Today we bring you our final travel experience from last year (2023): our epic fail of a trip to a local island in The Maldives😅🏝️
We chose the island Dhigurah in the South Ari atoll for its ideal location for whale shark and manta ray snorkeling. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans for us...🙃
We’re Oskar🧔🏻 and Dan👱🏻♂️, and we believe that anyone regardless of who they are deserves to live their dreams! For the past nine years, we’ve continued pushing boundaries by traveling and living all across the world, including places like Uganda, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia. In 2022, we reached a huge milestone by visiting 100 countries and we’re now on a mission to keep sharing our journey and hopefully make the world a little more open, compassionate, and peaceful along the way❤️
The Maldives was country 41🌍 (first visited in 2019)
Thank you for watching!🙏😍
