I have been in Malta for 18 yrs and I am leaving end of July, things such as the rubbish/transport become normal and accepted after a while. What Bali is correct in saying is that you leave because there is a pull factor elsewhere and not because of any significant problems in Malta. Work has always been easy to find, the people are great and apartments are easy to find although getting expensive. I have been really lucky, I rent a one bedroom town house in Naxxar for 400 euros and 60 euros toward water/electricity (always end up with a refund every three months) I have an agreement with my landlord to maintain the property. Cost of living is getting out of control, even though this is worldwide the retailers have really capitalised on the situation, it is actually cheaper to buy British brands compared to local and Italian goods. The only reason I am leaving is because I have small Island syndrome, I have seen all of Malta and Gozo and after a while it all seems the same, also your heart always belongs at home and this is what is finally pulling me back to the UK. Malta thank you for all your love and what you have provided and I will leave with a heavy heart x.
He is so articulate for a young person. Very polite and well informed and not insulting Malta. I’m glad nobody interviewed me on UA-cam when I was his age.
It is very interesting for me, being Maltese, to hear the different opinions about Malta. Why people love it so much and they choose to leave their home country for a better life. When you live life mostly in the same country you tend to stop seeing the good side. So these videos make me appreciate more my country.
I lived in the USA and never stopped seeing the good side (I was there for 2 years) though I would not like to go back there now! Coming from England, I find Maltese and Gozitan attitudes can be a tad insular and a sense of humour to be lacking; but the lifestyle is generally relaxed and it is far easier to do everyday things here - shopping, travelling around, chatting to people around the village or in town, relaxing in a cafe or restaurant, etc - and these things are often a lot more pleasant here as well. Over-development is the biggest visible threat on both Malta and Gozo, imo, and ruination of what is basically a rural community with beautiful old architecture is marching forward without brakes from the government, etc. Crazy! You would never see such foolishness on a Greek island such as Crete.
Malta sells a fake lifestyle and many other things. Maltese people should be ashamed of creating a slavery country. Highly immigration happens in many other countries, the operational job positions are the same as Malta but people can at least save money and have a minimum comfortable life. Again: Malta is a slavery country.
You're in for a shock,as the cost of living in Australua is through the roof,the most taxed in the world renting a place is a nightmare, good luck, i was born where you done the interview,i didn't appreciate you calling malta dirty
@@martysfluidart I m Maltese and unfortunately we have to accept the fact that the collection of garbage is not working properly, mostly cos people don t follow the rules set. I believe in being told what s wrong so we can improve. As to the cost of living in Australia I LL agree with you that dining out was as expensive as over here and housing expenses have gone through the roof.
@@denisefalzon8446 i took offence when he said malta is dirty ,people should look in their own backyard before rubbishing ours,seem like an entiltled little so and so ,we don't need people like that.
@@denisefalzon8446 I'm Maltese Australian, living in the UK for now. I go back to Australia often staying with family, I went for three and a half months last year, we went out often to eat, I agree it's very expensive also the housing.
Great interview with an articulate young man--as others have noted, you conducted a truly natural, solid interview that gave very useful information for anyone who's wondering about cost of living there and salaries for a job that requires specialized skills. I wish Bali success and good fortune in his future endeavors. Today it's so hard for young people everywhere in this uncertain world and economy! Thank you, Alex, for continuing to cover everyday, modern life issues in Malta.
‘Go well’ as they say in my country. The world is your oyster young man. You voiced that beautifully. Don’t give up on your dream of visiting Australia one day. We hosted a young man from Europe, very similar to you when we lived there. If you do manage to get a visa, I’ll put u in touch with our son and daughter who still live there. They will gladly put you up. Good luck and bon voyage
Lovely interview Alex. Im sure Bali will do very well here in Australia, but I hope he does his research. Housing is very expensive and cost of living just keeps going up! He will be an asset to this country!
