Earlier in the year we gave you the chance to win a trip to the Maldives on board the Ocean Divine. Fresh from their Maldivian adventure and with the good vibes still rolling, competition winner Rachel Appelo and her best friend Cierra dropped us a line to share a few of their favorite moments.

From surfing with Rosy Hodge to keeping a ukelele beat with Tom Carrol, these girls were in good company during their unforgettable experience at sea.

Take a look at the clip and cross your fingers that the next time we have a trip of a lifetime up for grabs that you might be the lucky winner!

“Truly, those seven days aboard the Ocean Divine were pure bliss with no responsibilities and all day to be in the water. The vacation was a reset button for my mental and emotional health and I returned to work feeling quite revitalized and even inspired.”

“Apart from surfing, we dove with mantas, sea turtles, tropical fish and incredible sea life.”

“Thanks for the beautiful escape. ROXY, you rock.”
