I chose Malta after quite a long period of researching various countries. I decided on it as the destination for quite a few reasons.
I like its small size and population, as well as its quite stable economy.
I like its relationship with the UK and Germany, both places which I would very much like to visit more just a few times.
Based on research, I like its culture and lifestyle. I like the same of several other countries, too. This bit was actually near the bottom of the list.
I am fascinated by old and antique places, and Malta certainly falls into that category. I know I could pick a lot of other places for that, but Malta seems more fun to me, at least for right now. Its proximity to Italy -- another country big on historical features -- is also a hope, skip, and a jump away. Bonus.
Having lived in the USA for so long, I would really like to live somewhere very small. The USA, I believe is too damn big, and I reckon I'm just reacting to that.
