Have you ever lived this close to the beach? If so where was it and how much did it cost per month?

You are living the best Life..I really hope you will continue to stay in Sri Lanka until thing's are safe ..Sri Lanka is the safest place to be in right now and for sometime.. The worst place to be in right now is America with the chaos and with a leader and President who suck at BOTH .. STAY SAFE ..

Both WIFI and 4G are surprisingly good in Arugam Bay. I'm getting 66mpbs up and 46.5 down right now. Only annoying thing is some places like where I'm staying isn't unlimited data, so I give then an extra $10 to add 50gb whenever it runs out.

Hi Johnny! Glad to see you are safe and having a good time. Everything looks nice, but is the wooden chair in your room not super uncomfortable for doing any work on your laptop that takes more than a few minutes? I just wish most hotels or Airbnb apartments would put in a nice faux leather office chair if they offer a desk.

@JohnnyFD

4 жыл бұрын

Even a slightly more comfortable wooden chair would be nice to have. The chair at my desk is actually one I swapped out, as the original matching one was even less comfortable with the backrest being completely straight. At least this one has a tiny bit of angle.

This is the biggest problem I struggle with when traveling. I run a remote web agency and work around 6-8 hours a day, which makes a comfy seating position quintessential. My back is already kind of f...ed up so I need to be extra careful. Airbnb’s with an office space need to become a thing. Especially in a post COVID world.

Have you been to Da Nang in Vietnam? I had a really nice room about 3 minutes walk to a quiet beach for only $250 a week with super fast wifi and power/water was an extra $25-30 a month. The room was nicer (more modern and private) than the place shown here too. I'm hoping to move back to Da Nang some day but Tbilisi is top of my travel list - and that's the reason I first discovered your channel!

THANKS JONNY IAM SRI LANKA

OK you ASKED, so I'd like to see yo go snorkel with your underwater camera behind Tropicana Home Stay and show us the fish in the water, surfing, and just the really nice beach there

@JohnnyFD

4 жыл бұрын

Haha thanks for the suggestion. But I don't think there's many fish there as generally when they're good surf/waves, it's terrible snorkeling and diving. It'll be just sand.

Quick question, where are you renting your bike from in arugam? I’m paying 900 a day but looking to get it for the month but the people won’t go any lower so I’m looking around. Thanks!

@JohnnyFD

4 жыл бұрын

I'm renting it from the owner of my guest house. I've met a lot of people getting it for 700 a day (long term, 1 month minimum) or even as low as 550 lkr a day sometimes. I didn't mind paying a bit more as it's a newer bike.

don't pay for the full month in one go, say weekly is fine

It looks great!! But you're right, the name could be better haha Is that beach okay for swimming or just surfing?

All the good surf spots, expect for main point which is coal bottom and too advanced for me are 20 minutes away from Arugam Bay. The little surf break behind my house is okay, but it's really small compared to the others. It was 21,000lkr ($113) for the monthly rental.

Really nice 😊 How did you find this place?
