Haz-Zebbug, Malta

Hi ! My name's Neal and I'm a 22 y/o medical student (soon to be doctor) from Malta with a true passion for travelling. I've visited over 45 countries and plan to visit more, but the one I've spent the most time adventuring is my home country of Malta where I've lived all of my life. This has given me countless time to visit every corner of this activity and site-packed island, and now I'm here to pass-on all that knowledge to you through my recommendations. When I visit a county, I always want to do my best to get a feel of how the locals live and what it is that they enjoy doing or seeing in their county the most (especially the hidden gems). This is what I am offering you; a unique way in to the best activities, places to see and characteristic experiences available on the Maltese islands. I can best cater for families, students, backpackers and other budget-travellers, outdoor lovers, and adventure-seekers. Malta is therefore my main area of expertise, but I can also offer itineraries for Sri Lanka and Crete as these are the places that I am most knowledgable of, from all the countries I have visited.
This service would therefore be best catered for these travellers and anyone ranging from budget to comfortable travel, but if it is pure luxury you are looking for, I feel like my recommendations may not be ideal for you. But if you want that unique, cultural, adventurous or laid-back experience that only a local could provide, you've found the right place. The itineraries I provide will address activities and experiences, the best local restaurants, accommodations, how to get around and any other tips and tricks that I believe will be helpful to you personally. 

How many people are there in your group and who are you travelling with (solo/friends/family...)?

What activities are you interested (ex: beach, snorkelling, diving, cultural experiences, relaxing activities, walking, hiking...)? - Mention any activities you enjoy doing on holiday so that I may best cater to your preferences and style of travel.

Is there anything specific that you would lie me to include in your itinerary? Possibly somewhere or something you have read about online?

What kind of accommodations do you prefer (hotel, airbnb, beachside, central...)?

What is your approximate budget for hotels per night?

I you prefer hotels, would you rather they are 4 or 5 star or is this not important to you?

Have you ever been to Malta before, if so what did you see on your last visit?

Any food allergies? (only need to answer if you chose the luxe package, just so I can check which restaurants are suitable)

Do you have a budget for your trip? If so, could you provide me with an indication or range of this budget?

Do you prefer free activities, such as walking around areas and exploring, or guided tours?

Are you interested in history and cultural experiences, such as with visiting of museums, churches, and temples?

Are you open to the option of renting a car?

Do you or anyone else in your group suffer from any issues with mobility?

Any other information that you would like me to keep in mind when curating your itinerary?
