Malta, Solo travel
Malta felt extremely safe, although it is a country built for tourists. Despite this it was nice walking around Valetta, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Visiting the prehistoric temples around the islands was also very interesting. I would skip the blue lagoon and go hiking in other beaches which are less touristy. There is a local hiking group which organises hiking trips every Sunday at a low price

Malta in October was perfect. The whether was breezy Mediterranean. Not too touristy. Perfect for a day cruise to Gozo and Comino from the main island. Medina and Rabat are a must day trip. You should plan to stay at Sliema or Valetta. Avoid staying at St. Julian (party neighborhood) if you’re looking for calm nights lol.

I visit in February and felt very safe for my first solo trip, I stayed in St. Paul’s Bay but traveled around the island and Gozo and felt fine no matter where I went on the island. The locals were welcoming and friendly and helpful.

Birkirkara is a nice town in Malta, mainly residential, so it’s really calm. Have good transportation to Valleta and it’s well connected to other cities. St. Helen church is a nice place to see around here

Quite safe place to travel. No major crime rate. Did not feel unsafe so far. In general, people don't mess with tourists. Everywhere I went people did not approach me in uncomfortable ways. Advise to visit it.

About me
Hi, I’m Denise, 33, originally from Germany and currently living in Malta even though I moved here without ever having visited. Spoiler: best decision ever. I joined this app because I love connecting with people, hearing their stories, learning about different cultures, and seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. Nature makes me happy, deep talks energize me, and I’m always up for a spontaneous adventure (especially if there’s good food involved). I have ADHD, which basically means I’ve collected more hobbies than some people own socks. Gardening, painting, writing, hiking, photography, language learning it all depends on the phase I’m in. Right now, I’m into succulents and planning a big trip through Asia to explore meditation, local traditions, and hopefully some spiritual wisdom that doesn’t require me to sit still for too long. One day, I’d love to host retreats and organize cultural trips that combine travel with mental well-being and personal growth. Until then, I’m just out here exploring, meeting kind souls, and collecting stories (and maybe more plants). If you’re into nature, culture, creativity, or just enjoy chatting with slightly chaotic but passionate people — I’d love to hear from you.

About me
I'm currently in university studying English and History undergrad- I really love them and am always eager to rattle on about anything history and literature related! I never turn down an opportunity to learn about them too, as well as culture, art or things you're passionate about. I enjoy getting to know people and different life experiences. I also just had a gap year where I travelled around Europe and did WWOOFing, which has made me fall in love with travelling and lean into things with more curiosity and a desire to learn, whatever it may be about. Nature has always been something dear to me, as well as advocating for minority groups in whatever way that I can. On another note, one of my favourite things to do is taking care of other people and especially baking for them or with them! I'm always looking for the chance to do so hehe
