Rickshaw Run Sri Lanka

The Dynamic Duo Ready to Rickshaw Through Sri Lanka!

Greetings from two slightly unhinged adventurers, Chelsey and Lee, aka Raiders of the Lost Rickshaw part 2! After surviving the glorious chaos of India in April, we’ve decided to up the ante and take on Sri Lanka with the same mix of reckless enthusiasm, questionable map-reading skills, and an unshakable belief that “what could possibly go wrong?”

Here’s a little about us:

Lee

Hailing from the rugged north of England, Lee bleeds claret and blue as a proud Burnley fan. He’s the kind of guy who can charm you with his dry humor and then confuse you by insisting Burnley is “the Barcelona of Lancashire.” His skills include driving anything with wheels (and some things without), befriending strangers, and offering confident yet utterly wrong navigational advice.

Chelsey

Born in beautiful Brunei and raised with an Aussie sense of adventure, Chelsey is the chief oorganiser snack provider, and the reason we haven’t driven into a lake—yet. Her boundless enthusiasm for travel is matched only by her love of a good roadside curry and her ability to solve most problems with duct tape, sheer willpower, and a well-timed laugh.

Together?

We’re a comedy of errors on wheels. In India, we learned that:

Lee thinks horn-honking is a language (and uses it fluently).

Chelsey can push a rickshaw uphill while muttering things that aren’t exactly PG.

And despite it all, we always find our way back to each other—and occasionally the right road.

We’re all about embracing the chaos, meeting new people, and making memories (and mistakes) in equal measure. Sri Lanka is calling, and we’re ready to answer with sunscreen, snacks, and the unshakable conviction that we’re going to crush this —or at least limp through with style.

Thank you for putting on this incredible adventure. We can’t wait to join the rally, represent our countries (Australia, England, and a splash of Brunei for good measure), and share the laughs along the way. If you’re looking for the team most likely to argue over coconuts or high-five over a perfectly executed U-turn, we’re your pair!

Let us know if you need anything else from us—besides possibly proof of insurance. 😉

Cheers,

Chelsey & Lee

Alright, what up legends?! This is your Icelandic trifecta of stoke — three dudes from the Land of Fire and Ice, now cruising through the tropical paradise of Sri Lanka in a rickshaw. Ya, you heard that right: three Viking-blooded bros hopped off the glacier and onto the Tuk-Tuk for the most epic Rickshaw Run of all time.

We’re the legend of Iceland (or as you now know us, the Nordic Lords of Stoke) and we are PUMPED to be sharing our journey with you. Picture this: three mighty Icelandic surfers— more used to shredding icy waves— absolutely sending it down Sri Lankan roads in a rickshaw, soaking up the sunshine, the tropical vibes, and stoking out on all the radness this beautiful island has to offer.

The stoke is HIGH, my friends. We’ve swapped out the glacial breezes for monsoon winds, the cold North Atlantic for warm Indian Ocean vibes, and let me tell you— the vibes are insane. We’re exploring temples, beaches, and rainforest roads, pushing our comfort zones, and building up the stoke with each kilometer. And we’re doing it all in style with the raddest little three-wheeled rig you’ve ever seen.

So get ready, because we’re about to drop updates on the daily: the highlight reels of massive stoke, comedic mishaps (three Icelandic bros learning to drive a rickshaw on chaotic Sri Lankan roads? Let’s just say, things can get gnarly), and the pure joy we’re soaking in along the way.

We are super grateful to be on this journey and can’t wait to share all the epic stories, the inspiring people we meet, and the full-on stoke infiltration with you.

Stay tuned, legends, because the Icelandic trifecta is on the move, and we’re about to show you that whether you’re from a land of ice or a tropical paradise, the stoke knows no boundaries.

Much love and big time stoke from the Rickshaw Crew in Sri Lanka! 🏆🔥

Keep it steezy and we’ll keep you posted.
