Memories from my violinist travel diary.
Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by weddings. The fairytale-like decorations, the grandeur of evening dresses, and the blushing brides walking down the aisle all captivated my heart. As I pursued my passion for music and enrolled in conservatory years, I began performing at as "Maldives Violinist" during summers, which helped me gain experience and hone my skills.

It was eight years ago when I received the booking to play at this exquisite wedding venue, and little did I know that it would be the beginning of a remarkable journey as a wedding violinist, taking me to various countries around the world.

Traveling as a wedding violinist has not only allowed me to see the world but has also given me the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. Through my music, I have been able to communicate and share emotions with people, even when we don't speak the same language. It has been a humbling experience to see the power of music to create connections and foster love and happiness.
Of course, along with the incredible experiences, there have been challenges too. Traveling to different countries for performances requires meticulous planning, dealing with logistics, and adapting to new environments. However, the joy of sharing my music with people from different cultures and witnessing the joy on their faces has made it all worthwhile.

It has been a dream come true, and I am excited for the adventures that lie ahead in my future performances around the world.
