My Travel History

- ♥ -

I'm from Malta, a tiny little island, bang in the centre of the Mediterranean.

As I grew into a young adult I met travellers, in my job as a hotel entertainer.  Their stories intrigued me and I could not wait to be the one packing up the bags and go explore and live on other parts of the planet.

So when I was 17, I tried a few days travelling solo in Barcelona to test the waters.  I was very aware of my surroundings and on guard, but I made it through and I loved the adrenaline it gave me.

By 19, I had my first summer job in a hotel in Tropea, in the South of Italy.  From then on the wheel just kept on going.  I lived in Cyprus, then in Menorca for a few years.

After 5 years of shifting my living from one island to another in the Mediterranean, I felt like it was time to go back home.  I settled in quite well, but then I turned 30.

Milestones like this make people reflect and wonder where they've been and where they're going.  As I blew out the candles on my cake I realized that the traveller inside of me had become squeezed under the pile of duties my corporate job demanded of me.

I missed her, I missed the gypsy in me, the one that could not wait to seek new lands, new places that could be home for a few months.  I had been stuck at the same desk for years.  I said goodbye to it and headed to Asia.

And that's how the last 3 years have taken me to stroll round India, Nepal, Cambodia, Vietnam, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and I'm now in Nicaragua.
