With the exception of one person, they all ended up in Malta for jobs. The lady of 10 years clearly isn’t happy. And as she said, the last 3 years she has seen nothing good happen there. Hardly anyone moves there for a happy, peaceful, clean life. They used to, but not anymore. I lived there but recently left. Dirty, over crowded, concrete, corrupt jungle! Good video Alex 👍
Hey hey :) thanks. I get similiar comments like yours from time to time and i respect everyones opinion. Im gathering more of this comments so i can conclude my opinion and do a video about the cons of Malta, as honestly the cons im experiencing are bare minimum. Thank you🙏🏻
@ Water Gate. Same thing here. My husband couldn't take it anymore. He was going nuts. People are mostly rude and they are bad drivers too. He almost got killed a few times in 3 months we lived there😢
All the locals are going nuts! Too many people, we are overpopulated guys and this channel is not helping with the problem!!!!! Using Malta as a decoy for subscribers and followers is as bad as it gets. At least make a video on the reality here! How construction works has been driving people crazy for the past years because the demand for flats and accommodation is rising crazily
@@grail27 Yeah it’s a total disaster, it’s a commercial, corrupt, polluted piece of land in the Mediterranean run but Crooks and greedy politicians. We sold every inch Maltese soul practically. Yes, we have good jobs, but inflation is still too high here and it just keeps getting higher every week. Traffic is a nightmare. Homocides are becoming more frequent. There is no justice for women in our courts. We have shitty laws dictating what to do with women’s bodies. Pollution is also crazy, all the dust from construction, the exhaust from cars and ships and airplanes. Sea water is filled with fish farm waste. Tap water is practically 99% chlorine and the list goes on.. 😭
For me; better quality of life, lower cost of living and more choice of industries to work in compared to where I am from. I do get very homesick but a visit back home just reminds me why I left and I am always so happy when the plane returns and I look down on Malta just before we land :)
Alex I give you 10 points out of ten . You are one of the best travelling Vloggers on RU-vid. I am from Gozo and I wish you to stay with us ,and be part of the Maltese population.
Hey Anthony, i am happy you enjoyed this video, and hey :) guess what, i am living in Malta and i already did a vlog of your beautiful island Gozo, here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-esDkmoULURI.html
Thought you might like to know that I am moving to Malta from sunny California because of the Digital Nomad visa. I am able to work anywhere since all I need is a computer. I visited Malta in 2006 and loved it, and now I have the means and the proper visa to live here. Why not? I think it will be more fun than my current life and half the cost of living! Love ya Alex! I hope we meet when I get there in January.
I dont know how I could get in touch with you but I would love too! I'm in south florida and malta is on my radar. I dont know if its possible to send a private message through youtube. Would love to hear your 1 month update
@@mlwelter hi, it’s me Savana in Malta. I started a Facebook group called Savana Moves to Malta. If you go to FB then groups and search that name you’ll be approved. I’m putting all my thoughts and insights plus tons of picture and comments there. Answering questions too! See ya there! Hi Alex!
Hi Alex. It is nice that you are promoting Malta. There is one thing you are not informing your spectators. It's the high price they have to pay for accomodation. They should be informed also not to go before the they have a secure job.
Hey. Thanks for commenting, just to clarify, im not promoting, im giving the real picture on whats going on, with this being said, i guess you missed on this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xkr2ETzvJZk.html
Thanks for sharing! I'm dreaming of visiting Malta! Didn't know there were so many people from other countries living there. Waiting for the second chapter! Haha xo from 🇦🇷
I moved to Malta and have been here for almost a year. I moved here when I got married. My wife is Maltese. I came from Florida in the USA. I love it here despite the difficulties like traffic and the dense population. Actually, even though there is more traffic here than where I came from, I like it better here because traffic is slower. And I love how you can get anywhere in Malta within a short drive. We used to have to drive hours to get anywhere we wanted to go in the USA. Also I love that I can get a doctor to come to my house instead of me having to always go to a doctor at a clinic. The medical system in the USA is terrible. Medical treatment and care is much cheaper here in Malta and is very good. I also got my teeth fixed here in Malata for a tiny fraction of what I would have paid in the USA and the dentist saved one of my teeth that the US dentist wanted to extract. Yes some things are more expensive like whem buying products. We pay much more for some things but its because everything has to be shipped in to Malta. Also you have no access to Amazon Prime and shipping is more expensive to have anything shipped to you. One thing I really mis in the USA are the wild places. There are very little wild locations in Malta and the biodiversity here is very small compared to the biodiversity in Florida or other places in the USA. I miss the wildlife and the forests but its a tradeoff and we can always travel to visit wild place. The people are very kind, as many as I have met. I love how religious the country is. There are churches, chapels, and cathedrals everywhere. My wife's family are wonderful. There is an incredible amount of history in Malta and there are so many historical places to discover. Overall I really love it in Malta but I would have gone wherever my wife was to be with her. I am a writer and an artist, You can find my books at the following link if your interested. God bless you. www.justask.church
I have been living in Malta for 2 years now, I came because of the berthing fees so I can live on my boat but still stay shoreside for days without spending crazy money unlike in the UK and unlike the UK. Malta has warm oceans so I can sit on my boat with a beer and just enjoy the sun. Can also go to another beautiful coastal country thats right next door
Hey Mark, thanks a lot for your comment, yes, all of my videos are fillmed in 4K and i do try to give the best possible content out there. Thanks for your support
It would be sensible for Danika from Bulgaria to realise that her very presence there is part of the problem of overcrowding which she is lamenting about. Then she might understand why people are a little annoyed about the irony of her complaints. Unless of course she thinks that she is indispensable and therefore has more right than anyone else to be there contributing to the problem.
