The Maldives - AFFORDABLE luxury Travel Guide | The side they don't show you!

[@Donnette_BistroLounge_owner]

215,000 subscribers only for one of the most ridiculously unforgettable, travel experience chanel, with well spoken individuals, ladies who inspire you to go the gym lol, with their bad ass badies, informative sessions. Now that's ridiculously under rated. Passport heavy is hands down the best thing ever happened on KZbin. Got here about two months ago, and I'm hooked. Man the content, the music, the culture, the countries, the staff, the coming together with other bloggers and Y'all editing skills, sigh, 👌I'm done. Y'all are freaking greatness. No joke

[@PassportHeavy]

We really appreciate that for real.

[@lashawndawells7306]

Wow! 75% of my travel research is conducted on KZbin because I’m a visual learner. This is hands down the best Maldives video on this platform. Descriptive, detailed with beautiful people of color but displaying the culture, food, and variety of islands is what truly set this video apart. I travel for more than photos & beaches so I’ve put the Maldives off. It looked like a place that would get boring after a couple of days for a solo traveler and I didn’t want to spend thousands to be bored. You literally changed my view. Excellent job!

[@PassportHeavy]

We really appreciate you taking the time to write out all of that and show the support with your words and time watching.

Yall had a very authentic experience. Like yall did more than just stay on the islands like I see so many people do through their pics and videos. I thought the Maldives was boring prior to this video. I love how yall explored the locals who live there, had dinner with them, played basketball with them, tried new foods❤️ Amazing trip and very informative. This to me is what traveling is about and vacationing. Immersing in others experience. ✨🌺

Two Maldives trips in the bag at the moment and cannot wait for the first in September. We always travel between May and September. The prices are quite often half what you would pay in peak season. The sea and air temperature are much the same but you may get a day or 2 with rain. No big deal. Normally pay just over 4k with seaplane and all inclusive for both of us for 2 weeks. From the UK its not much more than the price of a Caribbean trip

Being a Black creative myself I'm always searching for inspiration when shooting in different places and I always come back to your videos. More importantly, you give such and in depth look at what it's like to travel while Black, I truly appreciate y'all for that. I just left Costa Rica 2 days ago (June 25th-July 3rd), everything you're describing about the Maldives the same can be said about Costa Rica. The Costa Rican people were warm, welcoming, and very hospitable. They immediately identified that my Spanish wasn't up to par (lol) and they didn't make me feel out of place. Overall, I credit your page for helping me feel a lot more comfortable traveling abroad while Black. Much Love to the entire crew.
