1 Year Living in ALBANIA | This is why you should travel to Albania!

- čas přidán 12. 08. 2024
- After one year living in Albania, I discuss some of the highlights of my time here! Also, I provide three reasons to encourage you to consider traveling to Albania. The three reasons are summarized here:
1) Places: Albania has some of the most incredible historical sites, since the country has such a unique history. Also, Albania has amazing beaches along the Albanian Riviera, and stunning mountains (such as the Albanian Alps).
2) Food: Albanian cuisine is full of traditional dishes such as byrek, tave kosi, ferges, and trilece. Additionally, many of the ingredients here are fresh - especially within the villages!
3) People & Culture: Albanian culture holds a high importance for hospitality, and generally speaking, foreigners are respected and treated very well here. Also, many Albanians are very proud of their culture and traditions.

![Village life in rural ALBANIA - traditional country life vlog in the Balkans 🇦🇱 [Ep. 2]](/img/n.gif)
I've been in Albania for one month, and I have two months left to go. I'm loving it so far!
Hi there, I see you're a vegan, and so I was hoping you could tell me about what it's been like eating strictly vegan there. I actually am whole food plant based, so even more strict than vegan, but my husband and I really want to travel to Albania, as long as I can get the spinach I need daily. Would you please let me know your thoughts on this - thank you!
Nancy
@@NancyLouHoo It is definitely possible to eat strictly vegan in Tirana, but it is very difficult in other cities. Many Albanians outside of Tirana don't really understand the idea of not eating meat, let alone dairy and eggs. Personally, I would not recommend Albania if you are very strict about a vegan diet and not willing to eat vegetarian food. It may be possible if you are cooking all of your own food, but eating mostly at restaurants can be tricky if you are 100% vegan. You can buy spinach here, so I'm guessing maybe you want to cook your own meals anyway.
@Tom Bland What? Albania doesn't have a high cost of living
@Tom Bland I guess I have to give myself a pat on the back then for doing the impossible.
@Tom Bland Lol I'm not a millionaire, and I doubt the vast majority of the other 400,000 people that live in Tirana are either.
Great video Ben! I am a retired Architect who trained an Albanian student. He took me back to his homeland on a tour and I can say I was blown away
Let us hope that tourism doesnt destroy the innate beauty of this , so far, undiscovered part of the Balkans. A new airport is under construction in the south and a port underway near Durres. ( remember Dubrovnik and Venice before the cruise ships ?
Spread love and positivity and life becomes better.
I love Albania, as my husband is Albanian as well! Going there every year!❤️ My second home 🏡
How do you afford it?
@@billsteen4272 incredibly cheap in ALB
It’s so beautiful to see you loving our country and choose to be there because lots of countries they point out only things that miss to our country ... so seeing you loving it it makes me be even more grateful being from Albanian 🇦🇱
Hi i am thinking of coming to your country how can u be of help
I really miss Albania. The people are incredibly hospitable and welcoming. I did a month cycle tour around the Balkans and Albania was definitely a highlight. Kosovo was fascinating and Montenegro was stunning, but Albania just had so much heart. And the food was perfect for cycle touring.
Thank you for your compliments of Albania. As a young couple ,my parents immigrated to the USA since 1965. I may be American born and raised,but my ❤ is Albanian.
How the fuck did they cross the border
As a north Macedonian🇲🇰 of an Albanian origin I would have lived everywhere else in the world except so called amurika
Great Video dude 🙏🏼💯💯
I can't believe somebody from US saying such good things for our lovely Albania😍Keep it up, love your blog!
Thank you!! 🙏
Y wouldn't they say that? As a life to live, SHQI-PERIA ALBANIA 🇦🇱 is better. Not just better, but generations better. Usa 🇺🇸 has nothing in comparison with HISTORY AND LIFE.
y boo? lol, Albania is heaven
Great video I had the same experience I felt very safe safer than Chicago where I live for sure, that tells me how fake the movie industry is, I loved the food,beautiful beaches, people are very nice loved it
Hi there, Ben ... saw this video only today, it's really well put-together and interesting ... and your positive, non-judgmental approach is great ... thanks a lot ... hopefully, I'll get to Albania soon ... am really excited to see the country ... glad that you are happy there ... be safe and well.
Just returning from 5 days here. Almost did not convist my family because of Européen clichés on "Mafia people of Albania".
As a result the coolness of Albania took us by surprise. Wonderfully country.,,,💝
I teach elementary school. My students are studying Albania. I have to tell them to check out your video. Job well done.
Beautiful video. May you have continued success.

