Hi everyone,

I posted on here back in March/April to see if anyone was in the same boat as me - wanting to make friends etc. I'm pleased to say it was successful but I know people don't always read old forum posts so thought I would repost to get the attention of some newer expats!

I'm really keen to make lots of new friends here in Malta - I've been here for 7 months now and there is still so much I want to discover of the island...and what better way than with new friends!

Please get in contact if you too would like to meet some new people and build a nice social circle :) it can be so hard to make friends when you're in a new place so I'm grateful to this website for introducing me to people!

Speak to you soon hopefully :)

Hello,

I´m a 21-year old girl from Germany.
During my studies I´m supposed to do an internship, so I decided to absolve this internship at Malta.
I want to go to Malta because I think it´s a fascinating island.
I going to arrive at the beginning of September and will left Malta at the end of January. So that´s not so much time to see everything on the island, so I´m searching for people who want to discover the island, too.
So I was very happy to see your post. If you want I will be very happy to make a trip with you  :)

Have a great time!

Ulrike

Hi Debs, I've been here for around 8 months and also still in the process of discovering the island :) I'm here with my partner, both late twenties/early thirties, no kids, like going out but more the wine festival type than rowdy Paceville ;) We also love taking walks, exploring villages + feasts and watching fireworks. Would be great to meet like-minded people outside of my work! :)

that´s sound´s very good.
It would be great if we can find a date to do something together =)
maybe we can go out together the first time to get to know each other?

Hey, I arrived here in Malta from the UK a few weeks ago to live. I'm looking to meet new people to go out with and enjoy the Island. I'm in my early 30's, I don't have any kids and want to find a good social circle of friends. If anyone is in the same boat as me it would be good to hear from you. 😊

That would be nice. I'm currently in London with music commitments but am looking to make a semi permanent move to Malta in the coming months as I love the vibe and want to build up a nice network of friends.

Hi Ian,

Get in touch when you arrive in Malta.
Good luck with the music! 😊

Morning all!

I'm new to Malta, 24 years old and wanting to really experience the best of the island. Moved here with my partner, only arrived last month and looking to make new friends and share incredible experience in this beautiful place.

Would love to get involved in social events, book clubs, social adventures and fitness activities.

The island can seem lonely and isolating at times for everyone (especially in winter months.)

If anyone knows any groups/people/events or just general advice it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Holly

I'm always looking to meet new people.  I've been here almost 10 years and any friends I make always seem to end up moving back from where they came from :(

Anyone from down south? (M'scala/Zabbar)  I know Malta is small but it's a nightmare to get around and have often found that meet ups in Sliema/St Julians firstly take me 1 - 1.5 hours to get to on the bus and then in the evenings are difficult because then it's hard to get home without shelling out €20 for a cab.  So I've ended up not going to many.  Well....one to be precise!

There are some really amazing bars and cafes in Valletta if anyone fancies meeting up there sometime?

deejay1988

Hi!

I would be happy to meet up somewhere other than St Julians/Sliema :) Gets a bit boring staying in the same place all the time for meet ups! I have a car so easy to get around :)

Let me know when you are free!

Debs

MintyMagic

Hey there,

I'd love to.  Up to my eyes painting the house this weekend but am free next or even on 7th (public holiday) for a coffee or something?

RainbowMags
