A Travel Writer Has Revealed How She Secured The Job Of A Lifetime To Spend Every Day Reviewing Luxury Resorts While Living In The Maldives
A travel writer has revealed how she secured the job of a lifetime to spend every day reviewing luxury resorts while living in the Maldives.
Former teacher [ ], 30, currently lives on an island called Thulusdhoo which is surrounded by crystal clear waters and has a population of just 1,900.
And although she's been been a travel blogger for five years, she also runs her own travel guide business that has turned over $75,000 in just 10 months.
When she first moved to the Maldives in 2015, local island tourism was relatively new and she hardly had a dollar to her name.
But in 2018 she and her boyfriend launched a lucrative travel website that offers budget tips and holiday planning for those heading to the Maldives, and in early 2019 she woke up to a very enticing offer from the Forbes Travel Guide.

'I also like to meet our guests that visit Thulusdhoo Island.
Sometimes I will join our guests at a sandbank island excursion or for turtle snorkelling,' she said.
