Hรก sempre alguma dissonรขncia entre o destino como nรณs o imaginamos, e como ele realmente รฉ.
Por um lado, porque hรก sempre coisas para aprender sobre o lugar. No caso da nossa viagem pelas Maldivas, experiรชncias que foram desde a estadia num resort (ao que eu nรฃo estou nada habituado) atรฉ ร restauraรงรฃo de corais com os The Coral Planters, permitiram-me ver as vรกrias caras das Maldivas.
Por outro lado, porque mesmo as coisas que julgรกvamos jรก saber podem-nos surpreender. Nรณs, por exemplo, jรก sabรญamos que รญamos apanhar ondas boas. Mas nรฃo estรกvamos ร espera de encontrar este mar com cara de Indonรฉsia.
Acredito que as Maldivas ainda tenham forma de me surpreender, por isso, volto este ano. Se gostavas de te juntar a esta viagem, comenta este vรญdeo e explico-te tudo!

There is always a bit of dissonance between the destination as we imagine it, and as it really is.
On one hand, because there is always something to learn about a place. In the case of our boat trip through the Maldives, we got to know more about the History of these islands, what's behind its perfection and the life underneath its clear water. This allowed us to look at it differently.
On the other hand, because even the things we thought we knew can surprise us. For instance, we already knew we would find good waves. But we didn't expect to find these Indonesia-like conditions.
I'm sure the Maldives have more to surprise me with, so I will back this year. If you'd like to join this trop, comment this video and I will tell you how!
