A Flat Country, with Hills: A Sri Lankan Journey

Fed up with London and my job, it’s time to escape. Why not Sri Lanka, I think. That’s idyllic and sunny and covered in palm trees, and half way across the world. A good place to chill.A little research might also have revealed that it’s reaching the height of an internal conflict. So probably not the best time to go and work for a peace organisation. Let alone to take the kids. Written in the moment and blind to the future, this is a voyage of discovery where nothing is what it seems, and the end of the journey - if it is an end - is far from where it began.

Edward Arruns Mulhorn lives in Hackney. He has two children. He likes to explore, and wishes he could remember more. He tries to do the right things, but makes a lot of mistakes.
