After seeing the winner announcement on Kandima’s Instagram page, my wife and I were over the moon. As we jumped with joy, we shared this news with our family, and everyone here has been so happy for us!

Last year, on my honeymoon in the Maldives, I told my wife that – ‘one day I’m going to live here‘… Dreams do come true! What an incredible journey it has been from start to finish. I’ve enjoyed every moment of the ‘365 Days in Paradise‘ contest.
