We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time. We're trying to see and learn as much about the world as possible while we're young! Right now, we are working to visit 100 countries before the end of 2022🌍 Check our RUclips About page for more details!👨🏼🤝👨🏻
Malta was country #85/100🌍
Thank you for watching!🙏😍
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING😘 You guys are the best, thanks for being here!!
Your welcome
Thanks for showing us the world and making us more interested of travelling. 💗
Malta is boring. Go to Corsika or Sardinia. It´s a big different
@@BlauerMax1918 Have you ever been here?
@@sahronex Sorry, my english is not the best. Yes Sure, Malta (Gozo), and 4x Sardininia(Capri), and 2x Corsika, 2xMallorca,1x Sizilia, Zypern, Ibizza
As a person who is 1/2 maltese , originates from there and has been watching ur vids for almost 3 months now i appriecate the amount of love you've shown to this little bundle of joy
As a Maltese person watching this it really filled me up with joy because of how much you guys liked it, to be honest I never knew so many people knew about my tiny island but I always see tourists so that's good! And I'll give you a fun fact! Us Maltese people have a lot of history and we have the longest living temples!! Enjoy your stay.
Longest living temples??? That's Kool! I'd like to know more. 👍
Hello fellow maltese!!
Love how you get the impression that Sliema is a calm place, it's probably the most busy place together with St. Julians :D But during the heatwave and (I assume a weekday), it is probably busier at a touristic sightseeing spot like Valletta. Make sure to visit Mdina and Marsaxlokk if you can.
Yeah it was completely dead in comparison😂
Haha I know...I thought the same thing. I grew up living in Sliema but I find it easy too busy for me. Moved to Rabat and live it as its so much quieter. Enjoy Malta.... just walk off any main road and take the side streets as that is where you really get a feel of the island and the locals. Get talking to as many locals as you can as most are really really friendly. Try Valletta on a Friday night... it is so alive, with lovely live bands whilst eating outdoors in the cooler air
@@CarmxFromMalta and I used to live in Msida and moved to Rabat as I love the quiet hahaha.
Welcome to Malta.
I'll try to reply to some of your questions:
1/ The balconies are simply called Maltese balcony
2/ The dust on the cars comes from the so called Blood rain which is a rainfall mixed with the Saharan sand dust
3/ Sliema isn't a calm place to live, trust me. ;-)
Hi, how about rental place for long term contract for 1+1 apartment (not shared), is inflation rate is so high for each year to rent house? :((
The dust on the cars is sand from the Sahara desert- we even have it here in Antwerp (Belgium)
We have even had the Sahara desert dust here in London back in April.
You are wrong. Yes we do get Sahara sand BUT…. even without it everything in Malta is covered with sand…..FROM CONSTRUCTION.
here the sand from the Sahara is very thick and penetrating.
Was excited to watch this as I am in Malta right now! I come every year with my partner as his family is Maltese, so it was great seeing it from your point of view ☺️ love all your videos guys x
Awesome video! Great to see you guys!
Great video. Makes me very homesick. I spent my formative years in Malta (4.5), and it's my favorite place in the world. Your pronunciation of Valletta was perfect, try SlEEma, to pronounce Sliema. They can only really build UP in Malta as obviously there's limited space. I hope I'm going to find your video of Gozo, because it's more like the Malta I remember from the late 70's early 80's. Not as many tourists, still has the feel of being laid back and history. I was back in 2014 with a class reunion and was sad to see all the "new" stuff everywhere. Where there used to be a great little restaurant, there's a Burger King. New and modern looking buildings were very upsetting for all of us to see. The orange monstrosity in Paceville is heartbreaking.
lovely video guys!
I'm English and I love Malta my husband is Italian and he made the decision to purchase a property out there 'Gzira' absolutely brilliant and fantastic place to be...enjoy!!!
Another delightful video from my two favorite travelers. A very pleasant reprieve from the chaos of the world. john xoxoxoxoxo
Chile, that Junior Eurovision reference transported me right back to being 14 again!
Happy to have done that😆😁
Malta is spectacular. From the incredible architecture to the beautiful churches, the sea air, the sunshine, the fresh food, and the friendly people. I've visited twice and can't wait to return in November for my birthday trip.
Friendly people? 🤣
Thank you so much for visiting my country! I love you!!!!!
One of the main reasons why cars are dusty is because of the sandstorms that blow up from the Sahara Desert. Another reason would be that in summer Malta is very dry, with very little rainfall.
Never thought of going to Malta before we went to Malta in 2011 and have been a number of times since. Stayed in Melliha the first time, lovely place, quiet with a fantastic beach, the best on the island. We tend to stay around Bugibba/Qawra/St Paul's as we like the bars and restaurants with easy access to the whole island using the buses.
