Buzz with Danu – Pawan Perera

22 April 2026

You know I love a good story, but I live for the ones that come with a little chaos, a lot of freedom, and zero fixed plans. This week on Buzz with Danu, I caught up with Pawan Perera, the brain behind Go Odyssey, a man who basically said, “Why follow a tour bus when you can drive your own adventure?”

From tuk-tuks taking over the South Coast to tourists finding themselves at random village weddings (yes, that actually happened), Pawan is rewriting how people experience Sri Lanka one ride at a time.

So of course, I had to ask him everything…

Danu Innasithamby

Danu Innasithamby is proof that one person can survive on coffee, curiosity, and an unhealthy number of WhatsApp messages. A television host, actor, producer, writer, and professional chatterbox, he’s spent years turning conversations into stories and stories into memorable television. Born in Jaffna and proudly calling Sri Lanka home, Danu has built a career around asking the questions everyone else is thinking—but with a smile that usually gets him out of trouble. Whether he’s interviewing celebrities, hosting major events, judging competitions, or chasing the next great story, there’s never really a dull moment. When he’s not on screen, he’s busy supporting local talent, championing meaningful causes through Sri Lankan Smile, or convincing himself that “just one more project” is a perfectly reasonable life choice. Known for his humour, colourful suits, quick wit, and the ability to make almost anyone laugh, Danu believes life is best lived with good conversations, great food, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. If you spot him, don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly part of an interview… or at least a really entertaining conversation.
