Feeling of home

Ulla Littgren from Stockholm in Sweden has been to Malta over 25 times. In this article she explains why she feels at 'home' in Malta:

Why is it - that everytime the plane approaches this little spot in the Mediterranean sea, I get such a warm feeling all over - like I'm finally coming home again! And this is not at all "home" for me - it is really faraway from home - about 4000 kilometers, I think!...How come Malta feels so much "home"?

The people are very, very friendly and their hospitality is enormous! You never get the feeling that you are some kind of intruder - that you often can feel travelling for instance to Mallorca or Costa del Sol or so! It is also easy to communicate - since it seems all maltese speak english - at least the younger generation! But I would really like to learn how to speak maltese too !

I think perhaps that the colours of Malta also give a reflexion of pease and quietness! The light yellow-brown stone of Malta and all the houses in the same stone - makes everything so beautiful! And the blue sea that surrounds the islands - Malta, Gozo, Comino, Cominetto and Filfla. The flowers in springtime makes the island look like some heavenly pasture - I suppose this is what heaven looks like!...
