I got published!
After being at the Times of Malta for just over a week, I was asked to conduct my very first feature piece. The nerves ran through me, but I grabbed the bull by its horns and threw myself into the project. For someone who has never written a journalistic piece for a...

A very good place to start… would one not agree? Today I am going to talk you through the beginning of the tale that is me coming to Malta and why I chose to pursue this. Above: Paradise Bay Let us cast our minds back to January this year. After recognising that I...

Bug Bears!
One thing that I would highly recommend whilst being out in Malta, is to bring mosquito repellent! Bugs and insects are one of my biggest nuisances and I always seem to get bitten everywhere that I go! So, to protect yourself from these little critters. I have compiled...

Maltese supermarket tips!
Supermarket Sweep! Upon arriving in Malta, I learnt that finding a really good supermarket would not actually be too difficult! Located near my house is a Smart supermarket. A brand that I had never really heard of until now. It reminds me of ASDA, as it has a lot of...

A little hidden gem
Paradise Bay My first weekend in Malta had to be broken in with some serious tanning. And what better place to do that, than the little hidden gem that is Paradise bay? I had already been told about this hidden-away secret, that apparently is not-so secret. Even still,...

Stage Malta
Stage Malta The only way that I would be here in Malta, is with the help and work from the agency ˗ Stage Malta. They have been incredibly helpful during my time here and also during the application process.

Move Back Please!
Maltese Buses Source ‘Mooooove back please!’ is a phrase that I probably hear every single day. If you’re used to finding a comfortable seat on a bus, without someone standing on your toes or falling into you, then please get ready for the Maltese public transport...

Balancing Your Work and Social Life
I cannot stress enough, the importance of balancing your work and personal life, especially whilst undertaking an internship abroad. The relief of stress that having your own personal time, outweighs that of any monetary gain you may have from also undertaking a...

Do You Want To Go To The Seaside?
The tiny little island of Malta has a lot more on offer than what meets the eye. From its rich heritage, to beautiful architecture, to its white Mediterranean sands, Malta has a lot to explore. On a weekend me and my house mates will normally dedicate a day to the beach...

What To Do After Your Internship?
It might be a little bit deflating knowing that your time abroad might be coming to a close. So, it is best to think about what you can do once you go home, to capture everything that you have achieved whilst being away. Sometimes, as part of your University degree, it...

Isle Of MTV Malta
The Isle of MTV Festival Malta 2018 was a date in the calendar that I had to put down. This event sells out very quickly and sometimes their free tickets can be difficult to obtain. Myself and my housemates scoured the website for weeks in advance of the event, in the...

My Hometown!
It is getting to the point of my internship now where I am really starting to miss home and home comforts. Before coming away to Malta, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some quality time with my family in Malaga, Spain. This time that I was able to have with my...

Visiting The Local Bars
One thing that myself and my housemates had neglected to do for a very long time, was to visit some of the local pubs and bars in Birkirkara, to get a feel for their atmosphere, beverage offerings, customer service and overall night life. So, a quick Google search came...

Visiting Valletta
Exploring the capital The capital city of Malta, Valletta, is hands down one of my favourite cities to visit. The beautiful history and culture that is prevalent within Valletta is one to be awed at. A lot. There are many bus routes that will take you directly into...

Ojen's beauty
Before travelling to Malta my family and I travelled to Malaga, Spain. Spain is one of my favourite countries as its lifestyle and relaxed pace of living is simply sublime. We always try and make time for an annual holiday, whether it be in the UK or abroad. This...

Maltese Nightlife
The best night life in Malta. Before arriving to Malta, I had already heard about some of the night life experiences my friends had had there. All of which were positive, might I add. Night life is something that plays a big role within British society and the lives of...
