I'm Maltese, OP. It's a country-sized town. The shit I can "explore" is incredibly tiny by non-islander stadards, treacherous or illegal without permits/guides (this is because they want everyone's money, you see!).
Fuck my country. There's beauty but not the kind of beauty I can appreciate anymore. I have travelled but not enough to get used to it y'know? Even the smallest things take me by surprise, like trains. We don't have trains here. This makes me go full Twoflower everytime I go abroad. You can imagine my lack of breath when I see some of the photos of hikers here, hills, valleys, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and shit as far as the eye can see! We maltese feel a 10km bus ride is HUGE! Imagine my fucking face when the drive between cities in england takes like 4 fucking hours minimum BY CAR without traffic.
I'm such a sheltered islander, everything takes my breath away. Mixed feels, bro.
