The ultimate winter bucket list! Here's what to do in Malta & Gozo before winter's end
Keeping yourself occupied in the winter months is not only a way of retaining your sanity, but it’s also a great way of staying warm. Get active, inspire and motivate yourself to do more this winter season. Here’s the ultimate bucket list for winter 2019.
Be with nature
Head out of the house, pack a picnic, take your dog, call your friends and enjoy the beautiful green of the Maltese islands.
Get artsy
Whether you’re into painting, ceramics, photography or sketching silly doodles on a notepad, get creative and do something artsy.
Bake away
Any excuse to bake! Think of the warmth of the oven on your legs as you roll out a batch of sugar cookies. Prepare a warm crème brûlée or a coffee cake - and, take a sneaky bite of it as it is 'resting'.
Read more
Reading is fundamental! Grab a good book, sit in a café, sip a cappuccino and devour that story. Get off your seat only when it’s closing time - you wouldn't even have noticed the hours go by.
Go old-school
Give Netflix a break. Take a trip to the cinema, maybe even go on a date. Share a bucket of popcorn and hold hands in the theatre.
Drive around
Roam around in your friend’s car; roll the windows down to feel the crisp air hit your cheeks; take a few candid shots of the designated driver and keep the music pumpin’.
Reconnect
Give your nanniet a call or, better yet, pop over to say hello. They’re always happy to see you, always proud of you and always eager to feed you, even if it’s just some tea and biscuits.
Eat something new
Be adventurous with your food choices. Make it your mission to eat out of your comfort zone - a well exposed palette is a happier one.
Learn something new
Learn a new skill, maybe take up a new instrument, learn a language or take art lessons. You never know - you might fall in love.
Gozo calls
Gozo is the land of relaxation, wonder and beautiful nature. Savour the sister isle and make the most of its ample cafés, public gardens, restaurants and cultural spots - you’ll be pooped by the end of the day.
Camping for the brave
If you’re looking for something wild, get your tent out of storage and head to the countryside for a weekend of campfires, acoustic guitar and hanging hammocks. Oh yes, and the view!
Give back
Do something for someone else for a change! If you have a longing to give some furry friends a hand, or feel you need to give back somehow, find a deserving charity and get your hands dirty.
