Yamindra Watson Perera

Director

Born and bred in Colombo, Sri Lanka and hailing from a large extended family, Yamindra grew up travelling across this beautiful country on many a family vacation. From bathing in the water falls of the hill country, safaris in the many national parks, to off the beaten path beach escapes down south, Yamindra fell in love with her island home.

Having recently returned after 20 years in North America, Yamindra believes there is no place more beautiful than Sri Lanka! She loves travelling around and reconnecting with the country all over again, showing off her paradise island to the constant stream of family and friends who visit, and warmly welcoming many a guest into her home.
