Lovely Albania. Greetings from India .
Bukur, por sherbimi le shume per te deshiruar. Ambjentet ne plazhet e rivieres kane shume pluhur, miza dhe plehra, ndersa pronaret e lokaleve bejne sikur nuk i shohin; po ashtu sikur nuk i shohin bejne edhe shqiptaret e Shqiperise; ndoshta sepse jane mesuar me pluhur e miza perdite; por te huajve keto gjera u bien ne sy menjehere. Nuk po flas per hotelin, dushi me ujin pa presion, te dukej sikur je ne nje dhome torture, ku uji i ftohte behej i nexhte e pastaj perseri i ftohte ne varesi se sa njerez hapnin dushet ne te njejten kohe ne hotel. Sidoqofte kur e krahason me pak vite me pare kur uji dhe dritat iknin, tani te pakten kishte uji (pothuaj kishte), ndersa dritat iken vetem nje nate ne Jale.
Well done you! Really pleased to watch this video. I visited Albania in April 2024 and fall in love with this country. Bought ticket to Tirana again,will fly in October ,can't wait!🎉
It is not easy to travel by plane to Albania from where I am.
What is the restaurant actually called. It would be super helpful if in future you got an outside shot if the restaurant showing the name!
Amazing country. It’s come a long way. It was once known as the North Korea of Europe. Can’t wait to get there.
Am coming to meet you bro soon my name is salim from Nigeria
Did you make linear progress easily?
Ben how did you find your rental apartment? Did you sign a longer lease? Or shorter ones and stayed in airbnbs and hotels?
Hi,am planning to move to Albanian with my family and work there,,,,,but people are discourage us,a friend my said that have language barriea that if you don't understand or speak ab Albanian it had to get a job,,,,, please advise me,since you have live there for long
Is it a Muslim country though? I'm scared of the intolerance in Islamic countries..
I live in uae which is Muslim country but I see many people from west like UK, US Canada etc moving here with families here because they feel safer here.
@@AnasChemmala Is it safe for Jewish people? And gays? Do women have rights where they can work drive and wear what they please?
@@joanstone6740 haha it’s funny how brainwashed are you guys. There are gay people, women are safer and enjoy their life to fullest here wearing from bikini to anything than any other country, please check videos on UA-cam of Dubai if you have never been here, check Five Palm Jumeirah hotel, Jbr beach, la mer beach, mall of emirates shopping mall, yas island, Ferrari world etc etc
SHiroka Vendlinja ime e bukur Te dua shume Je Oksigjeni IM Te ka stolise ZOTI❤
I'm starting to understand the underlying message here. The woman are beautiful and friendly. Can't wait to visit.
What wonderful parents you have Ben! You are so lucky! One can tell they are amazing people. We are lucky to have you here, you have been such an amazing ambassador to our country! Greetings to your mom and dad, and i hope they will visit us again! Much LOVE!
(Helping the algorithm) Don't forget those drop sets! It feels like you can fly over those bars 😂😂
Ben i see you started your channel 2019. Random question by chance did you file a 1099 or formSE for taxes back in 2020 and or 2021 and receive your SETC. or know anyone that was self employed?
Google says Albania translated means "Sons of Eagles" and is the mother of Latin and Greek languages. I'd imagine their cultural values are of utmost importance, so let's hope that doesn't erode with the onslaught of tourism.
Thank you 👍 🙃
I hope they will never join EU it's better not all EU countries are very expensive to live in . There is only a few cheap countries left like Albania together with Kosovo and Bosnia.
bro, I'm doing 3 sets of 7 reps(last session) with 33LBS/15kg. Do you think I make it 1 set of 5 reps with 88LBS/40kg by December this year??
Does anyone know where this exact location is? I’m planning on proposing to my gf in a few months in Florence and this looks perfect
Thank you for sharing your experience with us I was born in Lovina small village near Gjirokastra left at 17th to United States and now at my old age and being retired I want to go back and live there near Saranda
Grazie per il bell video.
Is there any way we could know where and how you reserved your speed boat trip on the shores of Dhermi? My girlfriend and I will be visiting Albania in May and would very much enjoy to do the same!
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 ?
Sa bukur ju ruajt zoti ❤❤
Hi can you recommend a car rental place that allows cross borders including Albania, and Montenegro, North Macedonia, Greece Bulgaria.
How to move there

Hi we are planning to visit Albania in mid November Quick questions Is it better for us to drive around by ourselves like from Tirana to theth and spend money in better hotels up there or just go with guide me groups which is expensive Like is it safe for us to drive up theth and go around there ?
Man !! Imagine all the blowing up I could do when I voodoo and add some love potion to my science projects...😊
