A trip to the Bavarian Alps

Snapshots from the Countryside

Malta… My Home Country
Since moving abroad, the people I meet frequently express their curiosity about the little island I call home. A few have been curious enough to plan a trip to explore the Maltese Islands in person. Seb and I started to put together a few tips, that eventually evolved into a short guide for our…
