📍 Colombo
🎟 A VIP evening where selected businesses, venues, and partners can meet the team, learn about the Expo, and secure their spot in advance.
👨👩👧 The Family Behind Hello Explorer
What makes Hello Explorer different from countless other travel apps and events? It’s built by a family, for families.
•John: Visionary CEO & Founder, also known for his motivational “Action by John” brand. A strategist and coach who brings discipline and creativity together.
•Maria: Creative powerhouse, designer, and storyteller, ensuring every project looks as beautiful as it feels.
•Livia: Their 9-year-old daughter – the youngest “co-founder,” already a published author of children’s adventure books about her cat, Blue Moon 🐾.
Together, they embody what Hello Explorer stands for: travel, connection, and action.
From Koh Samui to Phuket to Kuala Lumpur, the family has been building Hello Explorer city by city. Now, Sri Lanka becomes the newest chapter in their global story.
🌴 Why Sri Lanka, Why Now?
Sri Lanka is one of the world’s most exciting destinations:
•Golden beaches and vibrant surf spots.
•Cultural treasures like ancient temples and forts.
•Lush mountains & tea plantations.
•Friendly, welcoming people who make visitors feel at home.
Tourism here is rebounding strongly, with travelers from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East seeking new, authentic experiences. For Hello Explorer, this is the perfect moment to:
✅ Introduce a modern travel app that connects visitors with local businesses.
✅ Showcase Top 10 attractions, hotels, and restaurants.
✅ Bring businesses global exposure through both the app and Expo.
✅ Add a new country to their expanding Explorer World Map.
🎪 The Big Event: Hello Sri Lanka Explorer Expo
The Hello Sri Lanka Explorer Expo is set for November 2025 in Colombo (final venue to be revealed soon).
This won’t be your typical business fair. Expect a vibrant showcase that combines:

•🍴 Food & Lifestyle – restaurants, cafés, wellness, and spa brands.
•👨👩👧 Family Fun – kids’ clubs, activities, and entertainment.
•🎨 Culture & Adventure – local crafts, excursions, and hidden gems.
🎉 Inspired by Past Success
Earlier this year, Hello Explorer hosted the Explorer Expo at Central Samui in Thailand. That event brought:
•30+ exhibitors – from resorts to wellness centers.
•Thousands of visitors exploring booths and joining activities.
•Kids’ parades and costumes, turning the mall into a family festival.
