such a nice conversion!! We’re so excited to see it hopefully soon in real life!! 🌞✨
Thankyou guys! 🙏 definitely, I can’t wait!
I could give it a try this summer
Do it!
I must say it is so refreshing to see a video by someone from UK who just goes along with the flow, makes much of meeting the president, enjoys the ambience. In other words a normal conteporary person, who doesn't obsess over Estonia's soviet legacy (this is the closest I will ever get to Russia!). I hope you had the time of your life here. You certainly deserve it.
Thankyou! I love Estonia! One of my favourite countries! Haha yeah I got told that meeting the president wasn’t that big of a deal, but it was for me 😂 Estonia is such an amazing country and I can’t wait to go back!
@@CiaranTravels very sweet of you to say such kind things about Estonia. Mr. Karis is indeed very accessible, although I dont know him personally. I do, however, know his wife Mrs. Sirje Karis quite well, as she used to be my boss.
Great video mate! I’ll put Halstatt on my list of place to go! 😎🤙
Good man!
Great video Ciaran 🤗 and you did not pronounce my name too wrong haha, almost correct 😄
Damn it! I’m sorry 😂 Thankyou for taking us to Hallstatt!!
Would you go visit Hallstatt?!
cool that looks comfy its not a king size bed is it ? like you are the king of the van after all , good job i'm sure you'll have lots of long drives in the yellow submarine .
It’s just shy of a double bed!
hey why would you give up doing the van ? I got a name for it now Yellow Submarine its great you found where the water was getting in and the sun shade and the big light looks good with the new wheels . It's a deadly looking van you doing a great job, deadly means greatish lol btw...
Hey :) aha it’s been very testing.. oh it’s got a name and has done for like a year now 😂 thanks!!
@@CiaranTravels ok
They make a huge difference and make driving at night much safer.
Definitely!!
As a Dane, I have to inform you, that since you have so much Swedish genes, you are now fair game for Norwegian and Danish teasing. Just ask your cousins, they will confirm. 😉
This is definitely on my list. Beautiful scenery 👌🏾 😍
Let’s go there!
@@CiaranTravels I can't fly though 🤣
Smoooooth operator 😎
😎
You got this buddy...... I'm so proud of you 🫂❤
Thankyou!
Not sure if it’s integrated into the wiring, but might work on integrating a fuse and switch relay. This will prevent damage to the light, and also overheating the switch (causing a fire). Relays are fundamental elements of automotive electrical systems, so it would be useful to understand them.
Don’t worry dude! There is a relay switch and a fuse incorporated into the wiring harness!
hi great looking sun visor and the light is really handy looks the part . Safe travelling .
I’ve been lacking on the filming front on the van but update coming soon👀
@@CiaranTravels well you do have work to do and earn a few quid, bills have to be paid. so understandable u don't get time,
Loved Salzberg. If you like your mountains definitely recommend Ljubljana/Lake Bled in Slovenia
Beautiful place! Haha yeah I’ve already been there!
Looks great, have to come to visit 👌🏽📸
Do it bro!
Sick, looks like a great adventure 🔥🔅
My guy!
Would you visit Salzburg?! If you did enjoy this, don’t forget to give us a like rating and a subscribe!
i still dont buy that albania is safe
And why is that? Have you been?
There is still jumping over bonfires but not those public ones and i think it is getting less year by year. Actually what you did not see but is going on in Estonia are the Family bonfires where close relatives come together and have the best own cooked food and drinks and a lot of bonding and talking to your relatives that you have not seen for a long time. For example my family came together each year and we had my grandmom and her sister and all their children and their children + some more relatives etc. And these fires are smaller but still burning until the early morning. Sadly as the older generation dies the traditions also die often. Miss my family Jaanituli.
Haha yes I know! I did experience that with family bonfires don’t you worry! That sounds lovely! Yes it’s a shame that traditions aren’t carried on through generations
As usual, another fantastic and breath-taking adventure! I liked the adrenaline. Happy to see you again, CJ! :))
Thankyou so much! I appreciate it!
Just seen this Video after watching the other part you do get around lucky for us you bring your cameras with you and share, when you were sliding down and i seen a person walking up I went oh no he's going to knock that person over, Lucky for them you didnt lol. Still no bears maybe thats was just as well, Any way cheer's Ciaran always nice to see your travels and hope your van is coming along ok .. 🐻☘
Hey bob! Thankyou for supporting! Haha yeah I thought at the time I couldn’t stop!! Van is coming along fine! (Update video soon! As I haven’t really recorded as I’ve just wanted to get it done!)
