I like everything you inform, it's all true to reality in Albania, been there 1 or 2 times at least every year since 2007, thanks for the good information, good luck with everything

[BucketListTravellers]

Thanks for the helpful info! We're planning to go to Sandra as it's on the way to Greece, but that minivan trip looks like it's going to be a wild ride!

Nice video. it happened to me with a taxi from saranda to tirana and somewhere on the way after a few kilometers I told him we'll stop at the first coffee place or restorant then I asked how much I owe you I don't want to continue the journey etc and got rid of him

I've finally caught up with all your YouTube videos and now I'm up to date! Amazing! You make me feel like it would actually be possible to do what you do (audible gasp). I've often thought of teaching English online (I have a degree in English, not teaching it though). I imagine you need a Tesol cert for the kind of teaching you do? Also, I follow some threads on Reddit for teaching online and reviews are mixed for companies to use - do you contract through a company or free style?? Thanks for all the hard work you put into this videos - just wonderful. ☮️

This is what I wrote recently on TripAdvisor: Mixed feeling and experience. The sea: amazing though very salty. The area, the city, the infrastructure: terrible. The city has developed at such a speed that they have forgotten or simply ignored the fact that a beach town also needs decent roads, streets, sidewalks, parking, you name it. Very steep roads and streets, highly overpriced, terrible non-stop music; trash everywhere. We came here because of what we read in decent outlets (praising the views, etc.), but what they failed to mention is that it is poorly built, maintained and organized. We very much doubt that the city's mayor care much about it: the only thing that matters is money and there is plenty of it flowing. I saw how some British young tourists paid ridiculous amount of money in euros and were paid back in Lek (Albanian currency) without even checking them. Even the beach facilities were very poor: no shower and very dirty beds. Overall one of the worst experiences.

I _cannot_ believe you taught a class in that van. What a nightmare! It looks pretty but probably not worth it to go all that way for a weekend.

Delvina is also a great place very close to Saranda

You look exhausted bro! Get some sleep and take care of yourself!
