@@steves7013 We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed this video, Steve. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and we hope you have an awesome week! xx🙏😍😁🙌
Thanks for thr beautiful views of prisine water and golden beaches..... helps us get through the blah November days. Hope you are regaining your health Lee.❤
@@ClareGaboury We are so happy that these videos are coming out just before the Northern Hemisphere winter, as we're also getting great delight from them here in Portugal 🇵🇹😍 Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Lee's feeling much better and is slowly gaining weight... the focus now is on healing the stomach issues and getting him back to 72kg 🤗😁. I'm sure the sun and good food in Perth over Christmas will work wonders xx♥️
@@lbunnygordon1133 That is so wonderful to hear, thank you, and it's exactly what we're aiming for with our videos. We want to show how it's possible to travel to amazing places on a low budget, which is why we think it's so important to show prices and practical information. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. They really help our channel both in terms of giving the algorithm a boost, and also in making us so happy when we get a burst of positivity from your kind words xx🙏🥰😍
Maldives are definitely affordable for every budget. It's on my bucket list too, just need to find the time lol. Thanks for sharing, great practical info.
@@cindybruin4888 I'm so pleased you've found these Maldives videos helpful, Cindy. It's an incredible country and we'll so be returning as would love to visit more of those beautiful local islands 🏝️
I really enjoyed this ! Thank you for another great video 🙌 What I’m doing lately is I watch a video of yours while I’m eating my breakfast in the Morning before I start my busy day with the kids, and it’s such an inspiration! 😅 xx
@@michellel3348 You are so lovely, Michelle 😍 Thank you so much for your wonderful comments... we always look forward to hearing from you, and it's so cool to know that our videos are now part of your morning routine! It'll be interesting to hear your feedback on the older videos,and to find out how much you think we've changed xx😁🤗🥰
@@peterdnreynolds777 Thank you so much, Peter! It's always so wonderful to see your comments, as they're always so lovely and supportive. We hope this finds you well and that you have a great weekend 🤗♥️
@@Karenemm1 Karen, you are so lovely! Thank you so much for being one of our favourite people... I don't know what we'd do without your wonderful comments to look forward to... and I really hope you know just how much we appreciate your kindness and support. Huge hugs from Lee and I xx🤗🥰
@gregz3796 Oh, that's so lovely to hear! Thank you so much... by doing that and by writing comments, you are so helping our channel, and we appreciate it more than words can say! Have a wonderful weekend... and we hope you enjoy the first India video next week. It's even shorter... Lee's made a 9 minute video 😁🙌
You certainly are morning people! That's a beautiful sunrise, not to be forgotten. I never expected the food to be a highlight of your trip but it has looked delicious. You really lucked out with your Couchsurfing hosts (you always do!). They seemed so lovely and down to earth. Lee, how do you feel meeting fellow Brits aboard? This is a beautiful vlog because Lee is so lively. How were the prices to India? Did you have to check in your luggage?
@@savingfortravel698 Hello Julie 👋 Yes, we have been so blessed with our Couchsurfing hosts, and loved spending time with Tom and Kaelin. They're currently teaching in China and are looking forward to trying Couchsurfing themselves 🤗😁 The food in the Maldives was surprisingly good! The tuna there is delicious, and can be had in so many different ways for every meal. Lee was definitely in his happy place in the Maldives... there'll be a slow but steady deterioration in the upcoming India and Pakistan videos. I can't remember if Lee mentioned the price of the flight from Malé to Kochi in next week's video. If he didn't, I'll add it to my first Fort Kochi videos,as I think I'll be making a couple. I hope this finds you well, Julie, and that you're having a great weekend xx🤗😍
Hi Mandy and Lee. Thank you for your very interesting videos about the Maldives. I am planning on visiting in April 2025 and found your tips very helpful, especially choosing an island to stay at. As I'll probably have a day to spend in Male before flying out, can you tell me where you left your luggage when you did your day trip to Villimale before you went to the airport. Safe travels.
Dear Mandy and Lee, thanks for the lovely videos (informative) on the places that you both went to in Maldives. I'll be going there soon. BTW, as Maldives is an Islamic country, dogs are forbidden. That's why you didn't see any. Just for your info! 👍🏼🙏🏼😉
@@jessicamoo9120 Oh, we are so pleased you enjoyed our Maldives videos as the poor things seem to have fallen under the radar when it comes to being viewed... it's such a shame as we really loved our time there and wanted to share frugal travel tips with everyone. We hope you have an awesome time! Let us know how you got on 🤗🏝️🇲🇻
Another great video guys! Thanks so much for adding $CAD to your currency conversions. Hardly anyone does that and it’s nice not to have to make guesstimates from USD or EUR.
@@carolinacadabra8278 I'm so glad you found the CAD currency conversions helpful, Carolina, and I really appreciate the feedback 🙏🤗 I'm the one who's started doing it so will take all the credit 🤣 I've just read your lovely comment out to Lee... he's trying to work out if he should drop AUD$ or EUR€ but I'll try to convince him to keep them all in! I think it's something we should try to include whenever possible... and am just waiting to get requests for other currencies 😁🙌 ~ Mandy
@carolinacadabra8278 For many of our videos Canadians are the 4th top audience, after the UK, USA and Australia, which is why I've started included $CAD & $AUD on my XE screenshots. Interestingly enough, the only 2 European countries showing up are Germany and Portugal, but they're at 9th and 10th respectively, so it might be a language thing. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the new multi language feature is introduced to UA-cam... we'll either have a wider audience or more competition 😁🤣
@@DillonDelaune That's a great question. We started housesitting in Australia and used both local Facebook groups and we also paid to use Mindahome, an Australian housesitting site. In Portugal we found our house-sits through local Facebook groups. We're talking about spending the next 2 years in Latin America, and will use Trusted Housesitters to find housesits there.