Awesome job guys
Thank you for visiting
"Valeta, Malt." (Swedish 1975 Eurovision host. She was so delightful). It's just stuck to me head since I have seen it on youtube. Now, I always refer to Valeta as "Valeta, Malt". I-layla tayeb to you both
This September will be trip number 5 since 2019 to Malta as my dad lives there. There’s so many sights to see and so much to do. Malta is amazing 100/10 recommend.
Just a few corrections from a local :) The coloured wooden hanging boxes are called balconies not bay windows, and in Maltese they're called "gallariji". Sliema and other surrounding towns aren't part of Valletta. Once you leave the fortified city gate you leave Valletta. It's just a very small 'city'

Mahalo for doing all the footwork and making and posting your videos. The future of travel for the masses? Virtual Reality through a few people's experiences? Probably a good thing. You are providing me with an escape from the horrors of what is happening in the USA. Cheers!
I completely agree and I am actually half Scottish and Maltese and have been their too it is amazing 100% recommended to be on your bucket list
When I think of Malta, I immediately think of the terrific book by Roger Crowley "Empires of the Sea" that tells of the struggle for Malta in 1565.
I studied abroad in Malta for more than a month and stayed on that exact street with a view of the public pool with old men playing water polo. Paceville is the bar area within walking distance. So many things to do for such a small island country. We took weekends trips to Greece and Tunisia.
You guys are awesome. Malta looks beautiful. Keep traveling safe and posting these great videos. Lots of love and support from the United States❤️😊

Oscar and Dan thanks for a lovely vlog!
You need to visit Tunisia 🇹🇳 so close ! Perfect for summer
We didn’t realise how beautiful Malta is until we visited this Island last year.
What an amazing place! Great video 😍
I had a good laugh when you said St Paul's is the main cathedral of Valletta, it's actually the church I go to but we only have the highest spire (and we're Anglican not Catholic) - the "real" attraction is actually St John's Cathedral which you captured twice! It looks ordinary from the outside but is covered in gold and artwork on the inside. Love you guys!
My future husband and I are planning our honeymoon in Malta, this is the video we've been waiting for!
Hope you'll love the trip❤️
Funny to see you walking around in my neigbourhood^^ Living in Sliema. The dust on the cars is actually desert sand/dust, coming over with the wind from Afrika.
i loved Malta also as a tourist but when you live here, that´s another world
Those windows that sTick out on the outside as pointed out by Oskar are called galleria ❤️
Greetings from Malta guys! Have a great time. A lot to see and discover here. Enjoy!
OMG, I worked for M&S for couple of years so I took you very seariosly when you said its the best place in Malta! And Malta is great!
Loooove M&S😍
I'm so honoured that both you and Oskar have visited Malta.
Greetings from Stefan, Malta
Loved this video! Malta is such a great place - I’ve been three times now! The Marriott you stayed in is great too - the pool on the roof is tranquil compared to the busy streets below :)
Loved the hotel🙌 The view was incredible!
That's so true 🤩🤣..Europeans not only get into any available water. They sunbathe in the park during lunch break. That's adaptation to so few sunny days per year. So adorable 😍 💖
Glad you are enjoying our little Island 🏝
Lovely video!
Malta is absolutely on my bucket list! It was so nice being able to see the ocean and all of the beautiful limestone buildings! I will be sure to steer clear of the Euronet ATMs. Nothing infuriates me more than tourist traps like that! Can't wait for the next video!
Yes stay away from them😂
Am from malta and the country is really historical with the building
I used to live there! Malta we love Malta 🇲🇹 think the city is pronounced ‘Slee-ma’
Our neighbor from the sea who we can understand their language
Greetings from Libya 🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing your video. We have visited many counties in Europe but not Malta. It looks very pretty. If we ever get back to Europe from New Zealand will put it on our list.
I really like this!!! I lived in Malta for 3 months because of an international internship and I lived in Sliema and went a lot to valetta. so I am at every shot I REMEMBER THAT hahah. I was ther from february 14th till april 30th 2022.
🙌😆
acai is my obbesion too! thanks!!
Glad you guys are enjoying the island. Regards from Malta.
This is another great and funny video. Love your choice of music. Hope that you will do several more on Malta!
The count of Monte Cristo brought me here. Can’t wait to visit
you two are so smart to share travel....right on
Wonderful ❤
Thank you for sharing another great video. I always liked it too. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
the "dust" on the cars is from the Sirocco -- the winds literally blowing Sahara sand from Africa
Love how you guys mentions 3 things i really love , beauty sympathy Cultre Gay life and Eurovision in Malta
Wow the view of a tourist is so different to that of a local! As a local, Sliema to us is just chaos ! maybe it's mostly related to the shopping area and issues with traffic and lack of parking, with the narrow streets you showed offering some solace. Valletta is the country's capital city and is wonderful at night. Great restaurants, wineries and lounge bars. Also Valletta lit up at night is beautiful.
