'''Malta''' is a small island nation located in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].
It is very densely populated, and there is very little distance between centres. Hitching is very easy though, often you don't even have to leave town. [[Gozo ]] Island especially is very easy to hitch around. Everyone knows English, and many can communicate in Italian and Arabic.
There's also the little island of [[Comino]] where there's a free campground. Camp out here at night and walk to the Blue Lagoon in the early morning before the tourist stampede arrives and swim to the Cominotto rock which has a cool swimming cave. Comino has a few roads, but barely any traffic and all corners are walking distance anyway.
Touchdown! That's a really cool way of ptuitng it!
== Hitchhiking in/out ==
As Malta is an island, one has to go [[boathitching]]. [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]] managed to hitchhike a yacht directly from [[Corfu]] in [[Greece]] in 2015 after spending six days dockwalking in the Gouvia Marina a few kilometers north of Corfu city. The closest land from Malta are [[Tunisia]] and [[Sicily]] in [[Italy]], but to the continent of [[Africa]] there's not a whole lot going especially after the attacks on hotels in Tunisia. Malta has a buttload of marinas with moored private yachts year round. Go to the captain's office so they know your face and purpose plus you can get access to the often locked docks. you have to have a telephone number to be called by the people with potential offers.
There's also a ferry going to [[Sicily]] on a daily basis which costs €140 one-way and €74 day return ticket. You're not being forced to return, so take the return ticket.
