Malta: My Solo Adventure in a Colourful, Historic Paradise
First solo trip to Malta

Malta! What an absolutely epic adventure this solo trip turned out to be. It’s amazing how a place can be bursting with history and vibrant colors, all while feeling like a total burst of sunshine. Even though it’s one of the most bustling spots in Europe, Malta still manages to surprise you with its incredible charm, especially in Valletta. Imagine wandering through quaint streets, each corner a postcard of colorful buildings and hidden gems. It’s the perfect vibe for diving into your own main character energy!

The magic of Malta really comes alive when you let spontaneity lead the way. One night, a chat with a super cool 12-year-old waiter, who’s already a Muay Thai and Taekwondo champ, pointed me toward Mdina Gate and Rabat. Talk about an unexpected adventure! The "City of Silence" was a dream – so historic, unbelievably clean, and just begging to be explored. Then there was Rabat, a place I might have missed if it wasn’t for that young waiter’s tip. It’s these kinds of discoveries, fueled by curiosity and a willingness to go with the flow, that make travel so incredibly rewarding. It’s all about embracing the unknown and letting your adventurous spirit shine!

Even when the weather throws a curveball – like a wild windy day that tried to steal my umbrella! – it’s just another chapter in the adventure. Pushing through those moments, remembering you’re unstoppable, leads to finding those unexpected treasures, like a peaceful cat statue by the deep blue sea. Malta proved to be the perfect place for a first solo journey, making you feel safe and empowered. It’s a reminder that every trip, no matter the weather, is an opportunity to glow, connect, and create unforgettable memories. So, big thanks to Malta for an unforgettable, sun-drenched escapade!

From travel

My first-ever solo trip was to Malta, what a beautiful country, full of history and colour. Despite being one of the most densely populated countries in Europe, it has over 300 churches!

I stayed in Valletta, the old capital, which I found incredibly charming, with its quaint streets and vibrant colours, as you can see in the first four pictures.
