About Activity

I have been living in Malta for almost four years now. I'm a writer, formerly from the US. I couldn't afford life in the US anymore (esp the health insurance). Biggest worry was leaving my grown daughters, but we're working it out. Writing about all this in my blog: www.An-American-in-Malta.com. My new e-book is out: The Diary of An American Expatriate, published by AUK in London, and available on Amazon.com, iTunes, Barnes and Noble, etc. At first I didn't miss Americans; now I do and want to meet some like myself, especially those who have kids back in the US. Let me know what you think.

Interests: movies, Writing and photography, sherlock holmes, cats, collecting pottery, , egypt

Is this really the way Malta wants to be seen ? by ricky

I don't get it either. I take my life in my hands every time I cross the street to go to work, anywhere. The Maltese seem friendly, basically, on the street--but are filled with road rage behind the wheel--Ilene Read More
