5 very good reasons to move to Malta

Here's the list of the 5 best reasons to move to Malta:

300 Days of sun
Malta (and soon I will too) enjoys 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. That's double the amount of the UK, and it beats the warmest parts of Italy too by 500 hours. I will be gladly swapping the brolly with sunscreen, and see if I can get as brown as Donatella Versace, minus the skin ageing.
In winter, the average lowest temperature is 11°C by night. That means no central heating required, cheap & green. Nice.

Life is going to be a beach
Good thing about living on a tiny island: you are never too far from the sea, and a very pretty sea at that. Though I am not really the beach type, I'm kind of looking forward a change of environment, especially one with never ending blue waters that go easy on the eyes, and on the mind as well.

Better quality of life
True, professionally speaking leaving a nice job in London to move to Malta, does make a lot of people cringe (especially my mum). However when one takes into account the hours of work and the hours to commute, the wages compared to the costs of living, and other things like the quality of the food, the environment, it becomes apparent that Malta is a better choice. Malta might not be the country you move to for your career, but is the country to move to if you want a healthier balance in your life.  After all, what is the point of spending the best of my time working and commuting, living in a student-like accommodation to be able to save sufficient funds to buy a small hole far away from central London?

Affordable housing
Very shortly: I might actually be able to own a property here, people. I've been looking forward my own house since a very long time. I have ten thousands boards on Pinterest I have been waiting to put to good use!

Love is in the maltese air
I haven't spent a long time in Malta yet, but my first impression was that it was a very happy little island. Without being lame, maltese people are the friendliest and warmest people i ever met. The whole island is welcoming, and also very family oriented. I'm a bit of a 'northerner' when it comes to family, which means that I tend care a lot about the closest one and rarely see distant ones (Joey thought that was a bit cold at the beginning, but he had to admit that both ways have their pro and cons). I think in Malta the concept of distant family only applies to family that actually lives abroad.
The criminality rate is very low, and you feel safe pretty much every where.
