Tuk-Tuk Goose
Colombo, Sri Lanka, is a cool place. If you don’t know where it is and you own an iPhone, have S-i-ri Lanka it up for you.
Colombo is an extremely busy city, as Traveler Aaron John discovered.
From dodging tuk-tuks.
To avoiding bikes while trying to cross the street...
But the craziness didn’t keep Aaron from completing his wild goose chase in search of Sri Lanka’s best fabric.
Thanks Aaron for your determination!
Here’s to you and the beautiful island country of Sri Lanka.
And to its beautiful sunrises...
(Wow, it just dawned on me...getting up that early can be a real sun of a beach)
And to the radical surfers who don’t wear shirts. “Cowabunga, dude! Sun’s out, puns out!”
And, of course, to traveler Aaron for Rupee-tedly going the extra mile to find awesome fabric.
So in the midst of life’s busyness...
Here’s to trying to keep calm and curry on… and to feeling good — because after all, it’s Friday!

PS. Plus a few more totes so cool, they may just make regular backpacks irrelephant.

A Stand for the Land
The beauty of Nepal will take your breath away.
However, lack of proper waste management in Nepal is beginning to degrade some of that beauty. In many places, around 70% of waste is dumped in rivers or burned on the side of the road. This has contributed to pollution and disease in Nepal’s communities.
It is Taylor’s mission to change that.
Turkish Delight
The Middle East is known for its ancient history, vast deserts, and religious roots.
From being caught in the pyramid-dle of history in Cairo, to taking in the Israeli great views of Jerusalem, to resting on the Abu’ndant sands of Abu Dhabi.
Uganda Love This
It’s been 8 years since the idea for Taaluma Totes was born while on a life-changing trip to Uganda.
Since then, we’ve been able to fund 41 microloans for small business owners living in Uganda.
From Moses, a 24-year-old coffee farmer who used his loan to buy mulch.
