Rajika was born and raised in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and has been traveling across the island since childhood. He started writing about those journeys around two years ago, drawn to the hill country viewpoints, hidden historical sites, and local food scenes that rarely make it into typical travel guides. He's also the founder of Ideal Web Design (idealwebdesign.lk), a web development studio. Outside of travel and work, his interests run wide: he's a keen home astronomer with his own telescope, keeps a couple of aquariums, plays video games to unwind, and is always on the hunt for the next great meal — a habit that feeds directly into Sri Lanka Tales' food coverage.