@@CiaranTravels I been supprting for ages buddy aka taffy
hi great video Ciaran such nice views what are the little hut's on the mountain for ? I never knew there are bears ib Poland would be nice to see one from a distance the gorges look amazing did water make them flown down the mountain, I think you done well for the short time you had there be nice to go for a longer trip, snow must mean there is ski places around, anyway cheers really nice place , where is next lol we'll wait and see I suppose , ☘
I guess they’re just mountain huts! I know on longer / higher mountains they’re used for emergencies / over night refuge on long trails! And yeah there’s all sorts! Bears, wolves, lynx! Yes I will be back in tatras for longer at some point!! And yes there’s loads of ski places! Haha I currently write this as I’m in another country 😉
Outstanding presentation man! Your content deserves more recognition!
Thankyou so much! I appreciate your kind words and for supporting the journey!

Albania is most beautiful costal country in entiire region ... People are very friendly and civilised
I agree, people are very friendly!
The perception comes from paid lobbyists of Greeks and Serbs to enhance the perception of the 1% of Albanians that do bad things and create the the negative image… but it working in our favour in the long term
It’s actually a big British perception which is where I was coming from! I personally think Albanians are some of the loveliest people I’ve met!
Such a great solo hike and palce to explore. Enjoyed watching your video friend! Outstanding cinematography 👏👏
It was absolutely stunning! Thankyou so much! 🙏
I hope you enjoyed this different type of travel vlog! If you did, be sure to like and SUBSCRIBE!!
Saying no one visits Albania is unbeliavle if you are an Albanian you can see that there is full full of tourists. We Allbanians can see just from someone face if he is from Albania or another country and no its not safe let your kid go to the artificial lake at 9pm say your prayers
Ok, well if you read my comments and actually listen to what I say in the video, it’s from a BRITISH perspective. This video is based on Brits, who DONT visit Albania. Don’t see it as a negative thing, I’m merely encouraging fellow Brits to visit.
@@CiaranTravels I didnt have it in that way I just wanted to say it is full of tourist a d we all Albanians hate it because the price hotels goes skyrocket if you ask any Albanian in the road he is gonna say the exact same thing that I sad. Im going tk gibe you an example last year on Borsh a really beautiful city with the most beautiful sea in Albania behind Dhermi. The hotel prices there last year were 60 lek a day now are 110 lek per day. I actually dont mind if there are even 16 million tourists here which I read on a page was gonna be the number this year I just dont want prices going skyrocket
Yay I'm so glad you were finally lucky with a cable car ride 🤗
Thankyou!
I will be the biggest mosque in the Western Balkans. It can't be the biggest mosque in the Balkans because Istanbul is also in the Balkans and as we all know there is the Blue Mosque there and a whole other huge mosques there.
Considering Istanbul is in the middle of the Bosporus strait, I don’t think it’s part of the Balkans.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Albania 🇦🇱 and hopefully you will come back summer holidays. It's beautiful
It was amazing! And I’ll definitely come back! Especially for a bit of a road trip!
@CiaranTravels That's good mate 👍. May to October is warm and beautiful
@@albania8982 Thankyou for watching! And yes a few people in Albania said!!
His mate. Albania 🇦🇱 its not dangerous at all unless you want to look for trouble otherwise no one will disturb you...we just have a bad reputation here in UK but trust me it's not dangerous. Especially British people are very welcome in Albania 🇦🇱 coz we have been treated very well in Britain 🇬🇧 👏
Hey bud! Yes agreed! My experience was nothing but incredible! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! It’s true, there is a bad reputation in the UK, which is part of the reason as to why I went but experienced nothing but amazing vibes!
it is safe becasue all of our criminals have left to make money abroad. or they are in jail or dead
Good to know 😅
@ciaranTravels it is not good to know, this is precisely the UK brainwashing going on from the right wing media. Albanians are not more criminals than the British are.

Just had an Autoterm heater fitted to my Fiat Ducato motorhome by the Autoterm fitter near Bideford in Devon, he's done a very neat job and I'm very pleased with the result, and the feed is from the vehicles main fuel tank, all working very well.
That’s awesome! I’ve had mine running a few times! Throws out some heat eh?
I also upgraded to the new controller.
@@philmay113 I did too! So much better!!
What are you Talking about. Albania Last Year Had More than 16 Million Tourists.
As said in the comments twice (if you looked) it’s from a British perspective. Brits don’t tend to goto Albania.
