindu never over power minority religion. Srilanka cannot rule only Buddhist alone.
Srilankan tamils are good souls 🙏🙏
As usual your video is so detailed and background music is so soothing 👍👍
not only Tamils all Sri Lankan civilians are good soul without politicians

I love it how you give details on the history of the cities that you go to!
Thank you for this lovely presentation of my home town and region. Much appreciated.
First of all: Sad to read you’re not feeling well. Hope you will feel better real soon again! Second: Really lovely video again, despite you’re creative block (I wouldn’t have noticed). Watching it makes me feel like I’m walking there myself too. 😍😀
Absolutely loving the raw authentic feeling of Jaffna. Beautiful friendly people, amazing authentic food and amazing Tamil culture. Thank you for this beautiful video.
SRILANKAN. THAMILS. ARE. DECENT AND. WELL CULTURED. PUPILS. BUT. UNFORTNATELEY THEY. ARE MISLEADI NG BY FRAUAD. THAMIL NADU. POLITIONS. FOR. MONEY .

Places that I never thought of coming not until you showed it here, thanks Syifa... advance Merry Christmas!!!
What a beautiful country of Sri Lanka!!!
Excellent and unique video, Syifa. Unique because you have gone so much off the beaten track to show the fascinating city of Jaffna and the surrounding areas which add colour and variety to our island home, Sri Lanka.
Thank you for your down-to-earth and genuine accounts of your experiences.
Take care. Wish you great adventures around the world along with peace of mind and happiness.
Maganda Syifa, wonderful coverage of my hometown and tourist attractions. Excellent work. Bravo.
You’re a sweetheart☺️ I hope nothing but happiness and success in your life 😇 Lots of love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰😘
Excellent video Syifa!……… one of your best!
Too good...you have brought the best of the Jaffna... May God bless you. Happy New Year 2020...
Seems to be very friendly people live in Jaffna,
Dropping by to give you props for your editing skill👍🏽 Makin keren aja. And to give you moral support as well, as I know a solo female traveler sometimes you have to deal with some unwanted attention in some parts of the world. Bahkan yang pada komen di sini cowok kabeh. Semangat, ya! You're doing the world a favor by sharing your travels! 🙏🏽
Now I've a better understanding of the civil war in Sri Lanka and been able to picture the situations therein. All credit to you 👍👍
யாழ்ப்பாணம் , යාපනය , jaffna 👍💟💞
👍
😍
you are well versed in history, culture and very respectful and kind to those. thank you for sharing.
Another excellent video! Keep up the great work. You are calm, precious and detail in your presentation. Keep up the great work. More videos from Sri Lanka please.
Another great vlog syifa😎😎😎you see most of Sri Lankas are so peaceful and inercent people 🤠🤠🤠
Thank you for visiting Jaffna which is my home land and i am currently living in Canada due to the civil war. not many foreign people go to Jaffna but you are so different. thanks again.
i have a question,was pravakaran right or wrong
@@ggeo1364 he was the God of tamils ever.
@@ggeo1364 some things he did were right, some things were wrong. Vice Versa with the government. No one was saints in this war. Both sides were guilty of atrocities and people who suffered was all the civilians. Tamil or Sinhala is just languages, we need to move on together as one nation.
@@cbscboys8784 you mean irish and english both are same,right?
@@ggeo1364 well Irish and English are both part of the United Kingdom
Love from an Indian Tamil to all my Jaffna and other Tamils from Sri lanka
Truly fascinating insight into Jaffna, thank you!
Best tourist video to Srilanka I’ve seen so far.
Thank you for the awesome video Syifa, awesome history lessons and beautiful places. Be safe! keep smiling:)
really great video, Explaining things is really nice
good luck !!
இலங்கையை கண் முன்னே கொண்டு வந்ததுக்கு நன்றி சகோதரி.
Great video Syifa. I watching your videos every time. Respect and support for you and your work!
Our beautiful jaffna...oh lovely im happy to watch this... really thankful to you...temple, market, gardens, village people so pleasent.
Lovely to see Jaffna, I'm still to travel to this city, even living here... Will definitely make the trip soon. Nicely done ! 😁🙏🇱🇰
Nice tour of Jaffna and its history. Those Hindu temples and ruins are amazing.
Thanks for sharing Syifa! 🙏
Hai, syfia, nice to see you back in full swing, loved your comments on SL, slow and clear, God be with you
The temples are spectacular. You can tell the details in creating them. The history is sad but the survival of the people makes it unique. Thank you for sharing.
Hi
I am so glad to know more about Jaffna as it's the origin place of my in-laws family members.
My husband born n brought up here and marry with me sooooooo far North India, Varanasi.
Kind of soul mate😁
So glad to know you enjoy it!
Really? What's his name?
Hi I am from Jaffna. This video is nice and informative. Other than other tourist videos you have given many details and historical points even I didn't know it before. One think I wd like to say its three decades the civil war went on and there hv been lot of new buildings built after the war means you don't see the real pic of Jaffna now. Thanks for your creative comments and keep continue with your good work 👍
Nice to see a tamil brother. from colombo🙏
it would not have been possible to see all these places of the countries so vividly without your insight and beautiful camera lenses. Thanks
This video just blew me. Beautiful landscape. I like the way you go into the history & details.
Well..am from Sri lanka..but I never had been in Jaffna..so you are lucky❤
please visit your homeland
Please visit brother. I am from Jaffna too. We don't have any problems with Sinhalese people!! We are brother's and sisters!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Once again... it's nicely done sister.... I can see an educational value of this video. You shared more historical facts through this video.... Keep up the momentum going!
Wow thank you for the video ... God bless you! hope you had a good time in Jaffna and people ddin't bother you and give any troubles there.
You have a great eye for cinematography with great editing on your videos and very informative and the sweetest smile I have ever seen . Enjoy your stay keep safe
Watching all of your vlogs are really making me teary. I am very jealous of the life that you are living currently. I really want to live very freely, get to know the world in more deeply but I just cant. All I can do right now is just working in the office, chasing the deadlines and surviving in a concrete jungle such as Jakarta. I am not judging the city badly, I just dont like this kind of life though. I really want to be like you yet I acknowledge that I dont have such proclivity. I am too shy to speak very fluently and confidently in front of camera as much as you did after all this time. All in all, please do more good things like this. These are very helpful for me to at least uplift my will to appreciate and live in a good way. Take care and hati hati dijalan, Syifa! 😊
So nice to see the beautiful Temples n green roads of Jaffna.. Thanks for your wonderful video
The coastal roads n beautiful beaches make it a wonderful place to visit n recover from stress
Thanks for wonderful videos
Woow. Thank you Syifa about Sri Lanka. You are very lucky than to me. Because i am did not exploring some places. but, you are already explored Sri Lankan most places. you are showing us how some locations now in Lanka.
Thanks again for coming to Sri Lanka.
Good Sunday Morning Syifa! Your video today has been a very good history lesson of a land whose past is unsettled by western influences. That seems to be a theme carried forward to this very day. I always appreciate your time and effort for no matter how challenging a step in your journey may be, you rise up and present your high quality work as you are so respected for. May your journey continue to be filled with many beautiful opportunities and options as you grow and educate yourself to many of the World's hidden riches! -Bob...

