  • Have you ever wondered how far you can stretch your money while traveling? In this video, we try the challenge of surviving on just $10 for an entire day in the coastal city of Durrës, Albania.
    My goal for this video was to get breakfast, lunch, dinner AND entertainment in between for only $10 dollars. (1000 Lek) This is a challenge I've always wanted to try but I've never had the chance. In Albania however, it's more than possible! I stuck to cheaper street food and free activities to make this possible. We hit some snags in the road but also got some bonuses in as well!
    Join me on this crazy challenge of surviving a day in Durrës, Albania, on just $10. Whether you're a budget traveler or just someone who is up for a challenge this video will satisfy your travel cravings! If you want to see more travel vlogs like this consider subscribing!

      It was painful… but still sorta good. The Albania people really are awesome, I haven’t said much about them yet but after that interaction I needed to. Thanks for the like, glad my pain was worth it haha 😂

    If a Canadian is saying we’re caring, that means a lot.

      It’s rare to find people that can compare to Canadian kindness but Albanians really do, it was hard to see at first because of the language barrier but after a bit it was clear how important taking care of each other really is!

    I understand your challenge if you can survive with that amount of money but are you going as tourist there or on surviving show are you there to teach how to be the cheapest tourist on Albania ,
    I leave in Toronto and you know how much you pay on Restaurants here
    Enjoy your stay there but be little bit more spender to enjoy it more

      It was really just to show how cheap everything in Albania is and how affordable it is as a tourist. I definitely spent my fair share, what I would spend on a budget meal at a restaurant in Toronto got me one of the best meals of my life in Albania. I had a great time there don’t worry! 😁

      That was my first thought, I’m staying here for 650 CAD steps from the water and I thought it was too much of a bargain! I just hope the locals don’t get screwed when prices go up!

    Did you get the burger 🍔 from the restaurant under the hotel 🏨 on the beach,is called Venera , hotel and restaurant.
    First burger I had there with chips 🍟 salad cheese, was perfect,
    But second time, different because the girl who is the waiter cooked it,
    And missing all salad 🥗 😩 no cheese and just 8 little chips on plate for same price, 2.5 usd.
