Headed here after a rec from my sister in law and absolutely loved it! ♥️

One of the few beaches in Malta without loads of hotels and apartments around - just nature views 🌊

Crowds disappeared off the beach before sunset, meaning we were left to enjoy a local craft beer in peace on the Singita terrace 🍺

The gong ritual as the sun dipped below horizon was magical and followed by a cheeky pizza!

Def recommend this spot if you visit Malta 🇲🇹

✈️ 4 easy movement routines to save for your next flight 📲

1️⃣ Neck & Shoulders
•Circle your neck gently in both directions
•Turn your head in both directions so you’re looking over each shoulder
•Tilt your neck, bringing your ear towards each shoulder in turn
•Hunch your shoulders up to your ears and then relax them down
•Roll your shoulders forward and back

2️⃣ Upper Back
•Place your fingertips onto your shoulders and turn gently side to side
•With your hands on knees, gently lift your chin up, tilting your head back with a small back bend and then round spine, bringing your chin to your chest
•Give yourself a hug by wrapping your arms around you and moving your shoulders in a figure of 8, swap the arm on top and repeat

3️⃣ Hands & Wrists
•Put your hands together, interlock your fingers and then rotate your wrists in both directions
•Hold your arms out and flex your wrists up and down, then open and close your fingers rapidly, like flashing lights
•Fold your arms in a square above your head, elbow to palm, and stretch up and sideways

4️⃣ Legs & Feet
•Lift your foot off the floor and rotate your ankle 3 times in each direction, then repeat with other foot
•With your feet slightly apart, swing your knees out and in, like a Charleston dancer
•Lift your foot off the floor, bend your knee and point and flex your foot, then repeat with other foot

🧘 I learnt these moves and loads more, from the great online Pilates course - Move at Your Desk from @pilatesatyourdesk which is easy to adapt for travel.

🗓️ There’s a huge online library of videos, plus 6 live classes a week, taught by the fab Kerrie-Ann (who I went to school with!)

🌟 MAYD costs just £29.99 a month, but prices are going up soon, so get in there now ➡️ https://www.pilatesatyourdesk.com/member-areas-1

Don’t miss trying the typical snack called pastizzi when you visit Malta 🇲🇹

A traditional savoury pastry, pastizzi usually have a filling either of ricotta or curried peas.

And the best place to indulge with the locals is Gambrinus in the capital Valletta ☕️

Paired with an espresso and costing just 2.65€, this is a top budget and Maltese spot!

Definitely helps that Malta’s public transport is super easy and cheap to use… but I’ve done this the world over!

MALTA TRANSPORT 🇲🇹

Skip the tours and use the public bus instead!

The island is incredibly well serviced, day and night, by a fantastic bus network that offers express and everyday routes.

📱Get the free Tallinja app for timetables and journey planners including airport buses.

💰 Pay in cash or card on the bus for journeys - €2.50 daytime or €3 night time standard fares. Otherwise the Explore Flex Card is ideal for tourists and starts from just €6.

🚕 Bolt is also very common in Malta. Roads and drivers are good in my experience. From one side of the island to the other costs around €20.

Skipping tours where possible is always one of my top budget tips and allows for more authentic travel experiences too!

New EU entry system! 🇪🇺 If you’re a Briti

New EU entry system! 🇪🇺

If you’re a British passport holder planning to travel to Europe later this year then keep reading, because entry rules are changing!

From November 24 a new Entry / Exit system, known as the EES, will be brought in for those travelling to the Schengen area on stays of up to 90 days.

The Schengen area includes 25 EU member states, plus four non-EU countries, namely Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.

Ireland and Cyprus will still give manual stamps.

For any British passport holders who don’t have EU residency, the new EES system will apply.

✈️ This digital system will replace passport stamping when you arrive and depart your destination, which means that if you want to fill your passport with stamps you’ll have to book some Europe trips soon!

But don’t think the new EES will remove the need for you to travel with your passport.

From 10th November this year, you’ll have to provide your fingerprints and have a photo of your face taken at the passport control, as well as show your passport.

So it’s time to wave goodbye to those good old passport stamps!

Are you sad to see them go? ⬇️
