Time for change


Every 2 years or so Hubby calls me from work and says something like "what do you think about moving to...". Well that call came a couple of months ago and the sentence ended by "the Maldives".
WOW, now that was unexpected - Malaysia, Singapore, stay in Indonesia etc., yes - but the Maldives? I certainly didn't think about it, not even dream about it. Am I happy? Yes. Excited? Much!

Now I haven't been blogging for some time because I felt that our last location, Bali, did not really need my amateurish blogging! but the Maldives might be something else. I used to blog on Bibs Babs Bobs in Amman and I really enjoyed. I just hope that on my little island in the Indian Ocean I will find enough to blog about....

my last shot of Bali
So we packed up the house and said good bye to beautiful and mysterious Bali for a new adventure in another paradise.

And you know what? the blue water, the white sand, the colour of the sky? well it's all true! this is what we woke up to on our first morning in the Maldives... before getting ready for the sea plane and the flight to our little island in the North Ari Atoll.
our first sunrise! - absolutely amazing 
and one of my first in the Maldives! an early morning walk.

Welcome to our new life in the Maldives!

  1. Hello Julz and family! I just found your blog on expat-blog.com.

    I'm also an expat in Maldives but I live in Male'....... looking through your photos has me incredibly jealous indeed. I get to visit other islands/resorts from time to time but to LIVE there oh my, wow.

    Where abouts are you guys from? How long do you think you'll be here? I'm teaching English over in Hulhumale', will go and live in Hulhumale' once we find a decent apartment. I'm on a short-term contract, March-December 2014. But it's all very exciting! Most of the expat-blogs for Maldives are a bit outdated since they've already left. Yours was a great find!
