Africa

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved a good sunrise. It’s that feeling of waking up when the world is still calm and quiet—getting to experience the slow whirr of cars making their way to work, to school, everyone starting a new day with endless possibilities on the horizon. In the Maldives, sunrise hits a little bit differently. No news, no cars, no noise—maybe just a boat whizzing by in the distance. This is exactly what I traveled so far to find: peace and quiet.
