Congratulations to your record of traveling to 40 countries, it is really amazing! When people mentioned Maldives, I immediately thought of the movie "The Blue Lagoon". There should be the most beautiful beach in the world! It's hard to imagine that there are no people on such a beautiful beach, and you can't wear bikinis, what a pity! Thank you for always sharing great videos, looking forward to your next luxury hotel experience! 👍🥰🙏

[@jenmar9428]

We were in Chile (Puerto Natales: Torres del Paine) and Argentina (El Calafate and Ushuaia). After that we were in Brazil for carnival and to relaxing after all the hiking in Patagonia. We were in Arraial Do Cabo. That was absolutely my favorite. One thing about Brazil: it was the worst regarding locals speaking English. 😂 Thank goodness I know a lil bit Portuguese. Even at the airport they don’t speak any English. It was a struggle. I realized that only the highly educated and “rich” people can speak English. We had our Google Translate on deck😂. We want to go back but not during carnival.

[@carolinadanson]

Unfortunately the language barrier is a problem in Brazil 😕 I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed Arraial do Cabo 😁 Carnival is a crazy time to visit the country and since it’s a nacional holiday everything is super crowded as all the Brazilians are traveling around. But I hope you enjoyed Brazil either way 🇧🇷😁

Bout the motocycle thing, you can expect this even tho the island is small, but the humidity & heat is almost unbearable for most maldivians, maybe thats the reaoson why so many people uses motor bikes, ( so that the time outdoors can be reduced )

[@thelifeofreillytravels]

It was nice to see a bit of Male & how local life really is in the Maldives. We were in the Maldives last year but like most tourists went straight from the airport to our resort. Did you see the artificial island they are building just off Male with high rise blocks to relocate the population when climate change will engulf many of their islands in water in the future? So, so sad to think that these paradise islands will be lost to the rising ocean levels.😢

[@JumpingPlaces]

Didn't know about that, do you know which island it is?

We only saw it from the seaplane when we were on our way from the main airport to our resort, think it's the one you went to at the end, where you saw all the new buildings being constructed, Hulhumale.😊

What an outstanding little country made up of atolls/islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Everything is functionable and running with law and order. 98% of the city is so clean and pretty and modern. It would have been nice for you guys to have central air or units all over the apartment since the Maldives are below the equator meaning that it is always hot, hot, and humid and blistering sun. You guys survived it all. An excellent vacation. How did you like the international airport and the customs process? How long was your flight from your point of origin.

Hi, local here. this is probly a bit late. Tourist rarely stay in Male city or the greater Male' area. The Beaches on both Male' and Hulumale' are not considered "good" beaches by any standard by the locals (most likely the worst in the country). i suggest visiting other islands if you are looking for beaches. also the taxies cost 85MVR, but the bus cost 10 MVR. Tourist are expected to respect the culture and religion, but we don't expect you to follow our dress code. if it is too hot for you wear some shorts and a vest (not boxes or bikini).
