Why did i move to Malta and why im still here ?!

Why did i move to Malta ? And why i am still here ? In this video i am giving you my story of why i decided to move to Malta and how is it to live in Malta. Tips and advices for anyone that is planning to make Malta a home. I moved to Malta back in 2015, and the main reason was because of the great weather. At first i used to live in the central part of Malta, Sliema, which is a very touristic area. After fee years of living in Sliema, i bought an apartment and moved to the countryside of Malta in the town called Zurrieq. Very peaceful area where majority of people living there are Maltese. One of the reasons why i am still living in Malta is because i dont feel like a foreign person and the Maltese people accepted me in full. If there is any questions related to life in Malta as an expat let me know in the comment section.
As well, dont forget to download my guidebook:

I moved to Malta one year ago , I was stuck in my home country. You were one of the reasons I eventually made that decision. I quit all my bad habits , got a real good job here and met a lot of new good people and friends. But most important I got the joy in life back ! Thanks Alex

[@AlexinMalta]

Bravo !!! Im happy for you❤️enjoy Malta

Alex, the Maltese Tourist Board should choose you as their official representative, as your passion and enthusiasm for Malta and its people really shines through in your videos about Malta - even though I’ve lived here in Manchester U.K. 21 years, I feel the same way about my native Republic of Ireland, yet also the people of Manchester are worthy of huge praise given the history and heritage of this city - it’s no accident that the Bee is the official symbol of Manchester ❤

Love the video, Alex. You confirmed a lot of things I had been thinking. I barely met any locals when I visited last year - I want to change that when I go back, especially since the ones I did meet were lovely.

[@simonebillings2590]

Very nice video, Alex, and I appreciated the personal stories, which provide you with strong credibility. Like you, when I was initially there, I was in the more touristic St. Julien area, where I actually didn't meet many Maltese although I knew some from work. All the Maltese I met were so friendly and kind at work, but I saw mostly tourists in the neighborhood, even at the grocery store. Then, when I moved to Floriana, I saw and interacted mostly with Maltese and the place I rented was also more traditionally Maltese, and I had to use my limited Maltese sometimes at stores or the bread shop or the vegetable carts. All the Maltese I met in the neighborhoods of Floriana were friendly and kind, too. I can see why you continue to call it home!

[@AlexinMalta]

Thank you Simone for sharing all of this, yes Maltese are very friendly and kind hearted❤ im glad you enjoyed it here

Alex, here's my question for you about being driven in your choice of destination by climate: I've watched your videos for a long time now and it never escapes me that as much as you say you like the climate in Malta, for much of the summer you complain (with good reason!) about the oppressive heat and then in the winter you'll remark about the chill (I'm not criticizing, just observing). If climate was that important to you in making your decision, I'm just wondering why you didn't choose a place like Madiera, where the climate is more consistent year 'round.
