History

First, they shot a video during the Kandy tour for their wedding anniversary. Even they took pictures of that trip, they did not post them. However, after they went to Gampola, they started to take travel photos and post them on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. After seeing their travel photos, Ideal Hell company started to provide the equipment and other help needed to create videos of better quality and content.[11]

Meanwhile, they met popular television personality, Chathura Alwis who proposed the name Travel with Wife. They completed their first travel vlog on 4 May 2018 about Diyaluma Falls. Then they started to travel to many iconic places in Sri Lanka such as Ella, Sigirya, Jaffna, Pasikuda, Mirissa, Mannar, and Trincomalee and create videos and travel photos.[12] In 2019, they collaborated with SriLankan Airlines to promote their Vesak event called 'The Spirit of SriLankan Airlines and magic of Vesak'.[13] The video later won the Best Marketing Innovation at the 2020 APEX/IFSA Awards.[14] [15]

Later in 2019, the YouTube channel won the award for Most Popular influencer of the year at Raigam Social Media Awards (SoMe).[16] In the same year, they were involved with Dell Technologies and Road to Rights Youth Organization to start the initiative to prevent plastic pollution within the waters of Sri Lanka and recycle those plastics.[17] In 2021, they became ambassadors for Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14): "Life Below Water" in the youth-led national campaign called "#ActionToImpact" initiated by The Road to Rights, to accelerate the progress of localizing Sustainable Development Goals in Sri Lanka in supporting UN Decade of Action and contributing to the Global Week to #Act4SDGs.[18]
