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 KZfaq 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.

Thanks for having me for the interview! ❤

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.

‘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!

I’m watching this from Australia I’m sure he’ll be very happy here and we want people like him

I can see this channel be worldwide popular in close future. Keep it strong Alex. 😊😊

Good luck Bali! I wish the best for you! You are courageous and intelligent, be patient and you will reach your goals!

What a nice young man. I hope that he achieves his dream in Australia. Thank you, Alex.

Hi Alex, enjoyed that video , helpful for people . what a nice guy he was , good luck to him . 😊

great alex ! to speak with people and their personal meaning of the good and bad is really good

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 😍

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.

Super interesting video that really shows all sides. Proof that the grass always seems greener on the other side. Thanks for sharing the info!

Excellent and interesting interview Alex. Well done

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.

We really enjoyed this show this was a really good episode. Keep up the good work Alex. Philip and Debbie from Las Vegas Nevada

What a nice guy all the best to him.

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.

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! :(

Excellent interview and it's natural with no pressure.I got so much info for this segment Alex before moving on this country.👍

Great interview with this very bright mature articulate young man!

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.

Thank you for your good work!

Very helpful video thank you bali and alex

Smart young man, hoping officials listened, also by living in Malta, he will easily fit in Australia, lots of Maltese and Brits in Australia

Thank you, that was very interesting...and you asked all of the most important questions ...I

I just moved from the UK to Malta. The UK is a lot more expensive. Nice interview.

It's my first time watching one of your videos, Alex. Congrats.

Great review, I had a nice time in Malta last month. We stayed at the Westin Hotel .

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.🙌👍

Great Job Alex!

Nice one good luck down under!

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

Mr. Alex is a clever and good interviewer , you took out the very important things from his mind. Thank you Alex. You are wonderful.❤

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

I am in Malta studying English and your videos are very good to improve English, thanks.

Best of luck for pursuing your dreams, Bali!

I have the same opinion to what Bali mentioned..........wish him a good luck in his next step

Great video as always alex! Ur the most famous person living in malta;)

Very informative Al.

his english accent is suprisingly maltese!

thanks Alex and Bali

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!

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 😂

Awesome information bro 👌

great interview.

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...

Watched your videos , Malta is of my list of places to live w my family , 😊

I hope he fulfills his dream, but as an Aussie he wont be able to save here everything is so expensive...gr8 video Alex 👍😀

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.

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!!!!!!!!

For sure iwanna move to malta next year i like the place anyone there

Thank you guys

This video last Saturday shooted in st. Julian's. I saw you alex😎

alex great questions thanks

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 😍

Wow,i like this kind of vlogg. I hope you will do it in different country.

Very nice video.I live in Telford (Uk).

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.

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

Thanks 🙏🙏

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 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™ .

hello Alex EID MUBARAK

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!!!

❤Goodluck✈️

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!

Australia is very expensive, so the young man must be prepared.

This area looks a bit like Pasalimani, Piraeus, Greece. The most striking difference is that the Maltese drive on the left. 😃

Bali will be in for a shock when he comes to Australia. It is so expensive here.

Luckily I meet with u while i delivery food from Dr.juice 😀😀 Thanks for choosing Wolt

amazing 😊😊😊😊😊

i am from malta❤❤

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.

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 .

I hope this young man has asked for references to carry away with him. He looks so smart.

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.

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.

Bye bye! Good luck :)

This guy deserves 1M ❤

I am Hungarian as well but planning to move to Malta 🙏🏻☺️ (As a lawyer)

Thanks

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.

This video just confirms that Europe is a shit hole. I left Europe 5 years ago and never looked back❤❤❤. I now live in the Middle East (Abu Dhabi) and it’s such a beautiful place. No taxes, clean city nice people. Thank God for the Middle East ❤

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.

If our Governments took proper care of Malta, and kept it less overdeveloped, whilst keeping the opportunities thriving :(

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.

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.

Cost of living is really high in many English speaking countries now particularly in the last 6 to 10 months x

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

Im 10 months you did not worked out your social life. i am here for 7 years and I wanna change, ostja!

Funny how he has acquired the Maltese-English accent.

Heya, I'm a half maltese person (don't really look it, but i am) and I think Malta in general, is very good for financial and educational support and low crime rates, but lacks in so many other things. For one, the lack of greenery here is astounding. We're ranked lowest in europe with a forest area % of

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!!!!

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.
