About Meet Michael and Tush - your hosts during your stay at Welikande. They met in 2016; Tush was a tourist guide and Michael needed somebody to set up adventure tours at the Welikande Center. Although Michael fell in love within 30 seconds, it took Tush 6 months to acknowledge their connection... they have been in love ever since. Our Story Michael first came to Sri Lanka in 1983 as a traveler and felt a strong connection to the land and the people. More than a decade ago, he bought property in Sri Lanka on a whim. His original plan of building a quaint summer house unexpectedly transformed into owning 12 acres of land and 6 homes on a mountain top. Although English by birth, he lived in Denmark for 17 years before relocating permanently to Sri Lanka.
