finally ready to go 🚉 🛫
February 19 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C
The saying usually says „the calm before the storm 🌪️..well, but how could it be otherwise—for me, the last few weeks have been exactly the opposite 🤯

After bringing back Basil 🐕‍🦺💙 and a quick stop in Ticino, I am finally on my way to Milan 💺🚉 and then Malta✈️.

My expectations are high 🤩 ..I wish for
- warmer weather and sun ☀️ that warms not only my face
- Seafood 🐠🎣🍤 that was basically still gossiping the morning before I eat it 😅
- nice hikes 🥾🥾 and beautiful views along the coast
- suuunsets 🌅🌅🌅🥰
- and finally just some rest..for both, the body & the soul

Aah..and I just realized I don’t even have an accommodation yet 😱😅

Memo to self 🤪:
- find a bed for tonight
- decide on why and what to do in Malta 😂
- do I need a car ?!?Read more

first impact - looovely!
February 19 in Malta ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
I somehow managed to find a cozy homestay in Birgu (or Vittoriosa? I don’t get the difference..) and I have to say: this part of Malta is exactly what I was looking for and already conviced me.

It is of quiet charm, with winding alleyways (I already got lost twice 😅 and I just arrived…a biiig hooray to Dr Google Maps!) full of colorful wooden doors 🚪🚪 - like 🤩!!
Aannd it seems that nobody else visits Malta in February 🤪Read more
Mmmmh 😋 [Jenny]

strolling through La Valletta
February 20 in Malta ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
Decided to give the quicker crossing by sea🚣 a try.. I arrived 😅, Adrenaline hitting strong..

Before heading up to the Upper Barrakka Gardens and the saluting battery ceremony, I walked along the coast to Fort St. Elmo and the lighthouse, thinking about how much history this tiny capital holds 🙃🙏🏽

At the Upper Barrakka Gardens I paused above the Grand Harbour, watching boats of all kind drift below and the Three Cities glowing across the water, that endless Mediterranean blue - which I love & miss although not loving being in or on the water (😅 hehehe I know I am a contradictory person 😬).Read more

🥾🥾 from Marsascala to Marsaxlokk
February 21 in Malta ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
Wow what a coastline! 🤩 this pretty much sums it up..eheheh..

An almost 9km hike, most of it along the stunning and equally dramatic coastline of Malta!
the Mediterranean below was constantly shifting its shades of turquoise and deep blue ..aawwww🥰💙🩵

The route is raw & beautiful — sometimes rocky, sometimes smooth — always wide open to the sky.

It was a perfect day, even if considering the tiny panic attack that made it impossible for me to proceed to Hofriet Window 😓😅Read more
Traveler Wow!

Mdina, Rabat & Dingli Cliffs
February 22 in Malta ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
The day started with a 😡😠😤🤯🥺 2.5 hr wait for a bus that never came or better: didn’t stop at all 🤬🤬.. I suddenly felt back home in Sicily 😝
Today’s plan was to visit..
1. the “Silent City” Mdina
2. Rabat &
3. the Dingli Cliffs

To sum it up..
1 —> Mdina is ok but nothing special

2 —> Rabat offered a more local rhythm of life, with cozy cafés, historic churches, and really fascinating underground catacombs 🪦🪦 that reveal Malta’s early Christian roots.

3 —> BEAUTIFUL 😍😍 Dingli Cliffs provided the best and so far most breathtaking sunset view 🥰 and I don’t think this can be topped tbh..Read more

Comino Island, Popeye Village & Cliffs
February 23 in Malta ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Last night my friend Nicole arrived on the island and will share the next few days with me 🙃
our first trip was to Comino island - the tiny one between Malta & Gozo 😉. And if you ever find yourself in Malta craving wild beauty and turquoise 😍 water —> make time for it!!

You arrive at the absolutely dazzling Blue Lagoon (too many tourists BUT the water here glows in impossible (!!) shades of blue, clear enough to see every ripple in the sand below - really!!) and it instantly reminded me of my time on the Bahamas 😁.
Basically, Comino is just sea 🌊, sky and rock🪨, which invites you to take it slow and just hike around the island.

After coming back from Comino, we decided to head to see the nearby Popeye Village (the famous wooden film set) and to finish the day with a sunset at Popeye Cliffs 🌅🤩.. the real magic is found THERE along the surrounding cliffs!! Wow wow wow 💙

Blue Grotto & the supposed cliff hike 😓
February 24 in Malta ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Well, this one was not a day for the books… besides the beautiful Blue Grotto, which was the start of our hike (should have been the end of the hike, but we hopped off the bus early because Nice fell sick on the crazy bus ride —> 1st bad decision of the day 😅), really NOTHING went smooth..

…a 12km hike to be remembered for:
“keep out, private property and do not choose this side of the island 😂😂😅”Read more

Manoel Island & La Valletta
February 25 in Malta ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
While Nicole today opted for an easy chill day at the hotel pool ☀️, I went for a short walk to Manoel Island and afterwards visited St. John Cathedral and the Caravaggio 🤩 in La Valletta.
Manoel Island lies between Sliema and Valletta and hosts Fort Manoel - a Fort that is closed and basically collapsing here & there, but that where you can have a quiet and peacefull stroll around and enjoy either La Valletta on the one side or Sliema on the other.

Stepping into St. John's Co-Cathedral ⛪️🔔 is literally like walking into a jewel box 😍!! For those loving this kind of art - go, absolutely go!
The outside is surprisingly plain, but inside 🤩🤩 — gold everywhere, marble tombs beneath your feet and ceilings that demand you stop and simply stare 👀👀 AND wonder how they did this all back then…
But the wow moment was in the quiet side chapel, standing in front of “The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist” by Caravaggio. It’s raw, dark and feels like you were there as well. Worth every euro I paid.Read more

Golden Bay & sunset at Ghajn Tuffieha
February 26 in Malta ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Golden Bay is known for its Malta golden sand, the calm sea and the late afternoon light turning everything soft and golden… now, I don’t really like sand that much (at all tbh) 😝😅 but climbing down the long steps between red cliffs, and watching the sun melt into the horizon, with the sea glowing orange beneath it, was very very nice and the sunset spots around Golden Bay and especially the bay next to it are just 😍😍Read more

Clay Cliffs 🥾🥾—> Pullicino's Cove
February 27 in Malta ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
before flying back home 🥲 Nicole joined me for a last wild hike on Malta’s Northern Coast from the Clay ridges to Pullicino’s Cove — or at least that direction 😂

We started at Baia dell’Occhio di Mela - one of the most beautiful spots in Malta 🩵 - and continued to the clay cliffs.
From the cliffs, we followed the dusty coastal path, a trail that isn’t polished or signposted in a grand way 🤪🥲… it’s the kind of route you “feel & trust” rather than follow 🤯…well…..
At times the path narrowed along steep drops 🥵 and I was DAMN (!!) happy that today there was no wind - I am not sure I would have walked some of those paths with wind 😓🫣.
At others, it opened into wide, rolling plateaus overlooking hidden coves and BEAUTIFUL landscapes. Malta has this way of surprising you. It looks so tiny on a map, but walking it feels expansive 💚

After quite a steady stretch of hiking, and realizing how steep, slippery and loose the descent to Pullicino's Cove would be 😱 we decided to stay on the top and just enjoy the view before making our way back and finishing the day with (finally!! 😅😬) a dip in the sea 👙🌊

Today’s hike with all the adrenaline, colors, silence and beauty from A to Z, will stay with me for sure, and honestly? That’s the Malta🇲🇹 I’ll remember most I think 💚🤩Read more