Good luck Bali🍀 welcome back to the UK🙋♀️. You clearly have got a good head on your shoulders, working towards achieving your dreams rather than expecting them to land in your lap. Wishing you all the best with them coming true. I also like from both of you that whilst naturally there are negatives that you dont like (as with all countries ) neither of you are dissing Malta. Gorgeous backdrop 😍
I've been living in Malta for 3 years and I'm from England. I am leaving Malta next month. I originally came to Malta for University and to live with my partner. We had plans on staying in Malta for many many years but, unfortunatley, have decided to leave (once my final semester at uni is finished) as it's WAY too expensive here for us and Malta doesn't offer us the same opportunities as the UK. Even with my partner working full-time and myself working part-time, we are still struggling so much every month. However, we have loved living on the island and are very sad to leave! :(
Hi, I was born in Malta and have a Maltese background. Came to Australia when I was two. Now in my fifties. I wish I could tell Bali not to bother coming to Australia. We have the highest rentals, housing market, cost of living, cost of electricity in the world. Australia is going through so many changes that is going to divide us. It’s also a country where it’s hard to make friends. People are so down because it’s so hard to make ends meet. I’ve been back to Malta three times. The weather is gorgeous. It’s a great place because their second language is english which makes it easy for tourists. Unfortunately Malta is becoming overpopulated as is everywhere around the world. And too many over construction, again like everywhere in the world. I wish Bali the best. More of these videos, Alex. Love them.
Come to Malta 🇲🇹 it’s a 💩 hole place. Poverty wages No green areas No discipline Arab island Concrete jungle No wildlife Nothing Over charged on everything
Alex thanks for this beautiful conversation with this young man Bally It helps people like me who are praying and planning 😢 visit Malta any I pray May Father GOD bless Bally and you more in your upcoming plans.
If he's disappointed about the cost of living and housing in Malta he will be heartbroken once he lands in Australia where the cost of living is out of control and where you have to be a millionaire as of now to afford a house.
I've been in Malta for a few months now. I've also noticed groceries are about 30% more expensive compared to home (Netherlands). And I go to Lidl in both places, so it's easily noticeable between similar products. Housing isn't a lot cheaper either, with rentals as well as home purchases. Although I would never even consider buying here due to the overpopulation. I'll be moving on after 4,5 months, but it'll be easier for me as a remote worker. Malta is nice, but mostly for a couple months up to maybe a few years. On the upside, weather here is definitely amazing and it's easy to meet people. There's also plenty of touristy things to do, but there's only so much to see and nothing that's majorly impressive. Interesting video and thanks for your content Alex!
Best wishes to Bali. I live in Australia and although it can be very expensive, it is a beautiful country with endless possibilities. Malta is a country I have never been to, but I know Maltese people and I would love to go there.
Well done Bali, I left Malta back in 1998 and never looked back and yes, I live in Melbourne Australia which is the third most livable city in the World. I love Australia and must say, I have achieved a great career here in Australia. I wish you the best of luck and if you work hard and find a pharmaceutical/chemist company they might take you on as an intake. You just have to pursue and be strong as when you work towards you're dreams, they will eventually come true. Malta is a beautiful place for a holiday and I love it as some of my family still live in Malta too xoxox
Hes in for a shock coming to Australia, cost of living here is through the roof ,renting a place is near impossible and in 18 months time things will be worse
The cost of living has been rising everywhere. After the pandemic, inflation was the effect of how governments mishandled the crisis. I am Canadian and I live in a border city so I am in the USA quite frequently. I also have family in Australia and the UK. People in all these places are dealing with rising costs of housing, groceries, transport, and taxes. I hope we can turn this around because young people are having a rough start.
Really like this Hungarian guy - Independent, great English and his own man already . If he lived in Spain or Italy he’d still be living with his mother 😂
Very interesting interview sir, the experiences of living in Malta 👏 Bali best wishes to you to turn an "Aussie"!👍 Lovely place with excellent sea views, and the climate seems as if people would want to settle there forever.🙌👍
Alex excellent interview and he spoke very honestly.Bali seems good guy and I wishing him good luck for future.I’m in Australia the rent here so expensive compare the Dollar currency with Euro!!!!!!!!
Many people from former Eastern European countries having lived several years in UK or Ireland, really wish to live in nicer Southern European climate and life styles. But I can see their problem. They better go home. To adapt to normal salaries and look after their parents As his wish is to goto Australia, I would add that Australia has its own problems...
Bali is right about the cost of living and crowded buses in Malta. But Malta is safe, healthcare is excellent and services and facilities are readily available. English is an official language. I have residency on Malta but am away for retirement travelling.
@@AlexinMaltaYour interviews and trips around the smaller towns and villages are very interesting and make a refreshing change from others on here. Thank you and keep up the good work.