Turn the blind around so the material is closer to the glass. Better privacy and looks better
It’s a little late for that unfortunately 😅
What do you mean with "why does no one visits Albania" while it had 10M tourists the last year😂 Man come in the summer it is a boom, really
As I stated in a previous comment, this is based off of uk perception, yeah I’m sure alot of Europeans visit Albania especially in the summer but British people tend to go elsewhere :)
@@CiaranTravelsactually, Brits are going too, obviously not to the level of Spain/Greece. And you know why, because British media had a relentless negative campaign against Albanian people at no fault of their own, you are the Nazi to the jews, you found a scapegoat (Albanians) to your problems.
@@CiaranTravels ok bro as I am Albanian from my prospective and many others people I guess, the title of this video sound negative and incorrect!
@@orges_x8652 If you actually watched and listened, from a British perspective. Barely anyone in Britain tends to goto Albania. Don’t see it as a negative thing, I think more Brits should be open minded and should visit countries such as Albania.
@@CiaranTravelsBro trust me Albania is more Safe and more beautiful than England even tho is poor and small compare to England.British people are a little bit skeptik brcause Albania is not an EU member and are afraid coming for visit and invest but One day they'll change the mind for sure. Respect ✌️
10 million tourists visited Albania last year. In terms of visitors per capita, Albania (3M ppl) is already a European Powerhouse. So I don't get your thumbnail.
If you watched, I stated that in the uk there’s a whole perception, so it’s based around British people not visiting Albania, yeah ofcourse tourists visit Albania but British people as a generalisation don’t.
The only safe place they have in Albania is Theth. The rest of the cities that Albania has? No.
That may be down to your own experiences. I felt perfectly safe in Tirana
Do you plan on visiting Serbia?
I most definitely do! Maybe in the near future!👀
I visited Albania back in 2018 with two friends. Basically a roll of a dice brought us there. We ended up renting a car and just drove through the country the entire week. We had no idea of the countrys reputation at the time and it felt to us quite safe. We spent 24 in Tirana but I have to say the trip around the country was amazing. Albanias recent history has resulted in some crazy things like abandoned luxury buildings. Empty suburban areas where it looks like a zombie apocalypse. Overgrown luxury buildings. I had never seen anything like it. In Vlora they were investing heavily in tourism but it was like no people there. Absolutely insane to walk along a beach road that looked like Santa Monica but completely void of people. At one time we stopped at a big beautiful beach in the middle of the day. Sun was out and we were completely by ourselves except one family of three like 200 meters away. Also the prices are incredible. We went nuts and hired a limo an entire night in Tirana for like 200 euro and the hotel had it driven in from Macedonia or Kosovo just for us. Absolutely bizarre.
Dude that sounds like one hell of an adventure! I’d love to see more of Albania! Will definitely road trip when my camper is up and running! I love derelict places! The limo adventure sounds wild!!
Yeah but 6 years ago, every couple of years Albania is changing, savor those in your memory, those beaches like Sant Monica are filled with tourists now, even in the summer.
Love it great vibe
Thankyou dude
😍😍😍
No one from the UK maybe, but Albania is quite popular with the rest of Europe. We know Brits are brainwashed by the media and quite discriminating, so the blame goes to them, not to Albania.
Never said the blame was Albania dude, I agree with you that the media plays a big part in things, I went there as a Brit to explore for myself, as stated it wasn’t the main reason I went to Albania
@CiaranTravels ,.Well it might not be developed,.but you don't get robbed mobile phone or a watch as it does happen in London. Who's winning of the bed perception in the end ? No one 🍻
@@CiaranTravelsI didn’t say you said that , but I am answering your title directly. We are glad you enjoyed our country, and regardless of how your countrymen treat my countrymen in the UK, you are welcome.
Nice video, well done, perhaps you could have enjoyed more early summer time
Thankyou! Yes alot of people said to head there for the summer!
@CiaranTravels I guess summer time is more vibrant, especially if you go to South, you will enjoy turquoise waters of two seas ,Adriatic and ionian, also north sea side is beautiful too, and not to forget the Alps ,.if you fancy hiking.
@@eaglesland8093 amazing! I’ll definitely be back in Albania! Probably when I road trip Europe!
@CiaranTravels Ah ,.that you will enjoy, are you convertin your van or something? I used to drive down there twice a year ,summer and Christmas, love that trip
yeah I am! there's loads of videos on my page! oh really? that's amazing!@@eaglesland8093
hi nice to see what it looks like there, It says your in Budapest that's Hungary is it, Albania is waiting to enter the EU, looks well there, was strange to bump into people you know, small world really. Thanks for sharing and take care the van look's good btw.. cheer's 🍻🍺
