Nicola Aliani was born in Italy in 1958. She was a restless spirit from a young age, and she longed to explore the world. In her early 20s, she set off on a solo adventure to India. It was there that she met a group of people who were planning to sail to the Maldives. Aliani decided to join them, and thus began her journey to the remote island of Fuvahmulah.

Fuvahmulah is a small island located in the Indian Ocean, about 200 miles south of the Maldives. The island is home to a small population of fishermen and farmers. Aliani quickly fell in love with the island's beauty and its people. She decided to stay on Fuvahmulah, and she soon became known as Albatross. The locals gave her this nickname because of her long, flowing hair, which they said resembled the wings of an albatross.
