  • I had arrived in the Maldives on the island of Male and from the airport I went to Hulumale and stayed there for a few days. Then I came to Guraidhoo and in this video you'll see my journey to the island of Thoddoo in the west part of the all the atolls in the Maldives. You can take speed boats for 25 us dollars to most of the islands. Some cost 35 if it is a bit further out. I might go to Mumbai in India after this trip but I'm not sure as I have not planned almost anything. The video series I have uploaded form the Maldives have had some information on how to travel the Maldives on a budget.

    In some weird way, this has to be my favourite video of a traveller. There's something so moving about someone being alone in a big beautiful island. And it's not like a survival show, you have everything, but it's like you just accidentally walked into a different planet altogether and are now wondering where all the people went.

    The solo traveling is turning you into a philosopher.

    The reason why , you will find less people in day time and less recreational activities is because it's 16th day out of 30 of Ramadan, which is the fasting ( dry fasting from early morning prayer around 4:45 am to evening prayer at 6:14 pm ) month of all Muslims around the planet . You should try fasting one day , 1st or 2nd day you may have headache but slowly your body will adapt and will make you more energised.
    You are in Alifu Alifu atoll which is the northern part of the atoll , the southern part is called Alifu Dhaalu Atoll. Mostly all islands have very beautiful reefs in these 2 atolls . Where less people and less commercial activity means more preserved reefs . Most are untouched underwater gardens .
    And you are lucky you are in the biggest 🍉 watermelon plots , which have good tasting watermelon

    Hey, william. Other than the last guy you spoke, they are not from Maldives. They are Bangladeshi people. Most of the people from Thoddoo knows how to speak basic English. And mostly people from this island works morning and evening on the farm. Maybe that's why you find all the roads empty. It's quite peaceful and free here.
    Thank you for featuring Thoddoo island.

      If you are interested in a local island with more tourists, overseas visitors, and activity visit Maafushi. It's south of Male, speed boats go there frequently. But still there's Sharia law, so no liquor, bibles, or bacon (pork)!

    I can't help but mention, Most of the people you meet in cafe's and other working places aren't Maldivian's. They are Bangladesh expats and speak little dhivehi. Just didn't want you to confuse them with Maldivians.

    Hey William, there's a website that explains all about ferry transfers in the Maldives. You've taken speed boats which go back and from Male. There are also local Dhoni ferries that visit different islands in an atoll group. They are less frequent, slower, but cheaper. You can catch one of these to visit Uklhas and Mathiveri both have cheap guesthouses and house reefs.

    The two fundamental variables of living are: 1. where you are., and 2. who you are with. With number 2 much more important, because with the right companion, sometimes, you are oblivious to your surroundings as you will be so captivated by him/her to even care where you are.

    I like it when you get philosophical William. We live on a beautiful planet in this immense universe that provides everything we need every day. But the people who are in control want us to be slaves to the 9 to 5. Certain people are the problem on the planet; the planet itself with all its amazing life forms is perfect. Bravo to you William that you are an adventuresome spirit that wants to experience life and to be free. If I were younger I'd take you up on your offer to join you on your adventure. Hope you find that perfect person because you're a really cool guy in a good human. Love your channel. ♥️
