Do you speak Livonian? Does anyone?

You'd have to be living under a rock not to know how available the world is . . at your fingertips, in many cases. The internet, cheap flights, Google Translate on your phone. If you haven't lived the (sometimes) nightmare of trying to travel in the 1960's or 1970's, then thank your…

What (where and who) is St. Julian’s?

Malta is the answer. And it's a place that many often forget about, which is a huge shame. If you're not in the know, Malta itself is a beautiful Mediterranean island nation with a rich history, stunning landscapes, and a unique culture that makes it a compelling destination for travelers.