ALEX ,WHAT AN EXCELLENT GENUINE INTERVIEW 🎤 👏 . Shame to see a lovely young intelligent man like BALI leaving my country .However he's still a young man and hence should follow his dreams. If I was him, I would STAY IN UK 🙏 . Obviously ,I don't think he wants to return to Hungary 🇭🇺 🤪 ... I left my Malta 🇲🇹 ♥ for the UK 🇬🇧 ♥ and my BIGGEST mistake was leaving the latter for Australia 🇦🇺 😔. Notwithstanding, the average wage of Analytical Chemist in Australia is $65K (as at 1/2/23) and obviously more if one works in the Mining Industry. I advise BALI to stay up to date with the Australian Immigration NEWS as they're going to be a lot of imminent changes to fix the mess the system been in for these last 10yrs. Afterall, "Life is like a Vegemite Test" 😊. I wish young BALI all the best for the future .Bless him 🙏 . THANKS ALEX & Bali 🎥👏👏 Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™ .
The wages in professional fields are quite high in Australia but the cost of living is now super crazy. All the major cities also have a housing crisis and locals like me who have lived here struggle to get a spare room to rent. You have to really hustle and be very patient and persistent to get a room to sublet / share or your own apartment. A room to rent in Brisbane is $AUD250-400 per week and much higher in Sydney. Best of luck to Bali for his adventure to Australia.
@@deanbennett229 Hi Dean. I've been living in Oz for these last 35 years. I agree with what you said. However, re "wages in professional fields are quite high" I must point out the 'not quite high' work culture (mostly rotten to the core) eg : "racism, bullying, sexism, corruption and non existent loyalty. "Fair Go" is just a dilusion. Hope Bali got nerves of steel I say. Take care Dean 🙏. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Wishing Bali the best of luck with his future endeavors. He's an intelligent young man with a great future. Bali, you will find your "home" and thrive! Thank you for this interview, Alex. Where were you walking here? It's beautiful 😍
As a fellow Hungarian who lived around the same amount in Malta as Bali, it was really interesting to see this video! Ofc Hungary is not even in the picture...And sadly I can totally understand that..I'm still here, but always dreaming about coming back to Malta!
What this guy is saying is truly true!! I am sorry for him but unfortunately yes in Malta the salaries are a disaster and the cost of living is very high compared to low salaries. I am Maltese living in Vienna!! But of course, Malta is a beautiful place to experience living there but again all things which he mentioned are all true!! Good luck with your next move.
What a great young man. Best of luck,keep pursuing your dreams! Cost of living unfortunately is a problem in many places, it’s very tough for young people starting out. I live in Toronto and I’m encouraging my children to leave. To buy a one bedroom apartment here you need a household income of $160k a year, it’s very tough now.
Hello Alex. I following you. I will move to Malta in august. There is my husband and I wish to find a work there. I am teacher. I hope I could find this job.
@@AlexinMalta If you don't live at home and have to pay rent, you can't move forward here. When renting here you need 4 weeks bond and 4 weeks rent in advance before you move in. That comes to about $5,000. You have to pay electricity and water also.
@@AlexinMalta Yes salaries are much higher but you need to earn $AUD150,000+ to pay rent / bills and save anything. This is a high salary but anything under $100K in larger cities and you will struggle financially. I am Australian and have lived in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Adelaide and Darwin would be my recommendation to get a job and live to get ahead, have a good life and save $
@@AlexinMalta Salaries in Australia are much higher because everything is much more expensive compared to most EU countries. It would be impossible to live here with the average EU salary. A 65,000 EUR salary in Malta would be enough for a family to live decently and also get a mortgage. That's around AU$100,000 and you would likely need some form of government support here if you have family and rent. You can forget about mortgages with that amount.
would be great for holiday ,but island life i have tried it , is not the same long term , nice place though , he will love australia we need these type of people
Good, honest interview! Never have been to Malta but after 20years in UK, money/career are the last thing on my list as now am desperate for light and Sun!!!
€650 per month for an apartment is incredibly cheap. Beware of the UK rental prices as they’re going up even in the midlands. Ireland is off the wall. You’d pay €2000 minimum per month plus sky high bills.
I am coming to Malta in June, my 11th trip in 12yrs. Love the place but having watched several video's, I have no intention of buying to live there now. England has now left the EU so it would be difficult to live there with all the paperwork you have to go thro. I think 3 months is enough.