I love Albania and Albanians Usman
Thank you for sharing your experience with us I was born in Lovina small village near Gjirokastra left at 17th to United States and now at my old age and being retired I want to go back and live there near Saranda
thank's bro, u r wellcome in albania
LOVE Albania!!! Miss it every day, hope to come back there soon.
I'm coming to Albania next month. I'm also working on getting my international teaching certificate because the schools/government are paying people to teach English in their schools and I want to see this beautiful country. I've done a lot of research and I'm so excited I can hardly wait. Also, if that "project" you're working on involves that beautiful young lady that's following you around, I say BRAVO DUDE!! Baltic women are so drop dead gorgeous it's unreal, and it's also said that they look so beautiful, they don't even need make-up, unlike the women here in the US. Good luck, and may God bless you.
@Bill Smegma So everyone on every video I've seen, showing people to be nice and friendly, are all lying. Ok, Mr. Smegma.
@The Best of J. Fraley- Albanian woman are just as beautiful if not better 😊
Lovely video Ben. Many thanks. I’m planning to visit Albania soon perhaps with the intention of buying a home and moving from the UK. I’ll now check out your other content. Cheers!
Youre welcome and hope you have a ready idea of what you are searching for 😊. Im from south . My city is vlora. If you come at my city just text and i can give a help or an advice
Thanks for informing I am also from New England USA soon I will visit there ❤
This video made me cry. Love my country and colture
Hey Ben, have you ever done a Northern Albania roadtrip? We are planning one for next week and would love your insight. Thanks great video :)
Hey! Yeah the north is beautiful! I’m actually doing another north trip starting tomorrow. I’d recommend this route: Tirana to Komani Lake Ferry, Valbona, hike to Theth, Shkodra, Mrizi i Zanave (Lezhë), Kruja, back to Tirana. Though I’ll send you a DM on Instagram, because the hike is quite dangerous right now because of the snow, and driving can be difficult to sort out if you take the ferry 😄
PleAse visit most visited Catholic church of San Antonio in Kurbin region or Patok -Kune Vaini lagoon is really really amazing
Amazing
Seeing your video, I get an inspiration to visit Albania..🇦🇱🎈🎈🙏🏾
I was in Albania last year. I saw Tirana, Saranda and Ksamil.
My experience was very good. The cities are very beautiful, I liked the food and the people. 🤗
Thank you my guy for being honest and truthful for my people.
Nice video. I think that honestly I can say that the enjoyment of travel is enhanced by your traveling companion. It looks like you have that covered. Enjoy yourself
You have disproved one of the biggest stereotypes. This thing pleased me. You are great in 6:34 😘
Love Albania. Greetings from Ireland
Great video Ben, thank you very much
The nation appreciates you sir!
I'm starting to understand the underlying message here. The woman are beautiful and friendly. Can't wait to visit.
Albania is probably safer than most major US cities ...everything you describe fits with what I know

Wow it looks a beautiful place to go I'm from new Zealand And would love to leave my country an come there 😎
Can you please make a video on Real Estate with RA from Albania! Thank you! 🙏🏻🎉
Google says Albania translated means "Sons of Eagles" and is the mother of Latin and Greek languages. I'd imagine their cultural values are of utmost importance, so let's hope that doesn't erode with the onslaught of tourism.
You should visit kosova dude🇦🇱 kosova is basically albania and they also speak albanian and thats where I live every year I move to albania and I live in kosova to visit my country
Informative
Great video you need to become an Albanian citizen, God bless
Love your videos
Love you bro ❤
Bro, what are the gyms like in Tirana and elsewhere in Albania?
Can I ask if october is warm enough for swimming? Like second/third week of Oct?
Super video.
Well done man ;)
my friend, i think Albania is not that small country. have a lot places to explore it and both with Kosovo Albania is a huge country .
how is the feeling around Tirana / the country with covid? I have flights to visit in about 3 weeks and I'm just trying to be informed before I go
