How did it happen?
At the beginning of this year we made our decision. Decided simply by instinct.
So many friends who also wanted to go to the Maldives asked us what to book, which island we have already visited, what you have to prepare for, how to get there, what vaccinations you need and so on and so on…
As time went by, the thoughts became more frequent and stronger. Shall we do it? Do we want that?
Last year we met a manager in the Maldives who asked us why we weren’t “making something of it”. A trip to the Maldives later, we met another couple (Hi David & Chanel!) who said “Why not? Do it!’, ‘We’re excited to see something from you soon!’.
These discussions gave us further motivation. We realized that we really wanted to do it. It would be just a hobby as we both have full time jobs. Just like others blog about their travels or their recipes, we want to share our passion and experiences.
So we did. The journey began…

First steps
Where should we start? How do we want to call ourselves? What name do we want for our channels and for our website? The name for “us”?
There were only two or three names on the shortlist. To be honest, we didn’t have to think long. It quickly became clear that we are the “Maldives Lovers”. We then signed up on social media, which we want to be active on later. Of course, Instagram was clearly in first place and one of our first channels.
In order to keep an eye on everything, we created a checklist with the points that we have to take care of in advance: starting with the legal, through fundamentals for the start, to the wishes that we want to implement.

The logo & our slogan
One thing was very important to us: we wanted to “create” Maldives Lovers and that definitely includes an individual logo.
So we painted – yes, painted. We made sketches on paper and in Paint on the notebook and had a pretty clear picture of what our logo needed to express. Of course THE colors could not be missing: the white sandy beach, the turquoise lagoon, the blue ocean and the green of the palm trees. This inspired our slogan “feel the colors!”.
To bring our logo from a sketch to the screen, we hired a professional designer.