I am an actress and also film prop maker make up artist etc was in a page and it said we need actors for a traveling questionnaire question and answer.I am Maltese and know for sure that this young guy could be Maltese especially when he said (paceville)trying to swing it a bit.I worked with San Andrea students for some years and also San Anton schools in Mgarr also Chiswick All English speaking and spent hours and hours with them.I was waiting for a (U -and in Maltese) or a (Mela-of course) when he is speaking
We all think that the grass is greener on the other side, my late dad used to say: yes, it is because it has more manure. Very unstable when you move Countries, One loses the equilibrium, never to walk steady again.
It is very interesting for me.I'm from Pakistan .please interview a pharmacist and share his experience with us. I want to move Malta and Work as a pharmacist.I will be really thankful to you.
Been in Australia for 15 years . I do IT. It’s been great until last year . It’s becoming harder and harder to afford the cost of living and jobs due to the mass migration from India. I wish more people like Bali came to Australia instead .
People tend to mention the cost of food and renting in Malta which yes is pretty expensive. But as we all know, there are other costs that are equally important such as, clothes, shoes, gadgets, dining out, perhaps a car and of course holidays. When you factor all of this combined, then you can honestly say if Malta is still worth living here or not . Because let's face it, if you are a single person earning €1000 per month net, you can forget about living a comfortable lifestyle. I could go on and on, but it would take me ages to finish. Hope you had a great time at Notte Bianca Alexa 😅. Of all the places to have met with you 😅😅😅. Any hooo, life is a journey I say, and as we grow older and experience the world, our priorities change also. Good luck to all who decide to venture out and experience what this World has to offer.
@@AlexinMalta I thought the live here cheaper but here expensive , my work not worth for me that`s why I will moved , on the hand Malta good not bad but the person need good job and more money
Australia is very expensive it's impossible to buy a home there. Sure great wages but the rents are crazy you pay every week not month so mate I think you should rethink it.
As a rule locals are paid more than foreigners for the same job.. foreigners are mainly cheap labour. Live in Malta but work abroad...if your job permits. And don't buy any property. Stay flexible
Listening to young gentlemen and how he idolized his dream about living in Australia... I am thinking that he is not going to find there what he believes he is going to find. Australia as well doesn't offer easily and often well paid jobs, yet the costs of living are exorbitant. Anyhow, everyone has to try their own luck, but my advise is: do your research before you decide to make the leap. More often then not, move endsup being like jumping from the frying pen into the fire. I am talking about financial success. Experience wise, moving countries is great learning experience!!!!

@@AlexinMalta myself lived almost 3 years in Malta. Some years ago now. An experience of a lifetime! Also spent all in all over a year in Australia!
This area looks a bit like Pasalimani, Piraeus, Greece. The most striking difference is that the Maltese drive on the left. 😃
I will google those places :)
This guy deserves 1M ❤
Im sending you a big big hug
@@AlexinMalta Hold on I will Hug you when I will Come to Malta 🤞🏻
@@Dark-Humour. i love hugs😇
@@AlexinMalta waiting 😃
Very helpful video thank you bali and alex
Thanks for watching, glad it helped
Excellent and interesting interview Alex. Well done
Very informative Al.
Thank you
I hope he fulfills his dream, but as an Aussie he wont be able to save here everything is so expensive...gr8 video Alex 👍😀
Thank you
Bali is right about the cost of living and crowded buses in Malta. But Malta is safe, healthcare is excellent and services and facilities are readily available. English is an official language. I have residency on Malta but am away for retirement travelling.
Thank you for your good work!
Pleasure
great interview.
Thanks Dave
@@AlexinMaltaYour interviews and trips around the smaller towns and villages are very interesting and make a refreshing change from others on here. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Australia is very expensive, so the young man must be prepared.
I guess he did a research
Great Job Alex!
ALEX ,WHAT AN EXCELLENT GENUINE INTERVIEW 🎤 👏 .
Shame to see a lovely young intelligent man like BALI leaving my country .However he's still a young man and hence should follow his dreams. If I was him, I would STAY IN UK 🙏 . Obviously ,I don't think he wants to return to Hungary 🇭🇺 🤪 ... I left my Malta 🇲🇹 ♥ for the UK 🇬🇧 ♥ and my BIGGEST mistake was leaving the latter for Australia 🇦🇺 😔. Notwithstanding, the average wage of Analytical Chemist in Australia is $65K (as at 1/2/23) and obviously more if one works in the Mining Industry. I advise BALI to stay up to date with the Australian Immigration NEWS as they're going to be a lot of imminent changes to fix the mess the system been in for these last 10yrs. Afterall, "Life is like a Vegemite Test" 😊. I wish young BALI all the best for the future .Bless him 🙏 .