Welcome dear
Hello Syifa, great video and I really like the coastal area. So much history and I learned a lot Thank you again :)
Good stuff 👏 , being born and raised in Jaffna I understand the culture, it will be hard to open up Jaffna people, they quite serious 😕 and hardworking people. But they will open up if you go to the local toddy store 😀, it is called "thavaranai" not if we still have them . Thank you for traveling and showing the Jaffna life through your lenses..!
Most beautiful vlogger ever saw 😍
தமிழன்டா...
Currently in sigiriya, will be visiting the rock tomorrow. Thanks for your videos! 🙌 appreciate them!
Thank you very much for the wonderful Jaffna video.
Jaffna, the city I most wanted to visit in Sri Lanka, had a ferry to India before the civil war, but could not go due to danger.
Thanks for visiting my home town ❤️

Nepalese people are equally hospitable and friendly! :)
@@longdragon3 Thank you sir
Just stumbled upon your channel.
I like your film making style, narration and music. It is also positive to see the open-mindedness of showing different religions, Hinduism and Christianity in this case as well as well researched content.
A lot of similarities can be seen in Bali of the Hinduism in Indonesia, (temple gates or pura, Hanuman, Maha bharata)and also in South East Asia which influenced in various facades and created a way of life; i.e. culture, language including scripts and food, etc.
Jaffna looks beautiful and clean.
Thank you
This is so nice that you work on more and deep than just for a leisure....
love the dedication🎇❤❤❤❤❤
Wow... It's d most beautiful video from Srilanka! ... As amazing Jaffna, as attractive you are here. Plz visit to NEI also.
I forgot one thing... I respect Tamil people. And thanks again for your study of history and for the morning market!
@@shudipchakma Yeah, You are right... But what about Sinhala people?
As you have seen fresh, open minded and beautiful. I don't think human being is enemy of another. It's the sin, the enger, the greedy all that we have inherent in our minds is needed to give up. Thank you once again.
