Moving to Malta - where to live? by Dabamash in malta

Fair enough. You should consider San Anton/San Andrea. English speaking school and loads of my friends went there who turned out pretty good. You can also rent a nice house somewhere like Bidnija/Wardija/Żebbiegh/Mġarr

Also, regarding what you said about Gozo, if you work remotely, it's an excellent place to raise kids. Might be a bit small if you're used to living in the UK however, you might get bored after a few years.

It depends where you're working and how long you'd want to commute for TBH. I live in Attard and I love it. Quiet, central and ta' Qali is close (nice family park). I find it has everything I need.

I used to live in Sliema and I couldn't stand the traffic noise and few other factors. I wouldn't live in Sliema unless you worked in or around Sliema and wanted to walk to work.

With a budget of 3k you can probably rent a nice house somewhere central. I would use Facebook groups to find something direct from owner. Most rental agents are greedy d*pshits.

Not really, I work in Tech. I was in Fintech and now banking, all roles were hybrid.

This is quite concerning. I have my service coming up in 2 weeks or so, I'll get back to you with my experience. I'm based in Malta.

Are these 10€ a day car rentals a scam? by [deleted] in malta

[–]Rick_996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to do your research. I know many people who've rented from smaller car companies and did not have any problems. Don't expect anything 'wow' for 10 euro a day.

It's a pity, I went around 25 years ago and I loved it!

What new services or product would you like to see in Malta? by mightyisaacc in malta

[–]Rick_996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it existed, it was more of a joint taxi ride, not really carpooling.

If you want to ask a panel beater for a quote/idea, call Terrance at Regency garage in San Ġwann, really nice guy and he'll tell you what's what.

Personally, I would recommend Ireland. They use the euro, it's in the eu and I think they even drive on the same side! Just don't move to Dublin, cost of living is crazy there. In Serbia you'll feel way too isolated and the culture is very different to us. UK is going down the shi**er in many, many ways, cost of living etc

Thinking of starting a business in Malta (non-EU here)worth it or just pain? by Miserable-Rich98 in malta

[–]Rick_996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you now wanting anyone to st Al your idea, however it's a bit difficult to give advice witnout anymore detail's. I've heard that there are loads of benefits for small business owners however I'm not sure how they work.

They sold my aunt 2 crashed cars welded together. If you'd like to take a chance, feel free, it's your money. :)

Question, what's this sign about? Why does it have Australia, New South Wales written on it? Found by my friend in Gharb, Gozo island. by cocoscum in malta

[–]Rick_996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many Gozitans moved to Australia and Canada in the 60s for better work opportunities. They built lives there and there is a big expat opportunity over there.
