magic hands in maldives.
mati is from hawaii kai and is one of the top masseuses in hawaii. how
do i know? well, first of all, she’s completed a few Ironmen
competitions so she knows what muscles needs to be worked on, and
second, she works on a few friend athletes from japan and hawaii that
only use the best. she has some magic hands that has been fixing up my
body that i’ve been beating up over all these years. for 2 weeks
straight, i’ll be getting a massage everyday right here in paradise.
we traveled here together from hawaii and all we talk about is how lucky
we are. to be on the other side of the world doing what you love to
do. for mati, it’s massages and training. for me, it’s diving and
surfing. watching her going to japan and here for the first time is
really funny for me. why? because it reminds me of the first time i
went to japan and the maldives. everything was “OH MY GOSH!!!” japan
was 21 years ago, maldives was 6, but everything feels so new and
fresh. not too many people from hawaii get to experience what we are
and because of that, we’re loving every minute, every breath, and every
day. the only bummer thing is that we will both be sad when this is all
over. but then again, there’s always next year? haha.
