If you’re planning to visit Malta, you might be wondering how many days to spend in Malta. Although it’s easy to spend to one week in Malta, I considered four days to be the perfect amount of time in Malta to see the main sightseeing attractions in Malta.
If you’re wondering what to do in Malta without the expense of a car, keep reading as you can do a surprising number of things in Malta during four days. I wrote this guide as most of the guides that I found about Malta focused on having a car.
Malta is small, so my husband and I chose not to rent a car during my long weekend in Malta as I felt that we could see everything that I wanted to see with the bus after checking the schedule.

I often write about travel, but travel is often about enjoying your surroundings. For most of my time in Paris, I lived in the 14th arrondissement. Although this arrondissement isn’t famous in the same way that other arrondissements for its attractions, there are many things to do in 14th arrondissement as well as some fantastic food. I hope that this neighborhood guide to the 14e arrondissement inspires you to stick around to explore a bit of this local neighborhood in Paris.
Shortly after moving to Paris, we found a charming apartment in a historic Haussmannian building in the 14th. It was small and I wasn’t sure what it would be like in the 14th arrondissement. Given how crazy the apartment market in Paris is, we took it although the apartment wasn’t exactly what we thought it would be (“CLEAN ME” written into the blinds). That said, I instantly fell in love with the neighborhood. Most people only visit the 14th for the Montparnasse Tower or the Paris Catacombs, however hopefully this little guide inspires you to find some good food after visiting the catacombs….

I knew that the Hague was cosmopolitan, however I never expected the range of cafes in the Hague that I’ve found here. As someone who is an entrepreneur, I find that working at a coffee shop (not that kind!) helps me feel both refreshed and inspired in a way that I cannot feel at home. Similarly, there’s a lot of taking a moment to enjoy on a good cup of coffee and the little joys that something so simple can bring, so keep reading for my favorite cafes and coffee shops in the Hague!…

People are often shocked that both my husband and I choose to take vacations with our respective parents (and parents-in-law). I know that my dad is definitely reading this, but I will write that going on holiday with your parents isn’t always easy. Since moving to Europe, I’ve take a annual trip with my parents as it’s my favorite way to see my parents. Why? I find that we get to enjoy beautiful cities and we get quality time without the awkwardness of me staying in my bedroom from my teenage years.

One of the most common questions that I get about the Amsterdam is about biking. Bicycling in Amsterdam is the best way to get around, however biking can be terrifying for people who are used to leisurely bike rides in the park who haven’t done city biking before.
