Beyond the tourist trail, Gjirokastër's true magic lies in its labyrinthine streets. Wandering through alleyways adorned with blooming flowers, stumbling upon hidden cafes, and encountering friendly locals creates an atmosphere of discovery and wonder. Getting lost in this maze becomes a delightful adventure in itself. It's a city where history whispers from its walls, art bursts from unexpected corners, and vibrant life unfolds at every turn. It's a place that captures the imagination, invites exploration, and offers a glimpse into a world unlike any other. It’s the second day of our 6-day road trip across Albania. Let’s see what we can discover in Gjirokastër!

We met in New York City in 2014, we got married in 2015 and fell for the usual traps of getting into tons of debt from school. After years of hard work we paid off $150k worth of debt, but then the pandemic hit.
We decided that we’d have enough of the “American dream” and wanted to live a new dream so we became digital nomads.
We sold everything that we owned, packed our life into a few bags and bought a one way ticket out of the US to Mexico. After almost four years of living abroad, in Mexico, Panama and all over Europe, we finally launched our youtube channel to bring you on this journey with us as the real adventure is just getting started!
We are super excited to be able to take you on this journey with us and thank you so much for watching and supporting us! This is truly what we love to do, you are making our dreams come true and we want to inspire as many people to live their dream lives as possible. 😊
