Since the first day I stepped foot in Malta, I have developed a Maltese balcony obsession. Malta’s balconies, otherwise known as the gallarija, are traditional elements of the country’s architecture. They became popular in the late 17th century, with the first balconies featuring at Valletta’s Grand Master’s Palace, which then set off this spectacular trend.

After over a year of lockdowns, I have been craving a holiday for a very long time. Despite the fact that restrictions are starting to ease, the UK’s travel traffic light system realistically means that a holiday abroad still feels quite far from reach. With that in mind, I am planning to go on a few UK staycations, which I hope inspire you to explore your home country too! I went to Brighton, in East Sussex, during the end of May bank holiday weekend and with great company, sizzling sunshine and blue seas, definitely had the best time!
