A Holiday in Malta with Kids
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 19 October 2011
Malta is a shy little archipelago suspended in the middle of the Med. Its modesty is part of its charm, but boy does it have a lot it could brag about. One of its islands is home to what is thought to be the oldest free-standing building in the world. The Egyptian pyramids and Britain’s Stonehenge are youthful in comparison. If America were lucky enough to find the Ġgantija temples on its soil, it would have turned them into a prehistoric theme park, transporting visitors back to its creation in around 3200 BC.

This is a guest post written by Ela Krawczykowska, a London-based freelance journalist from Poland. She loves learning languages, travelling, music and exploring different cultures.

Lady in Malta
Blog: A Lady in London - 28 April 2011
Ten years ago I had no idea where Malta was. In fact, I had never even heard of it. When the activities director from my school in Nice told me that she was going to Malta for the weekend, I was too embarrassed to ask her where it was. Later I asked a friend, who [...]

Cruise baby!
Blog: photito's blog - 23 March 2011
Cruising is not for me. Or so I thought. I was convinced cruise ships were the equivalent of five star resorts on land. A place you go to be served and pampered – and equipped with blinkers for what goes … Continue reading →

How Not To Enjoy World Travel – Part 2
Blog: Vagobond.com - 24 September 2010
Don't read anything about the country of place you are going to. That way you won't understand the culture, the traditions, the history, the climate, or anything else. You will be able to have a completely one dimensional experience.

Aventine Hill
Blog: Ron in Rome - 29 August 2010
After the chaos, traffic and noise of centro Roma, head to Aventine Hill for a wonderful break. Getting there is a little bit of a challenge (an uphill walk) but once you’re there, you’ll be glad you came. It’s quiet, peaceful, pleasantly calm, and gives you great views of the city. As you reach the [...]

Pictures take you places – Why it’s difficult to take beautiful photos in Malta
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 26 July 2010
Since ex-English students seem to make up half of my face book friends, I tend to see a ridiculous amount of Malta photos, and I always find myself thinking the same thought. My country is so not photogenic. Attempts at taking pictures of the lovely bays and beaches almost always result in construction cranes or [...]

Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 11 July 2010

10 things to do in Malta this Summer: Get yourself on a boat
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 10 July 2010
8. Get yourself on a boat Many people will find that Malta is more beautiful when seen from the deck of a boat, and on a clear summer’s day, this is definitely the case. Considering that a markedly semi-arid climate means that vegetation and greenery are not an integral part of the landscape, it is the coastline, with [...]

10 things to do in Malta this summer – Work on your tan
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 8 July 2010
6) Work on your tan I will immediately end your misery by saying that NO, St. George’s Bay (St. Julians) is not the only beach in Malta (don’t think I’m exaggerating or making a fuss – I”ve actually been told this by tourists as if it were 100% fact). In fact, it’s not even a real beach, but [...]
