Carly & Claudio - Rickshaw Run 2023 - What's The Story Morning Tandoori

Thanks for visiting our page! 

As many of you will know, we absolutely love an adventure and seeing the world at every given opportunity.

After FINALLY tying the knot in 2022, we decided that whilst sipping cocktails and staying in swanky hotels was totally fine for a honeymoon, we wanted MORE. 

So, logically, we decided to step out of the comfort zone and into something truly wild.  

On April 9th, Carly & I will embark on a 3800km journey from Kerala in southwest India to Gangtok in the foothills of the Himalayas, traversing across the Indian subcontinent from bottom to top.  Ideally, you'd have about 6 weeks/2 months to do this.  We've got 14 days.  And, to top it off, we will be covering the vast distance in India's number one mode of transportation.... the trusty Rickshaw (aka Tuk-Tuk)!   

We have no set route, no real plan, absolutely zero mechanical knowledge and clearly no true understanding of what the hell we have signed ourselves up to.   What could possibly go wrong?!  

Are we excited?  You betcha.

Will it be amazing? Damn right.

Are we mad?  Almost certainly. 

It turns out that we aren't the only deluded people taking part.  Oh no.  The Rickshaw Run is pretty popular - you can find more info on this wild adventure here: https://www.theadventurists.com/rickshaw-run-india/

This is certainly going to be our maddest adventure yet, so come along and enjoy the ride with us - we will be providing daily updates on our progress, pictures of our beautiful steed and much more.
You can follow all the action on our Insta pages - @pastafarian_85 & @carlybonbon  

Along with experiencing everything this crazy country has to offer from our glorified tin can on wheels, we are hoping to raise money for two amazing charities: 

Cool Earth - doing incredible things for rainforest conservation and the climate crisis: - https://www.coolearth.org/

ABC Animal Sanctuary - an amazing little charity finding homes for abandoned and unwanted animals in Sussex, UK:  - https://www.abcanimalsanctuary.co.uk/

Every penny really does count - so thank you all SO much for donating whatever you can to these great causes.  And remember, please ensure you Gift Aid your donation to make that extra bit of difference. 

Much love, 

Claudio & Carly xx
