Hi, I’m Hanas, the heart and soul of Arugambay Agenda. I'm a true native of the East Coast, born and raised among the waves. My mission is simple: to share the magic of my beautiful hometown with the world.
Where did my passion for Sri Lanka travel begin?
Growing up in Arugam Bay, the ocean was my backyard. I spent my childhood listening to the waves and meeting travelers from all over the world. Watching them fall in love with my home sparked a dream. I knew I didn't just want to live here; I wanted to show the world how to experience this paradise properly.
Why did I leave the corporate world?
After finishing my Business degree (BBA) in Marketing, I worked for a major company in Colombo. It was a great job, but the city office couldn't beat the call of the coast. I decided to quit the corporate life and return to my roots. I came home to start Arugambay Agenda—a place where my local heart meets my professional expertise.
How did Italy change my perspective?
To grow even more, I moved to Italy for a Master's in International Tourism and Destination Management. Today, I split my time between Italy and Sri Lanka. This global connection lets me mix local secrets with world-class standards. I bridge the gap between "local life" and the high quality that international travelers expect.
What is my vision for your journey?
Arugambay Agenda is about sustainable, real experiences. Whether we are exploring wild safaris or ancient rock temples, my goal is to show you the true Sri Lanka. I want to ensure your journey is authentic, insightful, and supports our local community. Welcome to our home!
