What did I pack for Malta?
As usual, after a trip I always like to review how my preparation and organization went. Mostly how I pack, and it is interesting to see that not everything goes as expected.

Explore the Glacier Express from St. Moritz to Zermatt
Traveling by train is, for me, one of the best ways to travel. The comfort, no traffic jams, and a lot of times passing by gorgeous and remote areas.

Another island I’ve visited in Greece! This time it was Hydra‘s turn, a special island where there are no motorized vehicles! Or you cycle (I didn’t see any bikes), or you take a donkey…, or you do like myself, and you walk.
