FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF ALBANIA | Be careful in Tirana!! Our worst travel experience yet :(
Location: Tirana, Albania
Recorded: April 24, 2022
Vlog 136
In this vlog we headed from Budva in Montenegro to Tirana in Albania!
We started off by taking a bus from Budva to Podgorica, which is the capital of Montenegro. From there, we caught a bus that crossed the Albanian border and dropped us off in the city center of Tirana!
We then took a taxi to the airport, because we wanted to rent a car, and then drove finally to our Airbnb.
Our Airbnb in Tirana was great! We hung out for a few hours before picking up our friend from college Davina in the middle of the night.
The next day, we explored Tirana. We got some breakfast in the morning at Skanderberg square, toured the bunker museum and went to all the major monuments and places to see in Tirana.
We were planning on staying a few hours longer in Tirana, however, we almost got robbed, and certainly got verbally assaulted. Watch near the end of the video to see what we mean!
After this traumatic experience, we immediately left Tirana, and did a cool 4 hour drive down to Sarande in the south!
We hope you enjoy the vlog, and we are excited to show you more of Albania over the next few days!

Albania. The Country We Never Thought To Travel To. Big Release
#Albania #Travel #Feelgood
See the real Albania on an epic journey around the entire country in this Albania Travel Vlog. Albania is a hugely underestimated country when it comes to tourism and certainly isn't the usual place that your friends will recommend as a holiday destination. However, arriving here in Albania I was shocked to find out that there is a multitude of reasons as to why you would want to travel to Albania. The country has something for everyone, beaches, city life, mountains, unbelieveable nature, unique water springs, 2 oceans and it's all within reach within a 1-2 hour flight from anywhere in Europe.
Join me as I show you what the whole of Albania has to offer to travellers like you, as we travel from the City of Tirana, to the Albanian Riviera in the South and to the Albanian Alps in the North.

And in our travel vlog we do not only show you the bright side of Albania as a holiday destination (from a tourist perspective) but also tell you some interesting truths about the country.
If you have questions in mind like: How is Albania? Is it beautiful? Is it safe? How are the roads? How are the people? What's a good one week road trip itinerary? – They will certainly be answered!

Albania, The Good & Bad about living there. What I say might just SURPRISE you. An HONEST review.
As my time draws near to leaving Albania, I wanted to give you my honest review. As a tourist, I explained what it was like to live in the country for over seven months. Most of my experiences have been great, but there are some things that I think they can improve. Albania's tourism is one of the fastest-growing in all of Europe, so I think it is essential you know everything before you decide to visit or live.
