1st Arrival In The Maldives 🇲🇻 (Not As Expected)

[@KenAbroad]

Welcome to the Maldives series 🇲🇻 If you are new here, feel free to subscribe to follow the journey. There will be more videos from the Maldives 🙏 Here is my next video about my first day exploring Malé, Maldives capital: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHPdapaDeN-hY9ksi=hqLt_FDFxN2H0Fif

Come to Lakshadweep India

[@globomanni8407]

26:27 - This is definitely not, what the Maldives are well known of. We had been to Hulhulmale as well and stayed very close to the "beach" (which is not a proper beach) which you show in the video. A lot better beaches you will have on Maafushi or even better in Gulhi Island. By the way, ... Male, the capital is also worth a visit, where you can meet many differnt people, have a lot of reataurants and so on. Enjoy your vacation, Ken, but please: be more prepared, when you arrive at a new country, so that you will not miss important things !

[@BurkinaFaso-lol]

I recommend you visit kulhudhuffushi

[@paulineteo2186]

Very nice! I hope to visit the Maldives soon, next year. Good choice for your aeroplane seat. You can recline comfortably without worrying about who's behind you.

[@jillleong9386]

Ken, I can obviously see that you are super elated and captivated by the sea upon your arrival in the Maldives.Who wouldn't.😄Just so unexpected about getting your only pair of shoes wet.🙄Will be looking forward to more of your island hopping soon.Enjoy!😎💕🇲🇾

[@whipblaze]

I always love the spontaneous nature of your travels. Going to countries kindof spoiler-free really amps up the excitement and everything you experience feels more authentic.

[@williamperkins1542]

Ken, my wife and I love watching all your videos your observations and comments are always so spot on. Thank you for sharing and god bless.

I live in hulhumale and you bought street food from near my home. Welcome to maldives.

[@embracetheglobe]

I was in the Maldives about 25 years ago. Our tour guide explained to us that all the islands of the Maldives would be under water in 20 years because of climate change. Yet here we are.

[@AuntyJack123]

Yes typical climate scaremongering 😂

[@SouthAsiaFacts]

😂😂😂

[@Thatguy-g3x]

Yes. Climate change has caused a lot of damage to Maldives like beach erosions. There were theories that climate change would affect Maldives and would be under water in few years. And that’s one of the reasons Hulhumale’ was build from scratch. To prevent beach erosion we have taken precautions which have led us to save our islands.

[@rweezy6246]

to dry your shoe fast, you can put old newspaper inside your shoes; mostly I left it over night, next day your shoe will dry up

[@liverpoolrichie5305]

Ken....my first time watching your video! I haven't finished yet but you did something I do. I always tap on the side of the plane 3 times when I get onboard.....been doing that for years! Just thought it was funny you do the same. Cheers!

[@zheshipeng]

You are gaining weight along your journeys Ken. So many good food everywhere.

[@LeenaPihanen-rf8uk]

Lovely to follow you in Maldives. I visited a few years ago Hulhumale, and local islands Rashdoo and Ukulhas. Really enjoyed it :D enjoy Maldives, snorkeling and lovely local food

[@kathleenschlegel703]

Du hattest echt Glück. Wir waren vor rund 2 Wochen auf den Malediven und hatten genau die eine schlechte Woche im Oktober erwischt 😑 5/6 Tage Regen ☔️

[@HarveyChenBlog]

Maldives is one of top tourist destinations in the world. It has been on my bucket list for quite a long time . After seeing your video I can't wait to fly there! And I must visit this paradise as quick as possible because there is a rumor goes like Maldives might be submerge in the future due to climate change!

[@Lay-j3dlay]

As a Maldivian I didn't even know that is going to flood 😭

[@explorermaldives]

You visited finally 😊 Beautiful vlog 😍 Enjoy

[@aliarif1386]

The green one u ate is Bread cake (Dhivehi name: Paan boakiba) 24:18

[@fredwang6354]

So raising the sand from the sea in order to construct an artificial island and build hotels on top has been replicated around the world. Varadero Cuba has been expanded by a 50 kilometers peninsula, similarly Punta Cana Dominican Republic has built an artificial stretch of land called Bavaro, Hong Kong has erected an artificial island and has built a new airport on top and there are many other places around the world that have embarked upon a similar venture. Thank you very much and enjoy your evening 😊😊

[@AndrewAcabu]

Very clean....

[@FR12369]

We just came back 3weeks ago. It's paradise on earth❤

[@AuntyJack123]

Awesome video Ken, I have been wanting to go to the Maldives for a long time 😊 Hopefully you got some flip flops while your shoes dried. We call them thongs in Adelaide South Australia where I'm from. My only shoes in Thailand, and Indonesia for the last year were thongs I go everywhere in them, trekking, shopping, restaurants, flying from country to country. Easy and waterproof 😂 I'm looking forward to the rest of this series 😊

[@lenseofanomad]

thanks for the video, I think I will pass on it, just my personal preference, happy travels friend!

[@MTing-vh8dw]

Beautiful beautiful place on earth! You might need to buy a pair of flipflop when walking on the island. It happened to me as well this July when I visited Qing Dao china, there was unexpected thunderstorm all of sudden, my asics shoes got totally wet, I tried to use hairdryer to dry out when returned to my hotel. It helped a bit, but there's a smell on the shoes. I had to threw them away eventually after my traveling. Looking forward to your next video about Maldives.

[@ReallyBadJosy]

I see you haven't been to Japan yet. I would love to see your experiences in there. You show the best experiences when traveling the Asian countries so it makes me curious to see it through your eyes.

[@phaisalphotos]

That ATM guy was actually giving you correct advise. The red ATM right next to the green one is safer.

I am so envious.. very beautiful place... pls walk barefoot on the beach. It is good for the health.. it's a called "earthing" or "grounding" The water is telling you to walk barefoot... 😅 that's why it splashed you and wet your shoes. Shukriya is Thank you in Hindi... same as Danyavad..😊

That green cake was made of bread. The man was saying "paan", which means "bread" in Dhivehi
