Hey! My name is Mark. I’m Maltese and was born in Malta although I feel more European than Maltese to be honest. In fact, I’ve very recently moved to Brussels. I’ve been wanting to set up a travel blog for a very long time and decided to do so in 2020.
I travel frequently to a different place each time and I would like to share with you my experiences, both good and not so good, about my travels. I still remember my first holiday abroad at the tender age of 7, when, together with my parents and brother, I flew to Catania in nearby Sicily. I can still recall my awe at looking down some of the main craters of that most majestic of volcanoes, Mt Etna. Unfortunately, I also recollect the many hours we trudged around markets and shops! Ironically, I actually enjoy shopping around and visiting markets today!
Throughout the years, I’ve been to many countries and to even more cities. Most of them are in Europe although my vision is to go beyond that in the future. I’ve climbed mountains, swam in rivers and lakes, found love in North Macedonia and Morocco, and even had my rented car broken into in Liverpool and my bags, passport and all personal belongings taken off me! But that’s another story, which I will one day narrate!
I normally travel solo and on a tight budget although I do partner with other travellers on occasion. My plan is to visit EVERY country in Europe, from the cold but fiery wastes of Iceland right down to the oriental feel of Kazakhstan. It might be a tall ambition but I’m almost there as I’ve already been to most countries in Europe. Of course, once I do that, I will widen my horizons.
I would love to take you with me on my life’s journey and share my experiences with you and give you tips on how to travel. I also want to share with you my many photos of the lovely places I’ve been to. I’m no professional photographer but I do have an eye for detail. In fact, I sometimes surprise even myself, if I may say so.
In any case, I hope you enjoy browsing through my travel blog and reading my articles. I appreciate any suggestions or tips that you may have and will try to implement them in one way or another if possible. You can also read more about me here.
