Hello and welcome to our channel,
We are Reanne and Ben living in Portsmouth, England. We have been together from the age of 15.
We brought our first house together at 23, got married at 25 and Reanne started her own business at 27.
We have been wanting to travel the world for the last couple of year but covid put a stop to it.
The day has finally come we have sold our business and packed everything we own into storage, rented our house to explore as much of the world as we can in one year.
We created this KZread channel to share our adventure with everyone who wants to explore but don’t know how. Let us know what you think of our channel so leave a comment we’d love to hear from you x
Join us on our adventures.

What were you shocked about ? They treated you very well. Just an FYI , your plastic licence isn’t valid as it is , you need to get an IDP before you go. As for insurance, you won’t have any unless your travel insurance specifically covers motorbikes of 125cc or over , even then , unless Rean has a full motorcycle licence in the uk , you’ll have no cover for anything. Any hospital bills will not be covered. Same applies in Thailand BTW 👍

@SorryLankan Yes , it's true. I'm Sinhalese and I do agree and apologize. Even LTTE is not a Sri Lankan problem, it's India's problem. We could have negotiated with even LTTE and resolve the issue, Sinhalese are the friends of Tamils( there were previous very ancient time wars like Elara , Dutugamanu, but those real warriors can't be compared with current day dirty politicians who are corrupted with greed and money, even we believe king Dutugamanu is great, we also know King Elara is a proud warrior , a fair man, ). Sinhalese majority government should have taken the side of people of Tamil Nandu, instead of the side of the central government of India. LTTE actually wanted a separate land for Tamils from India. They never intended to fight with Sinhalese. Sinhalese should be never ever the enemy of enemy of Tamils. If we research that correctly then we can easily understand it's not fair how Indian central government is treating farmers in Tamil Nandu area. Now almost all Sinhalese have learned that costly lesson and they actually paid the price. The cost of fighting somebody's else war. The cost of not learning the right pride of history. The cost of fake nationalism created for political gain and profit. Kind Dutugamanu is not like today's politicians , never can compare with King Elara. King Elara and Dutugamanu are great warriors , great kings , proud men at ancient times. We should learn our history and pride of our history in right way. The person Lasantha Wikramathunga, at that time Gottabhaya got all his support from people. So it's not why he is killed. He is killed most because do investigative journalism on Mig aircraft buying. now that court case is ongoing. Udayanga Weerathunga is also in the circle as well. He is also have allegations about supplying weapons to Russian friendly mobs in Ukraine.

Respect the law of the country mate. International driving licences are valid for driving in Sri Lanka. However UK drivers licence holders have to apply for a Sri Lanka driving licence. To arrange for a local licence, you will need to contact the Department of Motor vehicles. In this case the police officer in charge, officer 53491 can be challenged why he let you go for driving in Sri Lanka with out valid licence.

In Sri Lanka it's a rule, not only the driving license, you have to keep, bellow items when you are driving. If a petrol car the non expired smoke test certificate. Revenue license ( if it's a car you have to photoccopy it and scale down image should past on the upper left side of the windshield. ). And keep the original revenue license. Insurance non expired. ( this is a printed bank ATM card size card).

Please don't give a bad impression to the world with the heading of your vedio. The police officer should be appreciated for doing his job right. Yes, we know you are tourists visiting our country. We really appreciate you guys visiting our country during this hardship, but the law is law where ever you go. I believe you know the law better coming from a country where the law is very strict. So everyone has to obey the law of any country they live or go. I accidentally saw your vedio and wanted to watch it to see whether the policeman mistreated you or not, but seems it's the opposite has happened. I realised it watching the full video. I can understand you need more viewers, but not everyone is going to watch your full vedio, so people may misjudge our country and the people with this kind of headings you trying to get more attention to your vedios. If something nice has happened please don't hesitate to say it directly and please don't try to make other travellers to think twice coming to our country when we need more travellers to be attracted. Hope you guys enjoy the beauty of our country and the warm company of Sri Lankans. Have a safe travels!

@@OTWD_yt Don't feel sorry for what happened. Very unfortunate to see it happened to you. I wish someone who live in Jaffna during the past 39 years would have written their real experiences with law enforcement in trouble zone. I was born in Jaffna but didn’t live there during the worst time. Please educate yourself before visiting this part of the world which had a terrible past. Most of the people who wrote comments claim themselves as Sri Lankan never lived in Jaffna so you shouldn’t trust their word comes from their mouth. All they want is tourist money flowing into their bankrupted nation’s economy to wipe out the debt so that they can continue doing whatever to the under represented people in Sri Lanka specially in minority Tamils and Sinhalese regions. God bless you and safe journey. Many locals lived in this part of the world lost at least 1-2 or whole family to the police brutality. It was a norm to locals by law enforcement.

UK license is valid in SL as I know. it's not valid to do a driving job or drive a taxi or commercial driving. But it's valid this way. Anybody have more information regarding this?

I originally thought it was valid but now I’m not sure I assume the police officer thought it was valid because Once he saw the insurance documents he let us drive away 🤷♂️
Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka we love you guys ❤

You Need 4 documents while travelling by your own vehicle in Sri Lanka. 1. Your Driving License 2. Revenue License 3. Vehicle Insurance 4. Vehicle Green Test , don't go on riding without these you would be in great trouble if met with and accident.

Hi guys, it’s the first video I’ve watched of yours. I have a minor gripe 😬 I know everyone has budgets and everyone has to travel on different budgets. However, I think missing out on Jaffna Fort for the sake of 2 Starbucks coffees was a bit of a mistake. When you look back in 10 years and you reflect about how you were once in Sri Lanka but you never visited the Fort because it cost the amount of a coffee, you will kick yourself. I’m saying this a little bit from experience as well. Just a bit of advice, learn where to scrimp. I know we all value things differently but for the sake of one beer less per night or one coffee less etc, you could easily see and do the things you actually want to do. There’s not too much point in travelling for 10-20 years but window shopping the whole time. By the way, the lady in this duo is fit!!! Just trying to say it as civil and respectful as possible. 🤙

Hey, I'm from the Starbucks, Tim Hortons,Dunkin Donuts... lands(for 1 latte price at these places you can buy a 3* SL dinner man! 🤣) & I also was at & around this Fort behind the Library & the pretty parkette & clock tower across a few times during my few weeks stay-visit (prior to the start of the long civil war times yrs back) & I happily skipped going inside this fort + few other high fee for foreigners places around Columbo too, memory photos just as great, current fort fee sounds bit hefty by SL standard too.., ought to be lower couples fee etc! (you can see few other recent pre Pandemic vloggs w inside views..) by the way I saw English cricket team playing a friendly match at that grounds across the Library from a previous trip too( but nothing beats my 1st Test match watching experience inside London oval grounds, the rubber match against Ausies 🇦🇺🏏🇬🇧2-3 yrs after that SL trip.

"ello ello ello" , what have we here then? The cops don't generally do routine stops on tourists in the south. I guess it shows that they are not used to having many visitors in this part of the island.
