After the fall of communism, Albania began to open up to tourists and despite initial difficulties it is now an up and coming backpacking destination in Europe. Its relatively low cost and warm hospitality of its people has attracted a wave of budget travelers. Welcome to Albania, and specifically the Albanian Alps.

zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed měsícem
Albania is an up and coming backpacking destination, which means there's huge potential for some off the beaten track fun. However with that comes a lack of tourist infrastructure and more traps than other parts of Europe. In this video I share the things I wish I knew before I went to the country!
is this the end of the concessionary football ticket?
zhlédnutí 9KPřed měsícem
For decades the concessionary season ticket has got fans into football, but it’s now under threat. For some dads, a first season ticket for their son has jumped from £80 to over £600. I travelled up and down the country speaking to fans who feel they are being priced out of the beautiful game.

    You are talking complete nonsense man. Albania is a such beautiful country with very warm and friendly people. The food is unique and very safe. I don't know why you say these things, you don't have much personal experience and in just a few days there is no way to find out what is good or not. Apparently, you see things in a way that many people will not like, and they are unlikely to subcrible you. 🤔😏
