I can’t believe how fast those 3 weeks have passed, going on this trip was the most amazing experience of my life and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to go. Although I am excited to see my family and friends back home, I will definitely miss Malta. This trip has taught me so much and allowed me to meet new people, gain new experiences and visit new places. I will absolutely be coming back to Malta in the future. On Saturday we packed up our things and cleaned the apartment. We were collected from our apartment at 7pm and brought to the airport. We had some free time before our flight so we sat and played some cards while waiting. Then it was time to board for our 4 hour flight home😢. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is thinking of doing Erasmus, it was an amazing opportunity. I wanted to thank everyone who was involved and made the experience even better. I’m very said to be leaving Malta but I will definitely be back. 🇲🇹💕

Friday was our second last day in Malta. We had an early start as we were collected from our apartment at 8.30 to head for some breakfast with the crew. We went to a place called the Elephant Shoe in Valletta where we had some breakfast. It was nice to catch up with everyone and reflect on our experiences on this trip. After breakfast Milly, Naoise, Avery, Erynn, Devin and I, all went to visit St. Peter’s Pool. We jumped off the edge, swam and soaked up some sun, you can see me and milly swimming in the photo above. We headed home afterwards and made some grub. Since it was our last night Milly and I headed into St. Julian’s for a few drinks🤭. It was an amazing day, can’t believe we’re leaving tomorrow 😭

Thursday was our last day working at the gym. It was a great experience and we got to meet loads of new people. I can’t believe how fast 3 weeks have gone by! I will definitely miss working in the gym and the kind staff as well. We still have a few more days to explore Malta until we leave.

# data[].attributes.body
On Tuesday evening, Larry took us all out for some pizza in Salumeria Gardens in St. Julian’s. Milly and I shared a pizza which was really good and we had a cheeky cocktail aswell. The restaurant was gorgeous. Earlier today we were at work with Devin and Tinele, we’re getting close to the end now, can’t believe we’re leaving on Saturday! Dinner with the gang was really nice and it was good to get to know Larry. After dinner Milly and I walked along Spinola Bay and then headed home.

# data[].attributes.body
Saturday, time to head home! As much as I am excited to see all my family and friends Malta will be missed dearly, this Erasmus trip was the most productive, educational and exciting experiences I’ve had, from working in 2 different environments to meeting new people, visiting new destinations and seeing all the amazing architecture everyday of the 3 weeks was something new and exciting. I couldn’t recommend taking the opportunity of going on Erasmus as it has taught me so much. We packed our bags cleaned our apartment and headed to the airport. We had a couple of hours before our flight so we spent our time playing a few more card games with the girls 😢. We boarded our flight and the holiday blues had hit. I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that was a part of the Erasmus, thank you for offering me this opportunity to meet new people make new friends, learn new skills and visit new places it’s been incredible and would go back in a heartbeat ❤️🇲🇹

Second last day😭 today we had an early but exciting start to the day, we were picked up from our apartment at 8.30 am and we were going to a lovely cafe called the elephant shoe, had an amazing breakfast which was pancakes, hash browns, sausage, bacon and eggs with maple syrup. We had a nice chat with the whole crew about our experience in Malta. Naoise, Robyn, Eryn, Devin and I wanted to make the most out of our 2nd last day so we headed off to St.peters pool. One of the nicest places I’ve ever visited the water was crystal clear and the sun was shining. We jumped off the cliff of the pool and swam around for a while, we then chilled out and soaked in the rays 👙. After a couple of hours in the sun we headed home and made some dinner, as it was our last night Robyn and I had to say our goodbyes to St.Julian’s 🥳

# data[].attributes.body
What a great trip, meeting new people and making new memories, a moment I will truly remember forever. It was great from the easy work experience in the gym to the boxing pros and having fun on the beach and smashing the other team in later tag. I would truly recommend anyone that get the offer to go on erasmis to take it. If any of the lads on the trip Reading this pleasure to meet u. I may never see you again but you will see me 😉

# data[].attributes.body
A bitter sweet end to amazing trip, I'm glad to have met you all and to have shared this experience and get to know uou all over the last few weeks.

On my last day, Alex and I visited the Marsaxkalokk for the last time. To get a few presents for our family and friends.
I then joined Devin for a goodbye meal in Sliema.
I can’t believe that this is it, these three weeks have flown by.
But I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity and if I could I would do it again in a heartbeat.

