Living In Albania For A Month: What It's Actually Like!

Albania is a country few people consider travelling to, much less live in. I live in a new country every month and Albania was only number four on that list. Living in Albania showed me a culture much different to anything I've experienced so far. Albania has some of the friendliest people, the deepest history and feels far different than the rest of Europe.
In this travel vlog I dive into the things I enjoyed about living in Albania, the things I didn't like about the country and how it will affect my future travels. I talk about the cost of living in Albania, Albanian food, Albanian people and getting around this amazing country. Overall my review of Albania as a place to travel to or live in, is a positive one.
Every month I do a review style video like this one and always try to offer a unique and complete opinion on the country I'm living in. Albania was no different. It had positives and negatives. If you want to continue to see my raw opinion on every place I live then consider subscribing!

Hi. I am from Scandinavia. Been to many countries. Started travelling to Albania in 2016 and this is the first place that I started to miss when I wasn't there. I feel at home here even though it's very different. Made friends here and the country is so varied, interesting and beautiful.

I enjoyed your review. I’ve visited Albania 5 times now, staying both in AirBnBs and with Albanians. I had mostly very good food - the salads tasted like they came fresh from the garden, though you have to choose the restaurants carefully. The best food of course was the food we had at the houses of Albanian friends. Travel we found relatively easy - it is possible to find many bus routes online in Albanian. The roads are crazy though. Unlit bicycles on the motorway - once a car going the wrong way, so you really need your wits about you. Coming from Germany, we did have an issue with the rubbish - but it does seem to be improving slowly. As far as the friendliness of the people - they are amazing. When our car didn’t start - 3 people helped us and a cafe owner refused to accept payment for the coffee we drank while waiting. Even the hospital we had to visit when my son got ill was not bad at all. The doctor and nurse spoke perfect English, we only had to wait for 30 minutes and didn’t have to pay.

Albania is a country that is still developing, that is why they are still figuring out how to do transportation right. 33 years ago people could not even travel freely within the country. But they are improving fast. They currently are building bus terminals in the major cities and they soon will put all information and ticket booking on line. Europe is investing in the rail infrastructure as well, in order to connect the whole region to the rest of Europe.

Honestly I should have mentioned not driving 30 years ago. I knew about this and should’ve pointed it out. Honestly it’s awesome that the eu is investing in transportation, it’ll make a big difference for tourists and locals alike. Transport wasn’t even bad just hard to figure out as a tourist. Overall someone with some travel experience would have no issue getting out. Just have to ask 😃

We're just visiting this country as well and it's such a beautiful place and we totally agree with you how the people are wonderful! However unfortunately not one local told us that it's usually to strangers but when it comes to "revenge" they could hate & harm others in very bad way. Also what was soooo sad to us was the garbage and tons of abandoned building in the south of the country 😥 Glad we could see your opinion!

driving in Albania: try it, it's not too bad! They bob and weave, but speeds are pretty homogenous -- nobody driving 70 among 30ish traffic. And they don't honk their horns aggressively. However, nobody uses their signals, and folks will even stop their car right in front of you to have a chat with somebody on the side of the road they know. Anyway, I recently rented a car for 850km in Albania, and liked driving more than in Germany or, say, Sardinia.

I don't know, I can't share your loyalty toward the Albanian people. They seemed rude to me. Hospitality appears only when you bring cash (only cash, lol). I've seen many instances of locals being very rude to poor people, exhibiting harsh behavior toward pets, and displaying lots of plastic smiles (grimaces, I'd say). I personally encountered some establishments that didn't allow you to use their restrooms without paying them. And the most annoying thing is the absence of price tags at many places.

If I were you I would buy a home in Dajti area of Tirana , in Kavaia area of Durrazzo , and in the area near Shkodra or Vora area , with 50k-80k you can find a big big diapason , depend even by lucky to find a good and affordable home but for the moment albania is Greta

You being a good Canadian citizen , the best place on earth 🌎 for many people living or have travelled all Canada 🇨🇦 ,this is a great short review for a small country undergoing big changes like it is 🇦🇱 Albania. But I hope it doesn't change to much because it will be really boring for the people of Albania. Mixed up with more good and bad will be more exciting, because perfection is really boring after 1 week.

I think it has a ton of things to look forward to but it’ll be a long long time before it becomes even kind of bad for Albanians. It’s still so unknown for most North Americans and so change will likely be slow but hopefully it gets a little bit easier for people to live and work. 😃

They are the happiest friendliest most welcoming people on earth as reported by many ! -- Hawaii like weather and most beautiful white sand beaches with best scuba diving anywhere on earth.....

Doesn't sound like a good place to live, maybe for a quick vacation, but that's about it! Croatia sounds better for living. Not speaking enough English is fine if you want a challenge and are just visiting a place. However, if you are going to live in a place not speaking enough of your language, it would be a real problem. If food is sub par that would also be an issue if you were living in a place. What I've realized is every cheap place like albania is usually cheap for a reason and is only good for a cheap vacation spot