bhaaaaahahahaha this made me laugh out loud, a literal LOL. People that age and generation really struggle with ego and mindfulness. Best to pay their opinions no mind.
@@pred7949 People of that age and generation are old and experienced enough not to spend time worrying about what everyone else says or thinks. They will be honest, and if you do not like what they say, they do not care. I would prefer honesty to 'mindfulness'.
She doesn't seem to be a pleasant person. I have had some of her compatriots as neighbours. Unfortunately they always seem sad, never greet their neighbours like we do as our part of our social custom. If people are unsociable and act so bizarrely , why do they go to other countries when the culture and societal behaviour is so different?
Hi Alex 🤣 I love your video you tell everyone open That's i love ❣️ and tell good information gives. All over the world people and I am happy to see your video always Thanks Mr Alex Love Sir From Kampala Uganda 🇺🇬👍🙏
I came to visit my uncle here, liked it so I stayed. I sometimes regret it because I miss my family but overall Malta is great for life. My uncle has been living here for over 20 years, he's got citizenship and all, but how I know he is true Maltese? When you try to criticize something about Malta he just says "go back to your country" ;D
Hello Alex thank you so much for highlighting my town of Hamrun. Indeed it’s super fun, lots of laughter with a sprinkle of rough around the edges. Keep doing the videos! You are super funny 🥰!!!
As always Alex, I enjoy watching your videos! Although Maltese being the fact I was away from Malta long time and now I am back myself pleases me listening to others knowing how they feel here! Now is the time we ask you 😀
You have to make a video about the bad things in Malta, too. We come here and have no idea how maltese people hate foreigners and how the English accent in the streets is difficult to understand.
Our Maltese family left Malta in 1967 for Sydney and we never looked back. My last visit to my birthplace was the nail in the coffin and a total waste of three weeks. I have visited over 45 countries and Malta now ranks at the very bottom.
@@ezalator9653 Malta has become overcrowded with about one million tourists before COVID with only two sandy beaches. Sliema is now a jungle of high-rise. A few tourist operators jack up prices during summer. The road are always congested and very narrow. Public transport was dismal back in 2006 my last visit.
@@ezalator9653 do not let people like this scare you. Malta is a beautiful country, warm weather and wonderful beaches. People like him remember malta as a different place since he has left in the 60's, change happens over 50 years. It is normal!
Malta - overpopulated and over-constructed. I am happy that all of you wonderful people found happiness in Malta but I am also sad with how my home country has become, it’s a disaster really. Air pollution, land pollution, drainage problems due to over construction. People from all over the world come to earn money and live safely here yet us Maltese are dying out slowly. Our culture, traditions, nature, everything is fucked really. We do not see a future for our children here. I love that people are happy here but please don’t glamorize moving to Malta 🙏🏽
@Ravinninja doesgaming Highly agreed, however, we have greedy people and even greedier politicians. I do my best to raise awareness, but my voice alone is not strong enough :(
Love your videos on Malta which I have shared with my niece as she wants to travel there one day. I live at the foot of the Blue Mountains, Sydney Australia. My mother came from Valletta and my father from Gozo.
