Everyone has heard of the Maldives, the white coral beaches, the turquoise blue water, the boats, the dolphins, the resorts, the swimming with sharks. For me, the Maldives became Maria and her team there. I'm not sure how my experience would have unfolded without them, but with them every minute was shared joy, fun and adventure. We enjoyed all the excursions and hardly stayed a day on our island of Maafushi. We loved every activity we did together as a group. It was my first time traveling with an organized program and group as a whole and I must say it won't be the last! The fun just multiplies when it is shared. Thank you Maria and team for showing me a whole new world of shared adventures, new friends and joy! Oh, and the Maldives, of course, which are now in my heart too!
