Recently, I was approached by so many of you asking me how many nights is ‘enough’ in Maldives and when is the best time to go? I would always say depends…Do you get bored easily? Do you not like the silence? What is it you are looking for?
Having been to Maldives a few too many times, different weather forecast plays a major role on our trip. But after a few times of having rain fall on us and waiting impatiently for it to pass, we learned that there are other things you can do in Maldives to Survive the rain.

Surviving Rain in Maldives
In the moment
We heard it so many times before and we try and implement it in our daily repertoire but the honest truth is that the fast pace life, the social media and tech doesn’t make it easy at all. You are in the Maldives. Islands of infinite water life and the ‘far away land’ that most people dream of. Watch the rain from your room with the windows open, read a book in bed and just watch be in the moment.
Try different cuisines
Having a wide variety of restaurants in the hotel has to be on the top 3 of the reasons to pick a certain hotel. For rainy days, you get to try different cuisines and even learn to cook!
Take a walk in the rain
Why wouldn’t you anyway? Hotels provides rain coats and umbrellas and when it rains, life goes on… It’s so therapeutic and calm.
Book a Yoga class
Find some quiet time and let it go. Let go of all that matters and the things that didn’t. There is no such thing as balanced life. Don’t look for it. Just try and focus on working on your peace.
Have a massage
One of the greatest stress reliever is booking your one hour (or more) spa session. The second greatest thing is the one hour of detox therapy after that! The best thing about it, you wont be feeling guilty about missing out some sun!

![I struggled to choose a caption for this image because they say that you are what you share on social media, and so, I wanted to make it count.
Being a 'blogger' or a 'traveler' has changed significantly over the past few years. You can’t go on Instagram without stumbling upon hundreds of carefully selected, beautifully crafted images.
The truth is, today, things are not the same as they used to be. Travel has changed and grown. The internet has given us a chance to see the world through people's eyes and to dream of places many of us never even knew existed.
But social media has also changed travel and the nature of blogging. Sharing my travel online has today somewhat been a constant pressure and the staging of every single photo has become the business of every instagrammer.
I have felt the pressure of keeping up and carefully selecting what I chose to share.
I've even promised myself that I would be a leader, not a follower, and stay far away from online traveling trends that would warp my ability to offer my readers the very best & honest tips and insider reports.
The key...is confidence... I had the chance to make every possible mistake and figure out a way to always recover from it. Once you realize that there is life after a mistake, you gain your confidence and that, never goes away,
It goes straight to the heart and once you have that, no one and nothing can take that away from you . . I hope I’ll always have the courage to live a life that’s true to who I am and not the life that others expect of me... 💕[Click link in bio to read the full article] 💕.](http://scontent-sjc2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s320x320/sh0.08/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/21373823_662059130656487_3200545646851391488_n.jpg "I struggled to choose a caption for this image because they say that you are what you share on social media, and so, I wanted to make it count.