Hi Alex 🇲🇰. Good & Interesting vlog my friend ☺. Donnika, please do not get upset re when you're told "to go back where you came from" 😂.I'm Maltese and got told that in every country that I lived in including currently in "multicultural' Australia. I do admit sometimes it does hurt! THANKS ALEX 👏 👏 👏 Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™ ✈
i am glad you enjoyed it, yes the GBTYC is popular world wide hahah, i think nowadays we laugh on that phrase rather get offended. Thanks for watching and hope one day i could be there and do video in AUS
@@AlexinMalta Sorry Alex, hopefully🤞 I won't be here as I plan to move back to Malta next year 🇦🇺 ✈ 🇲🇹 - that's why I watch your videos (I'm retired) 😉. "Congratulations re your mention on LovinMalta 🌟" . Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Alex, the question is 'Why did you move to Malta'? ('to' is for a direction). I moved to teach English (ha ha!)... though in fact now the school has closed I am opening a shop (in Gozo, actually). Keep filming!
Hey hey :) to be honest i filmed my part for this video and i kept it at the end, but then i realized i should better make a dedicated video on WHY did i move to Malta :) congrats on the opening of your shop, i wish you a success 🤩
@@authenticitymarketing7229 Wow! Please hit me up when (when are you coming?) you can. I actually live on Gozo though! My shop is in the centre of Victoria, called 'Miracles' (statues from different cultures and faiths, scented candles, incense sticks, greeting cards - many I make by hand, angels, pictures, etc) which a friend of mine presently in the UK had in a different location before Covid. Trouble with the school was that as people come from abroad, Covid made it really one of the worst industries to be in and Gozo is a poor relation when it comes to visiting Malta! Teaching, however, is my first love and real vocation. Don't know which part of the US you are from, but expect very hot summers here - more like TX than CA, for instance, though the humidity is the worst part. I am from England so not used to so much sun! Look forward to meeting you.
Mary 🇦🇺🙋♀️ very interesting video, I was born in Malta I was 18 months old when my family came to 🇦🇺 so I lived in 🇦🇺 for 68 years some Australians still don’t want us here 😘 or they ask where u from 😘 and when I’m in 🇲🇹 they ask where u from 😘wish I lived in Malta, if it wasn’t for my family I would, thanks for video glad your happy there,♥️♥️🇲🇹♥️♥️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️👍👍👍
hey Alex nice to see your video make us understand Malta is perfect place to live where all thinks are just wonderful birds are singing and the flowers are blooming but is not true ! because every place has are pros and coins especially now in pandemic time ! Next time i suggest you ask people who want to leave Malta and why
Hi Alex, great video. You are very friendly and personable 😄 I am Maltese and I live in Canada 🇨🇦 I've been to Malta 🇲🇹 twice, in 1973 and 1981. It is a beautiful island, filled with culture, sunshine, and fantastic food. I'm planning on visiting in 2023 and am expecting to see many changes to the island. I will be looking out for you. Sahha 😊
0:54 to 1:19 seconds the bgm was incredible.. And at 1:10 ur walk slow moment was like a male film lead actor intro of Indian film stars alex..... Ur simply awesome man... Alex on🔥
After attempting to buy a historic home to restore, I found the government, particularly the historic commission, to be extremely anti-American and the locals to be generally xenophobic. I love Malta and this was very sad for me and my family.
Yap, its everywhere, funny enough In my home country, people from the capital city Skopje are telling all the others to go back to their fields and villages 😂
Where are you from? What do you do for a living? Your English is perfect!!! I will travel to Malta very soon, I am going to improve my English😊 great video!!!
It's all nice but in the end, if you want to travel somewhere in Europe you'd need to take a plane because with a car is a long drive and the island/country it's like detached from Europe...
Been here 14 years not that happy. Was happy in the beginning but to be honest once you move to a new country it’s always nice in the beginning. Came here because at the time I had been living in Libya, being a young woman there was not convenient and Malta was in the perfect location for my family to visit. Malta Has change drastically over the years. Describing Malta In a few words is pollution pollution pollution!! This country Is a Concrete jungle now. Air is not clean. To many cars (and no parking) bad roads and bad drivers that don’t respect the rules. Living expenses are not as cheap as you believe, they are quite high with low wages. I know Maltese will tell me go back to my country, because that’s how they are and that’s all they know how to say. But currently I’m working in a good job with good colleagues. Also to point out I don’t think people will be 💯 honest with you knowing that your making a video and saying the truth about being happy here or not. Most of the foreigners I know say a whole different story 🙂
