Back in 2013, I started this blog as a way of sharing the experience of living as a foreigner in Sri Lanka. It began small, and over the years it grew with more interest from around the world. It also provided a way for me to give back to the island, and to help others to explore, travel and move to the island. Many people, local and abroad, have connected with the blog and shared my enthusiasm for the adventures that abound in Sri Lanka.
I wanted to offer a free book many years ago, to help travellers and expats make the transition to Sri Lanka easier and less overwhelming. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time, nor sufficient knowledge and experience about publishing, to make that happen. I still don’t have enough time, but I now have a little knowledge and experience of publishing, so here it is. Better late than never, as the saying goes.
Move to Sri Lanka: A Mini Guide for Foreigners and Expat Sri Lankans (“Mini Guide”) has emerged as a gift for those with an interest in visiting or moving to Sri Lanka for a short stint, longer stay, or a more permanent move.
So, if you're considering a work opportunity; thinking about a lifestyle change; looking into a business or investment project; coming over with your Sri Lankan spouse; curious to try out or return after many years living and working abroad; wondering if Sri Lanka is a viable place for retirement, or some other weird and wonderful reason, I hope this Mini Guide helps to address some common questions about moving here and help make the process easier.
Whatever the case may be, I hope you realise your dreams.
Please feel free to share the link with friends and family who may wish to move to Sri Lanka.
And drop me a line if you've found something useful in downloading the Mini Guide. I would love to hear from you - send me an email, or drop a comment here on the blog, or write a review.
You can download a FREE copy of the ebook at Smashwords. It will be available on other retailers in the next week or two.
Please note, Amazon does not allow free books unless it's on their Kindle Select program, and even then it limits the number of days you can promote it as free, so I'm working towards a price match. So, don't be surprised to see a listed price, consider this fair warning to download it on Smashwords, if you'd like it for free.

Thanks. Downloaded the book. I'm a Sri Lankan living outside of SL for a long time now. It's interesting to read about SL from the point of view of a person who was born n raised outside of SL.
Hi Anonymous, Thanks for leaving a comment. Happy to hear you downloaded the book. Hope you found something useful. Best, E
Hi Eva, been living here for over a year now in the North. Your book is great and very accurate, great job.
