  • From the air, Maamigili Island, in the remote northern Raa Atoll looks like a cute teardrop, and I felt the urge to run to the very top of it where the white sand meets turquoise water. But first we were greeted by drummers announcing the arrival of the new guests, and then led to our beach villa by extremely friendly staff. From the first moment, I realised how special this island is. The nature here is practically untouched, and it's so calm that you instantly feel like you are alone on a uninhabited, lush, green island.

I fell in love with traveling much earlier than I fell in love with my first man. And I'm still faithful to that love (But I have exchanged some men since my first one). I have never had a reason to regret my passion. I constantly dream of going further, it gives me indescribable emotions and meaning to my life.
