  • There are some common mistakes that people do when they move to Malta and in this video i am sharing information on which mistakes to avoid when moving to Malta. I asked the Expats community what are some of the mistakes they have done when they moved to Malta. Some common mistakes were that people moved in the more central part of Malta where it is noisy and crowded. Others said that they underestimate the cost of living in Malta, it is more expensive than you think! Watch the video in full as it has many important points to make your life in Malta easier!

    One more video, nice.❤ friendship in Malta- yes, good idea. When everyone see each other as a competition, staying away from people from other countries like they are sick or something, stabing in a back from own people and community, and others, because of job…interesting topic!😅👍 Hm, but it’s probably the same everywhere.🤔I would really like to hear your guests from all over the world what would they say about making friends there. But friends from “other countries “. Waiting for that video…don’t keep me waiting toooo looong.😘 Pozdrav od Nataše!

    Thanks for this particular video and the others like it that you have produced. They are very informative and gives us lots of ideas to consider. I am Maltese born and live in Australia and have recently retired. When you read comments as you did in this Vlog I always ask "did the person that wrote that work in Malta or are they retired?". For me Malta would have been a nightmare when I was still employed as I can earn easily 4 times as much in Australia. Now having retired and made my money in Australia retiring in Malta is extremely attractive. So maybe ask people to say whether they work for a living or are retired to give us some insight to their comments. Thanks again.

    I'm originally from Austria, living here since a bit more than a month now.
    So far I don't regret my decision even when I was almost hit by a car that was driving on the wrong side... on my third day here 😂
    I was talking with a Filipino bolt driver recently about the traffic here ... and we both laughed about it because both us know how the traffic in Manila is like 😂
    I love seeing all these stray cats round here n also how some people take care of them with food
    My biggest mistake so far was not realizing how big the price ranges here can be since there are no regulations, no matter if it's about apartment food or whatsoever.
    But like I said I don't regret my move here so far
    Keep up the good work Alex

    Alex, continued thanks for the videos you take time to produce! Let me just jump in here and say that in terms of age, my wife and I probably represent a distinct minority in your audience....so I totally understand why your focus is typically on the needs of younger people with career aspirations. But IF we were to move to Malta (or even Gozo), we would be in retirement. In other words, no need for night clubs, bars, upscale shopping, etc. Primary needs would circle around convenient access to good grocery shopping (not just a small "Mom & Pop shop") and also close to hospitals/doctors/medical care. Also, here's a question I've long meant to ask you: what do our fellow dog owners do when living in Malta? Obviously, we need to be courteous and responsible and pick up after our pets...no question about that. But so many towns (I see via Google Street View) are block after block of densely-built houses and apartments with 1-meter wide sidewalks on 3-meter wide streets...pavement, pavement, pavement! Far, far away from a single blade of grass!

      Alex I hope you don't mind me commenting on this question?
      I have lived in both. Malta for 10 years and Gozo for 4.
      They are like night and day to make a long story short.
      Malta has so much more to offer than Gozo, nightlife, restaurants, beaches, shopping, bars, historical places, all kinds of activities, I could go on and on.
      Gozo is very quiet. Most stores excluding the small shopping centers, still close from 2 to 4pm. There are not enough beaches in my opinion. Most restaurants only open from 6pm especially in the winter months.
      Meeting new people is much more difficult than Malta because most are either gozitan and have their own group of friends and family or are just tourists for the day. No nightlife to speak of on a regular basis.
      If you can do without these things than Gozo is the place for you. IMO it's a good place for a short visit or if you live for people who are retired.
      That all said I miss Malta especially when I just want to go out for a drink at any time of the day or evening and all my favourite beaches and just sitting at a cafe in sliema people watching.😊
