G'day! I'm Tom, a travel blogger and photographer from Australia who's been documenting hidden gems and authentic experiences across Sri Lanka for the past year. My mission is to showcase the real Sri Lanka - beyond the tourist hotspots - and help fellow travelers discover the magic of this incredible island.

I started my blog "Hidden Lanka" after falling in love with the country's diverse landscapes, rich culture, and incredibly warm people. From ancient temples tucked away in jungles to secret surf breaks known only to locals, I'm always on the hunt for stories that haven't been told a thousand times before.