# data[].attributes.body
Straight after the gardens, we headed for the blue lagoon. The fact that Malta is such a small country means that we can do so many activities in the one day.
It took us 40min to get to the blue lagoon port were we hopped on a boat to the blue lagoon.
The water was the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. It was truly breathtaking. However, like most places here in Malta it was packed.
It was very difficult to find spot to sit down and the beach had a weird smell. Other than that it was a great experience.
We got a speed boat back which made the experience even more memorable.

# data[].attributes.body
After the meeting we adventured around the barracks garden for the last time.
The sun was shinning bright, and the view was beautiful. I found that on Friday morning it wasn’t as packed as the weekend. A little tip for anyone looking to explore Valletta.
The gardens is a great place to relax and to also people watch. It was one of my favorite spots.

# data[].attributes.body
We had our closing meeting today.
It was time to say goodbye and a big thank you to our amazing host company.
It was lovely to hear about everyone’s experience and how much we all enjoyed ourselves.

I can’t believe that this is our last week, at fort fitness.
I have truly enjoyed myself, more than I thought I would. I was glad to be apart of a group of people that are all so passionate about what they do. I can’t imagine a better work placement environment.

Thanks for the ride ⛴️

On our last week, we had to make the most out of it.
Amanda and I decided to hop on a bus and visit Marsaxkalokk. Which is a little city down the bottom. It has the most beautiful boats and the water is amazing.
There’s also a little market and on Sundays there’s a fish market.
We got on a boat on the last minute and adventured for about one hour and thirty minutes. We saw St. Peter’s pool which is stunning but also a bit crowded.
We didn’t leave the boat, however, you can hop off the boat and enjoy the day out then get the next one back.
Before we headed home we also had a lovely meal my the harbor.
It was an amazing day and we truly enjoyed ourselves.

When I was felling much better, after coming home from work sick, myself and Naoise decide to go out for some fresh air and made our way to Sangla where the photographer finally became the subject.

It was much easier to have photos taken of me when it was someone I trust behind the camera and Naoise got a good shot

A day out to Valletta with Devin and the girls, exploring the food market and playing a game of bs/lier outside of the artful doger. Nothing but laughs and fun after a long day's work, a good come down and relaxing time

# data[].attributes.body
After work I went on a stroll to Sliema, it was good living only 20 minutes from the point as it gave us so many operatunitys to browse and go shopping. Not only that getting to see masterpieces (Graphite) like above was a major plus

# data[].attributes.body
The only down side to the gozo trip was that we wernt able to explore the Island on our own and that we were put to a time ristraint. Overall the place was so lovely and we met a very energetic dog that the owners allowed me to take pictures off.

We’ve made it to the end of our time in Malta. This has been the quickest 3 weeks of my life. I have had the most amazing time and couldn’t have picked a better group to spend it with. The last thing I want to do is leave, I am so thankful for this opportunity and I’m so grateful to be able to take part in the Erasmus+ programme. It has been a time I will never forget😁

# data[].attributes.body
A great day out in Madina with both Naoise and Erynn. We romed the streets, explored the catacombs, ate some delicious food in Coogie's and even attended a wedding (good on ya Paula and Matt may your marriage be long and happy one). It was hood to explore the history of Malta and learn about a new place.

# data[].attributes.body
On our last day off we relaxed by the sea at St. Peters pool. There were people jumping into the water, sunbathing and just going for a nice swim. It was a great atmosphere and quite packed with people, obviously a popular spot. The water was so clear we could see the fish swimming beside us.🐠🐡🐟

# data[].attributes.body
A couple of us went to explore some catacombs in Mdina. It was very interesting learning about them and seeing how these people lived.

# data[].attributes.body
Had my last day at work today, was more upset than I had expected. I was very fond of the atmosphere and the people I had surrounded myself with and I had built some friendships that I’m so sad to be leaving. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and it was such a relaxed environment, I was always so happy to go to work every morning and excited for the next day. I’m very sad to be leaving and having to say goodbye to everyone I’ve met, but hopefully in the future I could find my way back.

