I became interested in exploring the islands of Malta and Gozo after reading claims that they were formerly part of Atlantis. I hiked and hitchhiked all over the islands, camping every night on a 5 week film-making trip on the hunt for dolmen, standing stones, the mysterious cart-ruts and some of the oldest free-standing temples in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>

We didn’t just visit the ‘old stuff’ (I was travelling with Rich) we also spent a week volunteering at The Vortex – an eco-friendly project aiming to raise the consciousness of the planet by creating a self-sufficient, peaceful and creative village. Our time there made them realize the importance of eco-living and self-sufficiency and it spawned a new Modern Explorers project \u2013 Eco-friendly Living<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
