Itineraries
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.
