Boycott Eurovision
A brief history lesson. After the genocide of the Jewish people during WW2 by the Nazis, the Jewish community all over Europe, who had been suffering from anti-Semitism for centuries, decided that it was time to leave Europe and return back to their Holy Land provided to them by God. Palestine. In the beginning of…

Avengers End Game
WARNING SPOILERS I’ve been a huge fan of Marvel movies ever since the first Iron Man movie came out. For Marvel fans like myself, we had been waiting an entire year for the last movie in which our beloved characters would feature.

Karla Brading
I got the opportunity to meet and interview Karla Brading about two weeks ago, an author skilled at tackling difficult subject matter with delicate and heart-warming plots. When I heard an foreign author was coming to Gozo, I knew I had to meet her. Born and raised in Wales, Brading attended the University of South…

The Perks of Great Expectations
This week, I was reading two books in particular; The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Great Expectations. From two different periods of time, you’d think that these two books have nothing to do with each other. The irony is that at one point while I was reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower, my…

Only in Nadur
This week, I was a tad late with my blog post but I have a good reason! One word. Carnival. The best carnival in the Maltese Islands can be found only in Nadur, Gozo. Carnival is a religious feast dedicated to alcohol and partying. For most people from Nadur, like myself, carnival is always a…

On the 3rd of December 2013, a boat carrying migrants from Libya to Italy sank off of the Italian island of Lampedusa. The migrants were originally from Eritrea, Somalia and Ghana. Approximately 360 deaths were reported. This happens every day in the Mediterranean Sea. An organization called Comitato Tre Ottobre was organized to commemorate the…

Scandinavian Airlines
Remember how I expressed my endearing love for airplanes last week? Well, one of my trips last year was to Östersund in Sweden and my visit there truly was amazing that I had to post about it. I remember, when I arrived in Stockholm and was getting off the plane, a little Swedish girl kept…

Being a Young Author
At the age of fourteen, I published my first book, The Legend of Amanda Robins. You are probably thinking that is mind-blowing. It kind of is, I’ll admit that. I try to be humble. Writing was something in me that I did not know was in me. It evolved from many things. My elementary school…
