We are both originally from the UK. We have done some traveling and have lived in Spain and Canada. After being in Canada we were looking forward to living somewhere warm and sunny.
We really liked the idea of living close to the mediterranean. We chose to move to Malta as the weather is meant to be sunny and warm all year round. The Malta cost of living is low and the people friendly. A bonus is that English is widely spoken.
We decided to note our progress on the positive and negative aspects of moving to Malta on our Malta Move blog.