It was good getting to work in a place like this learning the construction and design choices that were put into the building and why they were put in, like the screen. The screen was developed and put into the design as to make the hospice patience more at ease when they are coming in, in order to not scare them. Mr Borg and the team were nothing but kind and it was a great experience getting to work with them with this project

Carolina's Petit Cafe and Tea Room in Sliema

# data[].attributes.body
At last the final day is here.
Enjoyed a nice lunch at Carolina's on the strip in Sliema, something we've been meaning to do since the first week. It was worth the wait though. It's such a cute design and the food was so good. They serve afternoon tea all day too! But it must be for sets of 2 people. Considering there were 3 of us, that didn't work out but what we got was still great so I would recommend :)

Cannot believe we're going back today. There's so much I wish I could have done, but I guess I'll have to leave that for next time because I will be back!

# data[].attributes.body
On this day I decided to walk after home after work. By doing this I saw beautiful plants and ace texture that can be seen around malta like the church and the gallarija whitch are found on many homes in malta

Last full day ended with a splash in St. Peter's Pool 🌊

We had our closing meeting today in Elephant Shoe, a cafe in Valetta. I ordered a burrata tomato bruschetta type of dish and it was delicious, along with my iced coffee.

After our meeting we went to St. Peter's Pool in the south of Malta. It was so much fun. I was too nervous to jump off the cliffs but I could still get in at short distances from the water 😅. The water was so clear and really lovely place to swim.

Can't believe we're going home tomorrow!!! The time has flown well and truly.

Unfortunately, during our last week in Malta, my friend Kate and I got very sick from eating Asian food. She recovered faster than me, who spent the whole week in bed...so I can't add anything exciting to my blog, only regret the week I spent sick. Our last meeting with the easy job bridge partners in Valletta was pleasant, we received our certificates and the deposit was returned. Very soon we will be heading to the airport for a four-hour flight. Thank you to everyone involved for the opportunity to work and study in this wonderful country! I will not forget it. 🥺✨

My last day in work was today. I have to say the people who work in this company are so welcoming and kind.

I got a gift from my supervisor as a thank you which I deeply appreciated 🙏. And Kim the receptionist even gave me a hug as I was leaving (and told me to ask for any single Irish men 😅).

Really enjoyed the people I worked with here. What a quick 3 weeks they were!

Last Day today before we head back tomorrow. We all met up for some lunch in the elephant shoe, where I ordered a big breakfast with pancakes and irish breakfast. It was nice but fulling I still manged to finish it all though. Then we split up with some going blu lagoon and the othere have going st Peters pool, I went to St Peters pool and got cooked. Lovely and tan for ireland now. Then to fish the night off I went out to see some of the lads from the workplacment fight. It startedoff slow but the main event was a very good scrap. With the crowd being very supportive of there home fighters.

Great day today, after meeting with Michelle in Valetta for the biggest breakfast you've ever seen in your life !  We want to Blue Lagoon.  I swam nearly over to that cave but met some fish  on the way, so came back!  There was a very long wait for the ferry back so we got a speedboat instead

On Sunday, Milly and I had a chilled day. We went for brunch in Sliema in a place called Suzie Q. I had pulled pork tacos and they were delicious. We then went for a swim at the pier beside the point shopping centre and we soaked up some sun for a few hours. We went back to the apartment in the evening and we made some dinner. Then we went to an Irish pub with the other girls in our apartment for a few quite drinks.

Getting closer to the end🥹 today we had a good workout in the gym with Deven Tinele and Robyn as well as the students from the Netherlands bjorn and Tim. We then had a lovely dinner to look forward with Larry and the rest of the crew. We got ready for the evening and headed to Salumeria Gardens, Larry kindly treated us to an amazing pizza and we got a couple of cocktails too they were delicious. We had a lovely chat with the rest of the crew. Robyn and I walked down the canal and took some lovely photos and then headed home to bed. We were exhausted 😴a lovely evening.

It was worth the wait.
We went back to Dinlgi ~ viewpoint during the weekend and I finally got to see the sunset.
It was breathtaking.

On Saturday we visited the little island of Gozo. We got the ferry over, even though I felt a bit sea sick I still enjoyed the trip.
We visited the capital of Gozo (Victoria).
It was a very small town but absolutely stunning.
Then we had a lovely meal by the ocean in a super fancy restaurant.
Straight afterwards we were brought to the beach. The beach was sandy but very rocky. But we  still managed to have a great time as the weather was perfect.
We got the ferry back around 16:30 so we still had time to go out and enjoy the rest of our day.

