​Lost In The Maldives With Dolphins
The turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean were stretching out endlessly around me, the sun was casting a warm golden glow across the waves. I found myself aboard a private motorboat with not a soul in sight. This wasn't a typical tourist-packed boat tour—this was the real deal. Just me, the local boatman and the open ocean, kilometres from any shoreline in the Maldives. The kind of quiet where you can hear the hum of your own thoughts, until something more magical breaks the silence.
