Thank you for the prompt reply. Your vlog helps me with my planning to Maldives.@@FarellandSheila

[@FarellandSheila]

Thank you. Glad it did. Hope you have a good time there

[@user-ez4bi6ye8o]

A week in Maldives under 4,000 USD and All inclusive? Trust me, it is possible since I did it couple of months ago. How did I do it? Is it a special method? Ofcourse not, you just need to know that there are many ways to make this trip possible. DO NOT fall for the big sites prices 🙂

[@FarellandSheila]

Thats true. Not bad. We did ours for only USD500 for 4d3n for mother & son. Thats all inclusive as well for land arrangements. ;) it doesnt need to be expensive.

[@nickehren3292]

Goin to maldives alone. I hope i can find a nice escort to tour me around.

[@myrnabaiguen637]

I've never seen this side of Maldives! 🫶🇲🇻
