Hi from Albania. Glad many are visiting here. I have been here for a year and a half and may make it my permanent residence. What might not have come thru on the video is how welcoming and spicy the people are here. Hot blooded culture who likes to stay very chill. Also there are fresh produce markets on every corner. And the fruit and veg comes straight from the backyard local gardens. So I welcome you all to Albania.

YAY! That makes me really happy - it is incredible!

Tirana was a wonderful destination with so much to see and do. The locals were extremely friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. I loved exploring the city's rich history and stunning architecture, and the local markets were a highlight of my trip. Overall, Tirana is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in experiencing a unique and vibrant culture.

What a beautiful place. I like a variety of scenes in this video which is packed with beautiful sceneries.😀👍👍

Looks like you are having an amazing time in Albania wonderful Christie!!! 💖

Hi. I want to ask if it is easy to use the public transport there frim tirana. Where do u catch the bus from to the termianl . And sid u go visit the beaches from Tirana

Great video. Funny you are going from Tirana to Toronto (which is pronounced Taronna!). Are you traveling anywhere else in Canada? Subscribed from east coast Canada.

Do you use the DJI pocket for your videos? I thought I saw the case. Was wondering if it's worth it for travel videos it seems perfect on paper.

Hey Christie love the channel! What camera do you use?

Hello. Just a little tip - when you see the letter 'J' written in Albanian - just replace it with an English 'Y'

Just wondering how easy it is to eat veggie in albania (and the balkans in general?) I stopped to read the right side of the traditional menu in the restaurant and everything had meat in it😬 I mean I'm sure you can always find veggie food but eating traditional food would be a lot more fun!

@aureliogj7966

Yeah in our country vegetarianism is a relatively new thing. I mean obviously veggie dishes have existed for millennia, but until recently looking for a version of Albanian cuisine dedicated to ppl who don’t eat meat would often lead to awkward conversation with a waiter and host with sometimes hilarious results. With the rapid increase of tourism in last few years there’s quite a handful restaurants in Tirana who cater to vegetarians but some of the owners and chefs do that halfheartedly so I would rather find a good restaurant which Albania has many and using google translate would go down the menu and find the veggie dishes sporadically sprinkled here and there. Hope this helps.

Having a Maccies in Albania doesnt signify any growth in the society (sorry I really had to comment that, great vlog and glad youu have a nice time!)

Actually if I could add something, because you have got a few things wrong!! McDonald's openned in Albania 16 years ago. But it didn't make it.. because Albania has so many fast food places Way better than McDonald's and cheaper.. this is why they pulled out

Albania are in total 20 million

I rather hope they reject all the big fast food chains. There is nothing those chains can teach the locals about quality food.

I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sure, because the 9 Millionen want to work and have a nice lifestyle, too. We all deserve it.❤ Maybe unemployment rate is too high in Albania so they have to go abroad.

Tirana Don Bosko

In pronunciation, I mean.

Well 9 million only in the Balkans . Worldwide 18 million .

"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV) Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV) By God's GRACE, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely.✝️

Dont know where you got your figures from but 1 million 400 thousand live and work abroad.2,877, 977 live in Albania. Nowhere near 9 million !!! If you include albanians in Kosovo Macedonia Montenegro and the Balkans who are nationals of those countries you could hit 5 million max

people go to Albania because nature is nice. we know there is not much architecture like in other european countries but if you’re into cities and architecture, for you would be ideal european cities

The worst city i ever bean police rentecar are corrupt food is discusting and the steets are dirty and very old buildings...the traffic is the badset i ever seen en there is not much to see

I think your information you are providing to your viewers is not correct about Albania!! Even about the food you couldn't be bothered to explain what it is! You just put it like Curry!! In Albania there isn't such thing! We don't have Curry. So you should show some respect to culture there.

Hey Johny ☺️ I am not an Albanian tour guide and do not claim to be. These are just my experiences in the country as a first-time tourist and my opinions and thoughts of things I come across. I recommend watching a factual documentary if that is the kind of content you’re after ❤️

Wow i didn't know that albania was so modernised 😮

As a serbian I'm legally obligated to say Kosovo is serbia on every video related to albania.
