Foreigner’s FIRST TIME driving a TUKTUK | SRI LANKA TRAVEL VLOG | RTW Trip Vlog101
I will be solo backpacking around Sri Lanka for the next 2 weeks (and maybe more).
I have hired my own, self drive, tuktuk so I will be driving all around Sri Lanka in a rental tuktuk.
In this first leg of the journey I will be travelling from Negombo to Sigirya and I have picked up another passenger already. The journey turns out to be a lot more eventful than I had first anticipated.
…………………..
🙋🏻♂️ABOUT ME: I have quit my job, sold my car, given up my house and will be travelling around the world for a whole year. I have no itinerary and no other flights booked so I can’t tell you where I’ll be going next, or even where I’ll be tomorrow, so hit that subscribe button to follow along with my journey.

Guys, if you are planning to visit Sri Lanka in May and June, there will be a lot of food donations happening all around the country. Those are called "Dansals". Coffee, Tea, Soft Drinks, food (Rice and Curry, Peas, Rotti, and so many). Feel free to have them. Thanks for the video guys. ❤ ❤ ❤ Enjoy the beauty of this Little Heaven.

01:37 Those orange colour coconuts are called King Coconut and after tasting, you probably can guess why. Btw as per Wikipedia, those are native to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰. 02:00 These bike rallies are not a normal thing. But traffic laws are loosely enforced during some festival days (5 or 6 days per year).

It was a special religious day for Sri Lankan buddhists. Something similar to Christmas. Sri Lankan buddhists celebrate that day because, in ancient time, that was the day that Sri Lanka got the Buddhism from India officially.

Vesak full moon poya day on the month of May where the Lord Buddha who is considered as the religious leader of all buddhists was born, enlightened and attained nibbana and Poson full moon poya day on the month of June where buddhism was established in Srilanka are very special poya days for all buddhists around the country. People get ready with different types of decorations such as lanterns and pandols for 4 - 5 days around the full moon poya day and specially they offer many free food drinks vegetables and even clothes which are called "Dansal". Hope u had a great time here in Srilanka..... love meeting u one day and speaking to u........
