The Maldives: You either haven't been, or you've been countless times.

Even the local islands are so beautiful, it's unreal. It feels like coming home. They carve my name on the welcome coconut, along with "flower tea." Local children play carefree on the beach. I watch them ride jet skis, parasail, surf, and swim in the sea. I see locals fishing on the pier, everyone gathered together watching nurse sharks and manta rays. The beauty of the local islands lies in these happy moments. Every sunset seems different, because I want to have many, many different moments of happiness. The Maldives is wonderful. I think I'll go again next time.
