Your Journey to Malta
Waking up every morning to the warm Mediterranean sun, hearing the sound of the waves, and having the turquoise waters right at your doorstep – this is how every day begins in Malta.
The New Beginning
My story began in Koblenz, a city that has changed significantly in recent years. The rising cost of living and everyday challenges made me start thinking about a new beginning.
The Path to Emigration
After completing two apprenticeships—one in the craft sector and another in the commercial sector—as well as a degree in business administration, I worked as a taxi driver to pave the way for my emigration. Malta, as a member of the EU, offered me the perfect opportunity: no visa issues, great weather, and the sea right at my doorstep.
My New Life in Malta
Choosing Malta completely transformed my life. In Malta, I found not only a new home but also a renewed sense of joy in life. The English language, the relaxed lifestyle, and the endless opportunities immediately captivated me.
A Safe Haven for the Family
As a father of two, it was important for me to find a safe and future-oriented place for my family.
In Germany, one job wasn’t enough to keep us afloat. In Malta, I was finally able to breathe and realize my dream of living by the sea.
It's time to take control of your own life...
...and I'll show you exactly how you can do it too!