I visit Malta 🇲🇹 couple weeks ago one of the best countries I’ve been too in Europe.
Woww what a beautiful place! I hope I could visit Malta one day... You both look awesome, Oskar & Dan!! Btw I really love Dan's t-shirt @6:19 I want that t-shirt too!
Great vlog as always. I wish that visited the historical sights and told us about them. The bay windows reminded me to Al Balad (Old town of Jeddah). I also never thought OakBerry would be that good. I'll give it a try.
You should check out the restaurant "Wigi's" next to the Swedish bar. It's insanely good - sure they offer vegan options as well, but double check beforehand. It's a rotating menu and changes daily - we visited twice in 3 days back in April and half the menu changed!
Awesome video! Looks pretty there
This place is crazy amazing
On the cars there is sand that blows in from the dessert, it is basically everyone. I live in Malta but I am from Sweden.
Sry spelling mistake it is basically everywhere
Great video guys! We were in Malta a few months ago and your observations are spot on! Also the Euronet ATMs 😡😡 I completely agree! The commission fees are ridiculous..
They don't deserve to exist😅😠
I Love You Oskar and Dan....
Lets Go Malta!!!🇲🇹🇲🇹
when i was in Malta a few weeks ago, i keep smelling this sweet scent used by men in Valletta. It smelled like citrus and floral, with some hints of musk and leather. most men used this, not sure if it is an aftershave or a perfume. does anyone know what it is?
Always look forward to your adventures! Tell us how ya REALLY feel about Euronet atm’s 🤣
HAH! "Pest" and "plague" describe them pretty well😉
Maltese is a mix of Italian, Arabic, English and French
I'm Maltese,so tks for coming to Malta.The cars are so dirty cause we had strong winds coming from the Sahara desert,another thing its not called ocean but sea (The Mediterranean sea) You should have gone to more beautiful places instead of Valletta and Sliema.
I'm from malta hope you had fun
Hello -i liked your vlog !!
I WILL visit Malta for 6 nights (20-26 DEC) with my wife and 2 daughters(9and 8).
And I have a couple on questions …
1- is it worth visiting playmobil FunPark Malta- and Popeye Village?
2-is it possible to use credit card to get bus tickets and ferry tickets
(say from Senglea to valleta)
3-for buying a phone sim card=is there a company u recommend ?
4- what is the best Christmas market in malta?
5-are there any apps u recommend installing for tourists in malta ?
enjoy staying here in malta
Great video, Malta seems dope! Off topic question, what brand are these glasses? 2:30
They're from a brand called Heritage and have been impossible to find a new pair anywhere😭 Bought them in Playa del Carmen, Mexico haha
@@OskarandDan nooooo
I went to Malta a few years ago and I stayed in St.Julians but I think Sliema was so much better and yes Valletta was a cool place to visit
Great video as usual. Interested that you may be considering a cruise. Just be warned that there are so many different types of ship and cruise lines and they can be like chalk and cheese. I personally think you would love the smaller ship expedition cruises with people like Silversea for instance. Expensive, but destination and activity rich. Whatever you decide choose carefully !
Thanks for the tips Howard!
It looks really beautiful Malta :)
Quite close to my country (Spain) and never visited!!!
In which month did they blogged in malta? Do somebody know this?
Hi Oskar and Dan, your vlog about Malta absolutely good and I hope you will do a vlog in India as well.
Sliema means peaceful, calm, safe. It's pronounced like sleeeema. Ie is a long e sound.
Best country in the world proud to be Maltese. ❤❤❤❤❤
What a lovely content ! that's super cool ! Absolutely amazing ! Big thumbs up 👍🙂New follower 😀
I wanna go so bad now 😩
Putting Malta on my list of countries to visit, thanks for the video. Since you have been to Hong Kong I assume you made a pilgrimage to M&S there as well?
Think so! But it was years ago😆
Why not st.john's cathedral
I can see the hotel I stayed in when I was there last year at @8:43 😃
Dan your English is so good.
Dan is half American!
what month did you go
Nice place to visit
Marriot hotel is very nice
I must go
Great video! We were in Malta a few years back and yes, was pretty great. Except dammit, now I can’t get that Eurovision song out of my head. 😎
HAH! Like a star together we'll shine🎶
For 10 years you must be going crazy like me I want to uk😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
EuroNet ATM! So that's why my withdrawal in Firenze had 3 different fees? $295 withdrawal, $12.36 in fees.
YES they suck🤦♂️
Omg Dan can't remember South Park 🤣🤣🤣
Been offline for a while. Missed seeing the world with you. Need more shots of vegan food! ;-)
The cause of dirty cars? Look at the map and you will see a rather large sandbox just to the south. Living in Malta now and glad that I don't have a car.
