Maldives Travel Podcast with Aishath Nazim

This series follows one resident as she settles in the Maldives and travels it the way a local would: slowly, by ferry and on foot, across the flat coral islands. Travelling here means working around the two monsoons, the dry northeast from November to March and the rainy southwest from June to August. Her reports range from the capital Malé, where a third of the population lives, to the southern city of Addu, and on to Baa Atoll’s protected reefs and the isolated island of Fuvahmulah. Each place sits on the same submarine volcanic ridge, yet each has its own relationship with the ocean. The episodes unfold across the two monsoons, returning to places after the dry northeast gives way to the rainy southwest and the currents change. A first visit to an island becomes a second, then a third; knowledge accumulates slowly, as it does when you live somewhere rather than pass through. That rhythm suits an archipelago of 200 inhabited islands where weather and sea state shape everything. Aishath Nazim lives in Maldives and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Aishath is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement. A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers. ☕ Enjoying the show?
