Solo travel to ALBANIA! - What’s it really like in Tirana? 🇦🇱 [Ep. 1]

“Country of the Eagles,” otherwise known as Albania. Welcome to a new travel series from the country of Albania. If you don't know where Albania is located, it is basically located in the Balkans region, although there is no universal agreement as to what constitutes the Balkans.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveler and YouTube creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveler, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.

My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher—my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on YouTube, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.

Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on YouTube.

You have shown Tirana as I see it. I came here once. Then I came here again. And, now, yesterday, I filed for residency. It is simply the best place for an American retiree to locate.

I'm here right now, in Gjirokaster. 1st solo trip, longer than a weekend, at 61 yrs old, and loving it.
Get here before it becomes over touristy.

I spent 2 weeks in Albania in April and I can’t wait to go back. Favorite spot in Tirana is a laid back bar called Hemingways Jazz Club. Cool vibe and friendly bar cat. Fell in love with Korce (spent every night at Saiko cocktail vibing on the wonderful music), Gjirokaster (the hike to Ali Pasha bridge was amazing), Berat was indescribable and Durres was wonderful as well. Looking forward to more of your series!

Molto bella Tirana, io ci sono stato però c'è da dire che ci sono delle città ancora più belle di Tirana, insomma tutta l'Albania è molto bella ....
La forza di questo paese è la convivenza pacifica tra religioni e la loro ospitalità è super.
Gli albanesi sono bellissima gente.
Ciao from Torino 🇮🇹 Italia

I just learned about Tirana for the first time. If I ever get the chance, I'd like to live there.

Another perfectly made video. Surprising to hear locals speaking perfect English. People are so nice and relaxed. Will need try to visit some day.

In early 1993, not long after Enver Hoxha's reign, I spent 3 months in Tirana, teaching management courses at the university. A very interesting and adventurous time!
I was curious to see if I could recognise any of the familiar sights from that time, but the statue of Skenderbeg was the only thing that seemed unchanged.

Albania’s nature is amazing! It’s super affordable, good food and friendly locals.

Absolutely super beautiful and impressive video, Syifa, from your new Albania series. Tirana looks like a very beautiful and impressive city, with open places, with many green spaces, with a great view... Really beautiful. Thank you very much Syifa for this wonderful video, I can't wait for the next episode.

Una ciudad no muy conocida por muchos y con mucha propaganda en contra durante mucho tiempo por cuestiones políticas o ideológicas. Sin embargo se nota que es muy agradable, cuidada, con mucho verde, diversas atracciones, relajada, etc. Un buen destino para visitar. Saludos desde Santa Fe, Argentina.

In the 60s when I was in the area the border to Albania was closed to everyone, so you are one up on me.
