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 ?

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.

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
@TheVeganAbroad

@@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.

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 😄
