Loving your work! I discovered you while researching Bali but am actually travelling to Sri Lanka in 2 weeks which is cool. Can't wait for Uda Walawe park after seeing your video!

Stumbled onto your vlog totally by accident. Immediately got hooked. The two of you are delightful. Open, informative, very comfortable on camera, and completely adorable. Am totally living vicariously through you right now. Keep up the good work! Safe travels.

Thank you Hugo and Noemie for your vlog! The images from the drone at the beach were awesome. It's amazing how you have +35 ^C and here it is currently -14^C with snow. I like the room you are staying in; it looks really nice. Thank you for all your answers to the questions. I've read that cobras only eat other snakes; but I'm sure you will be careful around them! I hope you both have a great day! Stay cool! Have fun! Thank you! Thumbs up!

Hey Mike, how are you doing in the snow? Regarding the cobra's, would you believe us if we'd say that Hugo actually came face to face with a cobra and even held one with a stick? Well the answer will be in one of the next vlogs 😃

Hey Guys, great job!! your vlogs are really cool. I think it's great that you guys don't commit to daily vlogs, you need to keep enjoying yourselves and not make it turn into work...too much. My husband and I look forward to your videos and you are a great inspiration to us !!!

Hey Rachael, it is so nice to hear from you 😊 it is a very tricky thing especially since we don't want it to become an obligation as we feel that is where it gets not natural anymore, thanks for the feedback!

Hey als ik jullie was zou ik niet elke dag vloggen. Jullie moeten ook nog genieten van de reis natuurlijk! Ook zou het misschien de kwaliteit van jullie vlogs kunnen verminderen aangezien het zoveel tijd kost. Ik vind jullie vlogs echt geweldig om te zien en blijf vooral doorgaan😊

Hey Melissa! Thanks voor je reactie, het is inderdaad een lastige keus. We werken elke dag heel hard om het al 2-3x per week te doen maar als we op een gegeven moment in staat zijn om het vaker te doen gaan we dat overwegen. Vloggen alleen valt nog wel mee maar we dienen ook foto's te maken voor onze website, Instagram en andere videoclips etc. en die combinatie van dat multitasken maakt het nu nog teveel. Maar onze leercurve groeit rustig dus wie weet! 😃

Hi there, could you let me know where you stayed with the pool in this view please? Looks lush x

you guys have a great philosophy

Hello again, Thank you for your help so far :-) I was wondering if you could say which of the beaches is best for swimming , calmer water and less rocks . I love to swim in the sea and don't want to miss a good beach :-)

@hugorijpstra.netherlands

I would say Hirekitiya Beach (more for surfers but in the beginning is very clear and perfect water) and there's a small one in Midigama (however hard to explain how to get there) but definitely not near Mirissa and Tangalle (it's more rough there), hope that helps!

I would recommend Madiha Beach, which is a few kilometers towards the Matara town. Ask any local in Mirissa. They would direct you to Madiha beach. It's really beautiful place.

I'm really liking Sri Lanka :)

If you were filming this vlog during 1-6 of March, the reason for so many planes is 66 anniversary of Sri Lankan Air Force I suppose) our local friend who hosted us there is Air Force officer, so we are quite informed😃

Hahaha you were totally right! I think it was the 5th or 6th, so thanks for that hehe! 😃

Heii guys! Nice q&a! Can you make pictures with your vlogging camera? Can you recommend this camera for both vlogging and pictures? I have no experience with cameras. I wish you a lovely time. Diana

Hey Diana! We can take pictures with our vlogging camera as well! Right now we're exploring other opportunities as well and we're thinking of doing a vlog on it when we have the information! You'll probably want a camera that you can put multiple lenses on if you want to be able to do different shots. I would also advice you to watch a few KZread tutorials on cameras

what filter do you use on instagram or for vlogs?
