Working abroad always seemed like a big step, but during my gap year I decided to give it a go. A solo trip to Tenerife gave me a taste of freedom and adventure. Travelling, meeting new people and challenging myself was amazing. That's when I realised: I want to do this every day! 😍

The first step: finding a job

To be honest, I had no idea where to start. I was only 19 years old and I knew I wanted to have a unique experience, but I didn't have a specific destination or job in mind. What I did know? I wanted to start a new chapter! During my job search, I came across Yobbers on Instagram.

I looked at the job listings and got more and more excited! Yobbers was more than just a website with jobs; they really wanted me to succeed in my adventure. They were there from the beginning, guiding me every step of the way.

Why Malta?

When I decided to actually go, I obviously had to choose a destination. Malta quickly became as my ideal choice. The job I found through Yobbers immediately caught my interest. The position as an Online Croupier was a step out of my comfort zone, and that’s exactly what I wanted! Additionally, Malta seemed like the perfect place for my first experience abroad. I heard many positive stories about the island—the sun, the atmosphere, and especially how safe it was. That last point gave me a lot of peace, as it’s quite exciting to leave for a new country all alone. 😅

The idea of a small island filled with culture, beaches, and a vibrant expat community made the choice even easier. Malta felt like a place where I could challenge myself while also enjoying my freedom!

The application process: exciting but smooth

Of course, I was nervous when I started applying for jobs. The idea of working abroad was thrilling but also intimidating. What if it becomes too overwhelming? Thankfully, the application process through Yobbers was really straightforward. From the first contact, I felt heard and understood. They took the time to answer my questions and concerns.

During the interview, I gained a clear understanding of what to expect. They ensured I knew what I was getting into, which gave me confidence. The recruiters were friendly, understanding, and engaged, allowing me to quickly forget my nerves. I didn't only find a job but also a team eager to help make my adventure a success!

Moving to Malta

Moving to Malta was an adventure itself. Thankfully, Yobbers helped me with the biggest challenges. They arranged free accommodation for the first three weeks, giving me the time and space to settle in and search for my own place.

I met another girl trough Yobbers who was also relocating to Malta. We decided to look for an apartment together, which was a huge relief. Together, we found a place online, and it felt like I had a buddy from day one in this new adventure! Finding an apartment went smoothly, and I quickly felt at home in my new place. 🏠

An unforgettable experience

My time in Malta was one of the best experiences of my life! Leaving my ‘old life’ behind was scary, but it was so worth it. I discovered so much about myself, made amazing new friends and grew in ways I never expected.

The support from Yobbers really made all the difference. They were always there for me, whether I had questions or just needed an extra boost of motivation. With their help, I never felt alone, even in a completely new environment.

Malta has given me more than I ever imagined! From sunny days on the beach to evenings exploring the city with colleagues, it was an adventure I'll never forget. ❤️
