The art of travel storytelling

August 24, 2022 Yanika Muscat Leave a comment

Travelling is my passion and I use it as an art of storytelling. Here, I want to inspire you to hit the road and travel. Meet different people, learn about cultures and try local food from around the World, either on a short getaway or leave your comfort zone and travel as far as you can. I look into life very deep. To clarify, I ask questions like ‘what is this experience showing me to learn and adapt’, and ‘What is the meaning here?'. I am not religious. My belief is that of a spiritual person with open hands to welcome and indulge in any kind of experience. For instance, I want to live deeply and simply. This connection to life turns my experiences into deep writing and a form of storytelling. Welcome to Travel..

A decision that pushed me to the edge

April 19, 2018 Yanika Muscat Leave a comment

My young life pushed me to a decision Growing up on a small Island, Malta, with its cultural and traditional way from a young age, lived with her parents until they got married and started their own family. I always thought being in the comfort zone will never let you explore your dreams in a way one is born to do. Travelling was always my thing since I was young. How it all started I started travelling at around the age of ten. My first trip was overland with my family. After that, I travelled again with my parents after two years. Travelling became an adventure for me that I loved, so this became my thing and on every opportunity I got, I said 'yes', as a teenager. Opportunities included: Travelling with a school ..

Explore your Own Country

Explore your own country Travelling is associated with booking a ticket and catching a flight, a cruise or a train and discover the new country and culture abroad and far away from your habitat country. Living in your own country, I believe that sometimes we skip discovering such places, especially that can't be reached by car. Realizing this, explore your own country from a different perspective at least once in your lifetime is something to treasure and experience something new. Among experiencing something new there are many reasons that one can explore your own country. First and foremost it will be affordable, you learn more about your country heritage and there are much to realize while you are travelling in your area. As I..