THANKS ALEX & Bali 🎥👏👏
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™ .
Thanks for the insight John. Thank you so much! It was a pleasure talking with Bali, such a nice guy
The wages in professional fields are quite high in Australia but the cost of living is now super crazy. All the major cities also have a housing crisis and locals like me who have lived here struggle to get a spare room to rent. You have to really hustle and be very patient and persistent to get a room to sublet / share or your own apartment. A room to rent in Brisbane is $AUD250-400 per week and much higher in Sydney. Best of luck to Bali for his adventure to Australia.
@@deanbennett229 Hi Dean. I've been living in Oz for these last 35 years. I agree with what you said. However, re "wages in professional fields are quite high" I must point out the 'not quite high' work culture (mostly rotten to the core) eg : "racism, bullying, sexism, corruption and non existent loyalty. "Fair Go" is just a dilusion. Hope Bali got nerves of steel I say.
Take care Dean 🙏.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
This video last Saturday shooted in st. Julian's. I saw you alex😎
Hehe yes ;)
Wow,i like this kind of vlogg. I hope you will do it in different country.
❤️will try
Wishing Bali the best of luck with his future endeavors. He's an intelligent young man with a great future. Bali, you will find your "home" and thrive!
Thank you for this interview, Alex. Where were you walking here? It's beautiful 😍
Thank you so much. This is the promenade from Balluta bay to Spinola Bay
@@AlexinMalta beautiful 😍
As a fellow Hungarian who lived around the same amount in Malta as Bali, it was really interesting to see this video! Ofc Hungary is not even in the picture...And sadly I can totally understand that..I'm still here, but always dreaming about coming back to Malta!
Maltas doors are open 😇
I recently moved to UK from Malta ....after living for years...the id card took 2 days malta rest is u know
✌🏻
What this guy is saying is truly true!! I am sorry for him but unfortunately yes in Malta the salaries are a disaster and the cost of living is very high compared to low salaries. I am Maltese living in Vienna!! But of course, Malta is a beautiful place to experience living there but again all things which he mentioned are all true!! Good luck with your next move.
Thank you for commenting Raphael
Really? The salary is very low and tye cost of living is very high??😢😢
I am Hungarian as well but planning to move to Malta 🙏🏻☺️
(As a lawyer)
Good luck ❤️

Thanks 🩷

Can I have your WhatsApp or instagram?
Good luck ❤
@@AlexinMalta she needs it..
What a great young man. Best of luck,keep pursuing your dreams!
Cost of living unfortunately is a problem in many places, it’s very tough for young people starting out. I live in Toronto and I’m encouraging my children to leave. To buy a one bedroom apartment here you need a household income of $160k a year, it’s very tough now.
Thanks Joseph
Hello Alex. I following you. I will move to Malta in august. There is my husband and I wish to find a work there. I am teacher. I hope I could find this job.
Good luck dear
Very nice video.I live in Telford (Uk).
Nice
Bali will be in for a shock when he comes to Australia. It is so expensive here.
You tell him
Salaries are higher i guess
@@AlexinMalta If you don't live at home and have to pay rent, you can't move forward here.
When renting here you need 4 weeks bond and 4 weeks rent in advance before you move in. That comes to about $5,000. You have to pay electricity and water also.
@@AlexinMalta Yes salaries are much higher but you need to earn $AUD150,000+ to pay rent / bills and save anything. This is a high salary but anything under $100K in larger cities and you will struggle financially. I am Australian and have lived in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Adelaide and Darwin would be my recommendation to get a job and live to get ahead, have a good life and save $
@@AlexinMalta Salaries in Australia are much higher because everything is much more expensive compared to most EU countries. It would be impossible to live here with the average EU salary. A 65,000 EUR salary in Malta would be enough for a family to live decently and also get a mortgage. That's around AU$100,000 and you would likely need some form of government support here if you have family and rent. You can forget about mortgages with that amount.
would be great for holiday ,but island life i have tried it , is not the same long term , nice place though , he will love australia we need these type of people
I hope this young man has asked for references to carry away with him. He looks so smart.
