Anyone else living vicariously through Josie? I know I am 😂 thank you for sharing snippets of your lovely holiday with us

[@kateleeder7191]

I definitely am! I looked at the hotel rates $2000 US a night! Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!! Who can afford that!

[@sjbeedall4382]

@@kateleeder7191 I just looked too. £23000 for a two week holiday. Err - WHAT?! So yes, just enjoying living it through Josie and Charlie!

[@viccifranklin3165]

[@LoveJulzxx]

There's resorts like Summer Island who can do 4 nights for around $3400 AUD in July time, so it depends on your budget and what time of year up go but def doable :)

I would love to see a video from her which details how a natural look is lovely on women these days and that lip fillers look completely ridiculous and women in 2022 should stop trying to look like hookers with porn blow job lips and instead be happy and confident with their natural beauty.

[@edelconroy6047]

The crab walking along the beach and then walking towards the camera 📸 was the funniest and cutest moment, I'd love to go there Josie's, hols looked amazing 🥳🤗💚

[@laurah3252]

Yes! I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had commented on the perfect capture of the crab coming across the sand. This holiday looks soooo relaxing and dreamy.

[@kayfletcher4169]

Loved all those brooding Maldivian skies, and the Josie snorkelling and the curious vlogging crab was accidental genius. Loved these holiday blogs, and yes, I too am living vicariously through these lovely and glamorous holiday videos. Thank you for taking us along.

[@Floralie]

I’m wishing I was there with them too 🤣 looks amazing doesn’t it?! Xx

[@sylviay.5863]

yes!!! the crab was putting on a little show 😂

[@traceymarshall5886]

i went in 2017 and it was nice back then...not sure how it would be 6 years later? Like if it is still newish feeling. What was great is that you can get a boat or plane to the resort....it is not far from Male. Next island to it is the resort where Victoria and David Beckham go to 😆 I found though one side was windy but that is the same with alot of the maldives. I went by myself and chilled out, go to the gym in the morning etc..i dont know if multiple people would find it boring? The staff were lovely. A few downsides was that the island obviously has a waste/fuel/electricity generator section which i had to walk by to get to my room...i think all maldives islands must have the same to get power. The other downside was that there was this weird french couple would take the 2 sun loungers outside of my room everyday so i had no where myself to lay in the sun...that was super annoying! And that was pre covid times. Another thing i found extremely rude was on the excursion to a local inhabitants island...we were told to cover our bodies completely to the wrist and ankle as it is a strict muslim country. I was then horrified to see some girls get on the tour boat in their bikinis and totally ignore the rule to cover up and respect the locals...so they were not allowed onto the local habitants islands because on the islands the local women wear full on burka. Also many people dont know it is forbidden for unmarried couples to sleep together - i wonder how Josie and Charlie get away with going to the Maldives and staying in then same room given it is a strict muslim country. Since i went to the maldives i learnt that the country still flogs and stone women to death for being unmarried and having sex with a man (even if they are a child that has been raped).

[@ambra8957]

The little crab stole the show!! The trip looked so relaxing and the food looked absolutly delicious ☺

[@pshakes1824]

I have to comment again about how relaxed Charlie is in the Maldives. This has been a well-deserved respite for you both. Thanks for sharing with us.

Binged both Maldives episodes tonight 12/29/22 from Colorado where it is currently 30°F and snowing. We’ve got 4-5” so far. What a lovely vacation for you and thanks for sharing it. I actually got that sad feeling of leaving a beautiful island when you had to pack up and leave. I enjoy you two, you’re low key and authentic, while you are enjoying your lives together. Love the sausages too. ❤

Oh I'm going to miss those little crabs stealing the limelight......so cheeky , so funny ! Glad you have had such a wonderful holiday and thank you for taking us along xxx

No. It's actuallt about filming, social media and flaunting. People who truly enjoy their lives don't even post about it. They keep their photos and memories with their loved ones and in private. They don't orchastrate photoshoots and outfits.

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

@@--M--1111 That comes with the territory of being an influencer and how they make their money- it’s a job,like anything else.Personally,I can’t think of anything worse than flaunting my life to public scrutiny but that’s how they’ve chosen to secure an income through sponsorship and advertorials for various companies on their channels like Instagram and You Tube.I guess it’s each to their own and I’m wondering why you watched this video if it’s something you so obviously feel is distasteful.

[@audreysutherland4739]

Thanks for sharing your holiday with us. It looks amazing. In Scotland, porridge is traditionally made with pinhead oatmeal, salt and water rather than porridge oats (rolled). My granda used to soak the oats in water and 1/2 tsp salt overnight then cook in the morning on the stove. He would use a spurtle to stir the oats so that they didn’t stick around the edges and burn. Steel cut oats are pinhead oats in Scotland and we also use them to coat herring (when in season) which is then fried and served with new potatoes. The oats go all crunchy with soft fish underneath the crunchy coating. Americans call them steel cut oats but they are the same as pinhead. Charlie is correct, they release their energy more slowly than rolled oats. Love your blogs Josie x

[@historyhardy5529]

Love cooking oats the slow way but I had not heard about coating and frying herring with them. Thanks for the tip. Herring is not as plentiful here in Vancouver as it once was but still a great meal.

What a super holiday for you & Charlie. I'm envious of your time in the Maldives as I sit in Toronto in -15 celsius surrounded by a foot of snow. Maldives is a place where I've always wanted to go scuba diving. I've thoroughly enjoyed your vlogs.

We went to the Maldives in October. The weather was fantastic although there were a few ominous clouds. You are often glad of the break from the sun. It’s been my favourite destination. I took two pairs of shoes (and I’m a heavy duty packer) and I did not wear shoes the whole time. We missed our seaplane (flight delay) so stayed in Male for the night, it was an experience to say the least? Really hoping to book for Oct again. Was great to reminisce through your vlog xx

I just love your Maldive vlogs. Brings back so many memories of my trip to the maldives 25 years ago. We stayed on an island called Kurumathi. We had the air taxi from male ( the airport then was a wooden hut with a palm leaf room) .. and a single runway which was just a strip of sand.. and there was only one flight in and out per week. Our island had a bar, the beach and water villas and a restaurant and that was it.. a real robinson cruseo experience. Not sure I would enjoy it as much now it is so commercialized.... but i love watching your vlogs all the same. Hope you both got back home safe and sound. I bet the boys went bananas when you walked through the door xxxxx

Reading is such a personal thing... I've read 12 books already this year and almost finishing my 13th, and I've been working all month. On a 10 day trip, I'd probably read about 15 books minimum... My suitcases are never filled with cloths, just with books...
