With destinations contemplating leeway for hopeful future travellers, our February issue shines a light on travel tales in waiting. Sri Lanka beckons watersports enthusiasts with an array of oceanic adventures, where one can whale-watch, snorkel, dive, couch cruise and more. And if the coasts cyan waters dont quench your thirst, Colombos dive bars will. Also in the magazine: a feature on restaurants to visit in a post-pandemic world, a 48-hour guide to Kigali, and an essay on how swimming became a favourite pastime in Irelands seaside suburb of Salthill.
