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

Round 2. We loved the India run, and have decided to come back for another attempt to kill each other, with the divorce lawyer back on speed dial we are set for another drive to survive adventure.
