Let me tell you, the Maldives is a beautiful place! • Many people don't look beyond the luxury resorts private beaches in the Maldives, but I've come to realize that A THRIVING LOCAL LIFE does exists here, on about 200 islands (15% of the Maldives' total islands). • Earlier this morning, we arrived on a gorgeous local Maldivian island called Maafushi, and despite the heavy winds pouring rain (it's the start of rainy season...) -- I managed to get a nice glimpse of how the people of the Maldives live their day-to-day lives. • I met up with two awesome Instagrammers from the Maldives, Ishan and Sotti, who took me around to experience the hidden gems of Maafushi. • We ate coconuts, went to cafes, roamed the quiet streets, visited Mosques and even had a home-cooked meal in one of their friend's houses. • It's a humbling time of the year to visit the Maldives, because it is Ramadan -- the holiest month of the Muslim religion, where people fast everyday from sunrise to sunset. It was beautiful to witness Iftar or breaking the fast at exactly 6:13PM outside of the main Mosque. The people were so friendly, taking me by the hand and giving me free food. I loved it. • Today was a very special birthday, and a day that I'll never forget. Thank you to all the new friends I made here, and I can't wait to go island hopping with you all tomorrow! • Have you ever been to the Maldives?
