His name is Kokko. I told him my cat has the same name, Coco. I learned later that our young Maldivian guide’s nickname means “little brother.” His formal name is “Ibrahim Abdul Sattar.” He is also more charming than my cat, and a lot less furry.

I thrive on travel. I love to put myself in situations that knock me in the head, shake me up, force me to bless the moment of misunderstanding or of revelation. These times come easily when I travel. I've wandered India, Central America, and Southeast Asia, and I am thankful to the hundreds of people along the way who have eased my passage, delighted my senses, touched my heart.

Beautiful picture, beautiful blog
I would have loved to have left a comment on your blog but it's not allowing it! Wow! We both publish Maldives blogs at the exact same time. Yours I enjoyed because it was a completely different perspective than mine, but we came away the same. What a place eh? I love the Maldivians. Kokko sounds amazing I struggled to write about Male because it was such an assault on my senses after I spent so much time on a quiet peaceful boat. I just wanted to get out of there. Your blog made me reappreciate it, so thank you. Happy travels.

Thanks for your comment, Andrea. You also had quite a trip in the Maldives. Such a fascinating place—the wildlife, the people and their culture. I wanted to go because I know this is one of those places that will change drastically in coming years.
