With a passion for exploring the wild, Verity found Dubai an excellent hub for spontaneous trips to reconnect with nature. Working hard in the corporate/media world for eight years was interspersed with frequent escapes to South Sri Lanka. In 2010, Verity discovered coaching, which opened her mind to possibilities she hadn’t considered. These positive experiences inspired her to pursue a coaching qualification. A desire for space and creativity began to shape her plans for the future, which included leaving (the city life) of Dubai behind.
In 2013, the dreams became a reality when Verity and her partner, Garrath, made the move to South Sri Lanka. 2014 brought the completion of their laidback luxury surf villas Ebb and Flow Jungalows. Surf Stay Sri Lanka followed in 2015 as a surf travel agency extension.
Four years of connecting and speaking to hundreds of holidaymakers in Sri Lanka, a common theme revealed itself to Verity. She noticed that people were looking for a holiday to improve their lives and overall well-being – they might be burnt out, confused or just somewhat out of touch with their lives and they wanted things to be different. They were looking for a relaxing holiday break, yes, but they also hoped to clarify their thoughts, reignite momentum or get reacquainted with their values and passions. Verity has created Evolve in Sri Lanka for these wellness seekers and truth seekers. This is for you.
