First Impressions of Hulhumale, Maldives - Artificial Island 🇲🇻

A very action-packed raw 2023 Maldives Vlog. After my family left the country, this was the start of my solo expedition of the islands. I took two ferries to travel from Airport Island to Male, and then from Male to Hulhumale, the city often known as "Emergency Island". I explore the streets of this fascinating city that didn't even exist till I was a child and was reclaimed from the sea not too long ago, try out some local food and show you what it's like.

If this looks like a different style than usual, that's because it's a shortened version from a raw vlog from my other channel (On The Go - Raw) where I post raw videos:
