During an evening walk Marcus invited me in for some ginger tea. While talking with him and his family I came up with the idea of asking him to go on a fishing trip. He agreed and the next day we made it happen. Together with Marcus and 2 friends we went into the sea for a few hours to try to catch some fish. That day the conditions weren't so great so we barely caught anything. It was a nice experience to see how the fishermen live their daily lives.
After getting back to main land we went to check out the fishermen that use the 2 tractors to pull back a net at the Negombo beach. They caught way more fish, mostly small silver fish. As Marcus helped them he received some fish as a reward.
We went back to his house, his wife cooked a nice fish omelet accompagnied by a ginger tea for me. It was delicious to say the least.
Because Marcus had left a great impression on me I wanted to give him something back. I decided to donate him 100 Euro or approximately 40,000 Sri Lankan Rupees.

With my RU-vid videos I aim to show a different perspective than what most travel vloggers would do by interacting with people and really getting the local insights of the places I visit. No matter their social background I treat everyone equal. Sometimes this results in awkard conversations but I love it!

All donations will go back to the communities during my travels, this can be through staying or eating at small businesses or even donating this money right back through one of my donations projects.
