  • Back in March I took a week-long trip to Malta and was surprised by how much this tiny country has to offer - from beaches, cliffs and caves to historical cities with unique architecture.🇲🇹 

Here are 5 things you need to do when you visit Malta:
1) take a dip in the stunningly beautiful waters of the Blue Lagoon 💙
2) get lost in the maze of medieval streets in Mdina
3) stroll along hundreds of years old salt pans in Gozo
4) see the colorful fishing boats at Marsaxlokk village 
5) explore the gorgeous UNESCO-listed city of Valletta 

In my latest blog post I'm sharing a 7-day Malta itinerary that takes you to the most beautiful spots in this little Mediterranean gem 💎. Link in bio.

  • Day 328 on Mars: Still no sign of anyone... 

But seriously, the Wadi Rum desert looks like it belongs to another planet. 🪐😍 We took a jeep tour through this magnificent barren landscape, frolicked around giant red sand dunes, climbed on top of rocks, gazed at a million stars in the pitch-black night sky and slept in a bedouin camp. It's definitely one of the most spectacular deserts I've seen. 🧡 

P.S. Did you know that The Martian and Dune were filmed here? 👽

  • Sunset swim at the lowest point on Earth 🌅
⁠
Floating in the Dead Sea was such a surreal experience. The super high salt concentration of the water pushes your body to the surface as soon as you get in - it's like you're suddenly weightless! 
⁠
If you plan to swim in the Dead Sea, here's what you need to know:⁠
- Do your best not to have any cuts/scratches/wounds on your body or it will burn like hell.⁠🔥
- Do not shave at least a few days before⁠.
- Do not splash⁠.
- And most importantly, DO NOT put your head underwater⁠!! 💀🙅🏼‍♀️

Is the Dead Sea on your bucket list? 😊

  • Just got back from Malta a few days ago and I still can’t believe how fast this trip flew by. 🇲🇹

Even though Malta is one of the smallest countries in Europe (the main island is only 27 km long and 14 km wide!), there are tons of beautiful places to see. I feel like I could have easily spent another week discovering all the hidden beaches, coastal hiking trails and towns packed with history. 

These photos were taken on the northern coast of the Maltese island of Gozo where you’ll find hundreds of years old salt pans and some cool limestone formations. A must-visit spot if you ask me.🙌

Have you ever been to Malta?