He is so smart indeed
Watched your videos , Malta is of my list of places to live w my family , 😊
A video related to life of a family in Malta, coming soon :)
i am from malta❤❤
Bongu❤️
Good, honest interview! Never have been to Malta but after 20years in UK, money/career are the last thing on my list as now am desperate for light and Sun!!!
Luckily I meet with u while i delivery food from Dr.juice 😀😀 Thanks for choosing Wolt
❤Goodluck✈️

€650 per month for an apartment is incredibly cheap. Beware of the UK rental prices as they’re going up even in the midlands. Ireland is off the wall. You’d pay €2000 minimum per month plus sky high bills.
Wow !😳
In London 1000 pounds is just for a room!!
@@angelinaperfumes same in Dublin. A single ROOM is about a grand per month. That’s if you can find one for rent
Thanks 🙏🙏
Awesome information bro 👌
650 for an apartment :) he was really lucky
Yap
The grass is always greener on the other side
I am coming to Malta in June, my 11th trip in 12yrs. Love the place but having watched several video's, I have no intention of buying to live there now. England has now left the EU so it would be difficult to live there with all the paperwork you have to go thro. I think 3 months is enough.
Thanks for commenting
Funny how he has acquired the Maltese-English accent.
Yap
I am an actress and also film prop maker make up artist etc was in a page and it said we need actors for a traveling questionnaire question and answer.I am Maltese and know for sure that this young guy could be Maltese especially when he said (paceville)trying to swing it a bit.I worked with San Andrea students for some years and also San Anton schools in Mgarr also Chiswick All English speaking and spent hours and hours with them.I was waiting for a (U -and in Maltese) or a (Mela-of course) when he is speaking
hello Alex EID MUBARAK
Hey hey
amazing 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you
Thanks
Thank you ❤️🫶🏻
That was a great honest explanation. Would have been good to hear the positives of living in Malta. Not that I need to be convinced as I'm Maltese.
Thank you 🤩
probably the fact that uni is free and you receive stipend
Im 10 months you did not worked out your social life. i am here for 7 years and I wanna change, ostja!
Madof :)
alex great questions thanks
We all think that the grass is greener on the other side, my late dad used to say: yes, it is
because it has more manure. Very unstable when you move Countries, One loses the
equilibrium, never to walk steady again.
Very true.
It is very interesting for me.I'm from Pakistan .please interview a pharmacist and share his experience with us. I want to move Malta and Work as a pharmacist.I will be really thankful to you.
Bye bye! Good luck :)
✌🏻
Been in Australia for 15 years . I do IT. It’s been great until last year . It’s becoming harder and harder to afford the cost of living and jobs due to the mass migration from India. I wish more people like Bali came to Australia instead .
thanks for sharing this
People tend to mention the cost of food and renting in Malta which yes is pretty expensive. But as we all know, there are other costs that are equally important such as, clothes, shoes, gadgets, dining out, perhaps a car and of course holidays. When you factor all of this combined, then you can honestly say if Malta is still worth living here or not . Because let's face it, if you are a single person earning €1000 per month net, you can forget about living a comfortable lifestyle. I could go on and on, but it would take me ages to finish. Hope you had a great time at Notte Bianca Alexa 😅. Of all the places to have met with you 😅😅😅. Any hooo, life is a journey I say, and as we grow older and experience the world, our priorities change also. Good luck to all who decide to venture out and experience what this World has to offer.
Also , I want leave Malta after 6 month working here
Give me details
@@AlexinMalta I thought the live here cheaper but here expensive , my work not worth for me that`s why I will moved , on the hand Malta good not bad but the person need good job and more money
Australia is very expensive it's impossible to buy a home there. Sure great wages but the rents are crazy you pay every week not month so mate I think you should rethink it.
As a rule locals are paid more than foreigners for the same job.. foreigners are mainly cheap labour. Live in Malta but work abroad...if your job permits. And don't buy any property. Stay flexible
True
Last day alex i was there st julians bay
Great
Listening to young gentlemen and how he idolized his dream about living in Australia...
I am thinking that he is not going to find there what he believes he is going to find.
Australia as well doesn't offer easily and often well paid jobs, yet the costs of living are exorbitant.
Anyhow, everyone has to try their own luck, but my advise is: do your research before you decide to make the leap.
More often then not, move endsup being like jumping from the frying pen into the fire. I am talking about financial success. Experience wise, moving countries is great learning experience!!!!