Dingli ~ Cliff, the viewpoint.
I found this spot on week two.
It was so beautiful and peaceful I didn’t want to leave.
However, as we waited for the sun to set, clouds began to appear and we were unable to see the sunset. It was still a beautiful night but we will definitely be back.

Not everyday in your job is going to be a fun and interesting one. And for me that was today. There was a document missing from between May - December 2023 that had to be found. And guess who had to go looking for it 😞.

It wasn't just me, I was searching alongside a staff member who is around my age and is from the Phillipines. So I got to learn a bit about her country while we were searching.

Did I mention the A/C wasn't working? Because it wasn't. It was like sorting through heavy boxes for 2+ hours in a sauna 😰🔥🔥

Wednesday night we caught up with Larry, only about half of us went due to short notice but it was a very good meet up, where I got to got to chat and talk to Larry for a while and the rest of the group, I got a chilli crunch pizza which u can see me stuffing my face with, it wasn't that spice but very crunchy.

Malta has been inhabited since 5600bc, it's first nhabitants were farmers; their agricultural methods degraded the soil until the islands became uninhabitable. The islands were repopulated around 3850 BC by a civilization that at its peak built the megalithic temple  which today are among the oldest surviving buildings in the world. Their civilization collapsed in around 2350 BC; the islands were repopulated by bronze age warriors soon afterwards.

On Saturday we had our trip to Gozo Island, we got picked up from our apartment at 8 am and then arrived at the ferry, I was quite nervous as I have never been on one before but it was a nice quick trip across to the island, we were then given an hour to explore all the amazing architecture and markets. We headed to a lovely restaurant where we had some food with a gorgeous view and the sun was shining ☀️ we then headed to the beach for an hour, sunbathed and had a swim🌊. It was an amazing day with everyone as a group another enjoyable activity completed ✅

On Saturday the entire group went to Gozo Island. We were collected at our apartments at 8am and it was about an hour long journey to the ferry. The ferry was a short journey to the island. We had a few hours to explore the centre of Victoria, in this photo Erynn is going into a small shop. We then went out for lunch in the Country Terrace restaurant, the views were absolutely breathtaking. After lunch we went to Ramla Bay for a few hours, we swam and chilled on the beach. We then took the ferry back to Malta and we got back to our apartments at around 5.30. I was absolutely exhausted but it was a brilliant day out and I really enjoyed it!

Our team was taken to an organized event that included a three-course dinner and a magic show from professional magicians. The food was very tasty and filling, and the menu was varied.

We were pleased and discussed this event for several more days.

I visited Valletta and was surprised how beautiful it is. Walking around the city you can find many places that have a unique history and interesting past. I also tried real Italian pizza in a place near the sea with a beautiful view. We also stopped at one of the oldest gelaterias in the very center to try different flavors of ice cream since it was very hot outside

# data[].attributes.body
Today we took a short trip to Senglea, one of "The Three Cities" across the water from Valetta.

The sun was very harsh today so we didn't stay out very long. But we did make time to visit St. Julian's church, which was very quaint and overall a very calming environment.

We took a breather in the Gardjola Gardens. This beautiful garden overlooks Valetta and Cospicua (another of the three cities). I recommend giving this spot a visit as the view you get of the sea and cities is really something.

Another recommend for a bit of relaxation.

While in Mdina, we went outside the original fortified area and travelled to St. Paul's Catacombs. This was a really interesting experience I've never had before. And it was very cheap! (€4.50 student price!)

We thought there was only one section of catacombs, but after ascending the steps of the first(and largest) we found out there were not 4 or 5, but 23!!! We had our work cut out for us indeed.

While some of the catacombs were closed for undisclosed reasons, the majority were open and you could venture down to investigate them. The placards outside explained what religion was followed for each one, as well as if there were any real human bones, which there were in one of them!

One of my favourites was a Jewish catacomb, it was very small and had a clear carving of a Menorah on the back wall. Off to the side of the stairs there was a very miniscule doorway which we had to fold ourselves to get into. I can't imagine what the people who found these catacombs must have had to squeeze through!

Another spot I would highly recommend. I'd give yourself at least 90 minutes to look through all the catacombs though, we got a bit pushed for time as we didn't realise it would take as long.

On Sunday we visited Mdina, the fortified mediaval city on top of a hill.

