    I lost my aunt by the Tsunami when I was 4. She lived in Matara with her family and her husband and two sons were lucky enough to save their lives. You have a good heart Lucie. Thanks for showing the things that we went through as Sri Lankans.

    There's no full paradise in this world like what you expecting. World is world no matter how good you are. Don't panic after see the reality. The world doesn't exist the way you want it to. All we can do is live as a good person "like you'
    And being happy about the good things that exist. There are so many bad things happening in the world that you can't see them. We can’t stop everything.

    Hey Lucie, i started seeing your videos from the recommendation of other youtuber Jesi vlogs. There onwards i started seeing both of your videos when i get time. I 'm from southern india, place called tamil nadu(very close to srilanka). You said in one of your previous video that you don't want to go back to london and do the same routine job that you were supposed to do! That statement was true.. To live a life as per our wish is great thing. I'm planning to visit SL next year, will definitely visit your recommended places and jesi vlog's places with my family. Finally i 'm subscribed to your channel today.. Good luck

    Dear Sister Lusie,Thanks about your kind concern about the biggest natural disaster hits our country 16 years ago.Also Thanks about promotes our country beauty to whole world.One thing i would like to give you a little advise.This is not an insult or acuse Dear.When you visits a relegious place or monument refrain from wearing dresses which reveals the body and wear well coverd dresses.So Sister Happy stay in our Paradise with our Brother Lahiru.Enjoy our Hospitality.Bless you Both.ලහිරු මල්ලි කෙල්ලව හොඳින් බලාගන්න.ලංකාවේ නම ගෙනියන්න.උඹලා දෙන්නාටම බුදු සරණයි!!!

    Maybe you will change your mind if you go back when its season time (nov-feb).
    Depends on what you like of couse. I do not want to comment on people beside agreeing with you, but sadly i’ve seen worse :(
    However nice to see the beach i grew up- reminding me soo many memories.

    Hi Lucie thanks very much for another great video.. you are a person with golden heart that’s why you feel agony of others and you feel emotional about people who lost in 2004 tsunami. I am 1000% agree with you about environmental harm you highlighted. There is a designated costal conservation authority in Sri Lanka and they are just jerks doing nothing about those harmful constructions destroying the cost.. Hikkaduwa was a tourist paradise once but local people got greedy and tried more and more by making constructions in to the beach destroying its beauty and it is no longer a as popular destination any longer.. I am worried it’s going to happen to other beautiful beaches too. If those government people watch videos like yours that itself enough to them to think and act fast...
