Personal Experiences from Fellow Travellers

"Last time in Malta (September 2024) and my wonderful partner proposed to me! It was completely unexpected as we are both 'getting on' and had decided we weren't going to get married having both been married before. It was beautiful! He proposed on a dghajsa halfway across Grand Harbour. We are returning later this year to get married. So excited!" - Gerri Walters

"In the past two years, I spent six months in Malta on an Erasmus program, and it went so well that I moved here last week and have been working here since. A true success story!" - Gyarmati Vivien

"Love Malta! and the people, my first visit was 1978, have visited approximately 40 times now lost count! Last visit was October, just a week but packed so much in that week, hopefully again next year for longer!!" - Rita Moore
