Discount dreams vs monsoon reality: Is the Maldives low season worth it?
The Maldives is a popular island destination; however, travelling during the low season can come with challenges. Image: Unsplash The Maldives is a tropical island destination. If you want an affordable getaway, it's advisable to travel during the low season. But what is the low season like? Travel content creator Antonio Pozo shared his experience visiting the Maldives during this time. He posted a video on Instagram titled "POV: You book a trip to the Maldives in low season". In the video, Pozo swims in an infinity pool on an overwater bungalow during a tropical cyclone. Waves crash against the shore under dark grey skies. 'Maldives in low season - aka Typhoon Season 🌧️🌪️ But nothing beats a Jet2holiday™… right? 😂,' he joked. Comments on Pozo's post reflect mixed reactions. One user, @drponikowska_genetyk, said: 'I booked an off-session (cheap) trip to India, got chikungunya (tropical illness). Great deal.' Another user, @christine_philip, commented: 'That's actually quite cool.' @ added: 'Bro got half price and a nature spa treatment for free, what a deal, man.' The low season in the Maldives generally spans from May to October, coinciding with the rainy season. During this period, you can find more affordable prices on accommodations and flights. When visiting the Maldives during the low season, expect higher humidity and increased rainfall. You may encounter short, intense showers or storms. With fewer tourists during this time, the low season can be ideal for those seeking a tranquil escape. Budget-friendly deals abound as many resorts offer discounts, complimentary transfers or even room upgrades. Visitors can still enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Maldives, with opportunities to spot impressive marine life, including whale sharks and manta rays, despite reduced water visibility. The south-westerly winds create larger waves, making it a great time for surfing, so before booking a travel package, consider these factors.

Priscilla Nkoane: how a Bloemfontein girl became Durban's go-to travel and lifestyle influencer
Priscilla Nkoane (26) is Bloemfontein born influencer carving a name for herself finding the best that Durban has to offer in food and travel. "I create content about food, lifestyle, and travel," says Nkoane, "with a focus on adding creativity and purpose to everything I share." Originally from Bloemfontein, this dynamic Pedi woman uses her platform to celebrate the beauty found in everyday moments. In the heart of Durban, 26-year-old Priscilla Nkoane is carving a niche as a prominent lifestyle and travel content creator. Motivated by the fresh opportunities each new day presents, Nkoane wakes up every morning thankful for the chance to try again. "Every day is another opportunity to come closer to my goals," she shares. This stirring hope fuels her passion for content creation, providing her with avenues to learn and engage with diverse communities through vibrant experiences. Her love for fun shines particularly through her favourite local and international destinations. "Cape Town is absolutely breathtaking; the views, the food, the vibe - it's like a little escape," Nkoane observes. She contrasts this with the tranquillity of Switzerland, a favourite international getaway where the mountainous landscape feels like stepping into a living postcard. Nkoane's journey into content creation began during one of the most challenging periods of her life. "I had just lost my job and my Instagram account, which felt like everything was falling apart," she recalls. But from this turmoil emerged a fresh start. "Starting over allowed me to create something new and authentic. I began sharing everything I had previously been afraid to post, ultimately building a space that truly reflects my passions." Her platform is driven by a desire to connect and inspire. "I've always believed there's power in sharing - being open, relatable, and real," she notes. Nkoane seeks to be a beacon of encouragement for young women, emphasising that there is space for everyone's unique journey in the industry. However, the digital landscape is not without its challenges. Nkoane candidly addresses the jealousy that can sometimes plague female creators. "I really don't agree with that mindset. I focus on my own journey and protect my peace," she affirms, managing to steer clear of unhealthy competition by concentrating on her goals and aspirations. In her journey, Nkoane draws inspiration from figures like Robyn-Leigh Mentor, whose positive energy and authenticity resonate deeply with her. "Robyn's grace and gratitude remind me to stay grounded as I pursue my passions," Nkoane reflects, underscoring the importance of community support. To young aspiring creators contemplating their digital presence, Nkoane has valuable advice: "Nobody is paying as much attention to your life as you think, so post that thing you're afraid to post. Create because it brings you joy, not for validation." It is in this authenticity that true magic lies.