From the grand entrance over what was once a moat surrounding the city, you enter a portal back in time upon entering Mdina. The streets are narrow and sometimes confusing, the architecture is truly spectacular, in particular one of the churches we passed we had a look inside. The ceiling was adorned with beautiful art similar to the Sistine Chapel. In fact, we later passed again and witnessed a wedding taking place in that same church! 🤵👰 What a wonderful location to have a ceremony!!

We saw many little girls in Communion dresses along with their families. They were all taking photographs! Mdina seems to be a hotspot for Communion Day photography 😅.

We took a visit to St. Peter's Monastery also. I won't lie, this was a rather strange experience. There were several mannequins throughout the building and strange dolls that were a little "uncanny valley" inducing. It was definitely something I won't forget for a while though!

After a while we had grown a bit hungry, so decided we'd have lunch at one of the several food spots, Coogi's. It had a lovely outdoor terrace seating area, and even the inside was stunning with the stone brick arches all the way through. Not to mention the food and drinks went down a treat 🍷🍝

Mdina was truly one of my favourite days on this experience in Malta. I *highly highly* recommend it.

Spent the last weekend in Malta. We're flying back this week. I'm glad the weekend was very active: we managed to visit many new places and immerse ourselves in the local culture. We explored the historic center of Valletta, strolled through the narrow streets of Mdina, enjoyed the views at Golden Bay, and even took a trip to the island of Gozo. The delicious local cuisine, friendly people, and stunning nature left unforgettable impressions. Malta has become a true discovery for us, and we will definitely return here again!

Beautiful blue flag water! My friend seen dolphins. On the beach with warm and pink sand, Kate and I saw a school of fish swimming through the water. They were so cute. Although the shore was very uncomfortable to get into the water, because of the pile of sharp rocks (be careful, I even scraped my knee) the waves were great to relax. Too bad it was only for thirty minutes... 😭

# data[].attributes.body
Lunch overlooking the sea in a gourmet restaurant, where Kate and I ordered fresh and incredibly tasty seafood. Where else can you eat them if not on an island? An interesting fact is that this restaurant is one of the top five in the country.

The entire group took a trip to Gozo yesterday. This is a seperate island to Malta, is further north and requires a short Ferry journey to reach from Malta.

We explored the city of Victoria/Rabat, especially the Citadel, had a scrumptious lunch overlooking the sea, and capped our Gozo experience with a short time at Rambla Bay.

Even though people from Gozo and main island of Malta are often bunched together, the Gozitans take great pride in their heritage of Gozo and are not to be known as Maltese, but Gozitans.

# data[].attributes.body
On Saturday the group took a trip to Gozo island. We had a long day ahead of us. We got up at 8 to catch the ferry, I really enjoyed the ferry ride over, short and sweet. Then we travelled to a place in Gozo called Victoria and had some free time there to do some exploring. We then went to a restaurant called Country Terrace for lunch that overlooked the sea and we could see the blue lagoon, such an amazing view. The food was fantastic. After lunch we headed to Rambla bay for a quick swim. After that we went to catch the ferry back to Malta. Had such a great day, so grateful I got a chance to visit Gozo.😊🏖️

Went to gozo, started at 8am, got the ferry, went to a fortified town, had a look around, it was very interesting to see a fortified town as we don’t have those in Ireland. Then we went for lunch, it was very windy, I tried octopus for the first time, I would rate it a 5/10, not great but not terrible. Then we went to the beach, it was very rocky and hard to get to the deeper water, but worth it as the water was warm and the waves were big.

Balconies in Malta, they're everywhere on most buildings.  Apparently theg used to all be painted dark green as they used paint from the Brittush Navy.  Now they are all different colours, very pretty to look at

This cave, located on the western side of the Ramlil bay is alleged to be the one referenced in the Odyssey as the cave where the nymph  Callipso kept Osysseus prisoner for seven years after his ship was shipwrecked after a fierce storm.  We went to Ramilil Beach today but the cave is currently closed to the public for fear of collapse.

Gaining experience from a true professional is an incredible opportunity. I’m lucky in this regard: I am doing my internship with someone who has immense experience. He works with the Olympic Committee and supports sports teams as a physiotherapist. This is an invaluable chance to learn from the best in the field and acquire knowledge and skills that can't be found in books. Every day of the internship reveals new aspects of the profession to me, and I am confident that this experience will become a solid foundation for my future.
