    My favourite three exploring amigos! Absolutely loved this video and shocked I am the first to comment 🤯
    Absolutely love your drone shots and having a look at Albania, looks like Greece but with a lot less people there! Incredible!
    Looking forward to seeing what else you discover here, missing you both xxxx

    Such a great vlog, Albania reminds me a lot of turkey, mountains, ruins, beaches :) I have always wanted to visit the Balkans. Looking forward to seeing more.

      Thanks for watching! We've got Turkey on our visit list, but maybe next year! Albania is amazing, we'd definitely recommend it!
      Really packs in alot for such a small country!

    Wonderful, full of happiness and good vibes, we are in for the wild journeys. We have also just started new series of Albania, absolutely loved the country, and cannot wait to go back again (probably September- ish)

      Such a fantastic country isn't it! We loved it - everyone was so friendly, the nature was incredible and it was also pretty budget friendly too!

    Great video! We plan to travel there as well in our van in the next weeks. The fact that you hear more horror stories than is really true about the roads in Albania is good news for me. I've read that there are places where you shouldn't go into the sea because the Wastewater from toilets etc flow unfiltered into the sea. Do you know anything about that? I hope the water quality wasn't the reason for your dog to feel sick.

    • @TheseWildJourneys

      We loved Albania - and really don't think it deserves the bad rep that people seem to give it! Everyone was SO friendly. The landscapes & architecture were amazing. And yep - the roads were far better than people told us!
      As to the sewage question, this is the first we heard about it, so wouldn't be able to advise. Frank got sick in Portugal. He treated the sea as his dog bowl, but salt water is not good for dogs! ha! We swam in the sea and we were fine.
      One thing that you will probably see is that Albania, like some other Balkan countries, have a problem with litter. This didn't ruin our experience, but we did do a few clean-ups in spots we stayed in. We blame the lack of infrastructure, rather than individuals though!
      Hope you enjoy your trip!

    Hi! Amazing video, I’ve watched it a few times and getting excited to take my van to the balkans! I was just wondering what insurance you guys used? And how it all works with green cards etc? :)

    • @TheseWildJourneys
      @TheseWildJourneys  Рік тому

      Hey! Thanks! So, not sure what insurer you're with, but for Croatia & Montenegro, we were covered by our insurer and green card. We just needed to notify them of when we were traveling there. For Albania, we were not covered, but we picked up insurance at the border. We entered by ferry into Durres and did it at the port. Hope you have the best time!

    We're heading to Albania in our campervan later in the year. Thanks for your great videos. Do I need to buy insurance at the border? How does that work?

    • @TheseWildJourneys
      @TheseWildJourneys  9 місяців тому +1

      Hey! Check with your insurers first to see if Albania is included. Ours didn't include it, so we bought insurance at the border, if you're coming via land, go in via one of the main crossings and there should be a kiosk/office/stand type thing that you can pull in by and purchase 3rd party insurance from them. If you come in via boat, like we did, there was a kiosk just before you drive out of the port in Durres. Enjoy and hope that helps!

      @@TheseWildJourneys That's good to know, thanks. About how much does it cost - and do you think it'd actually pay out if you had an accident?!

    • @TheseWildJourneys
      @TheseWildJourneys  9 місяців тому

      Ha, who knows, I doubt how useful it'd be but it's illegal to drive around Albania without it. Just drive slow and cautiously 😂, Albanian driving is mostly mental in the outside/fast lanes. Let them overtake you! Ha!

    can you wild camp wherever you want in Albania? how liberal are they with wild camping? Is it safe?

    • @TheseWildJourneys
      @TheseWildJourneys  10 місяців тому +2

      Hey Alexis! Overall I think wild camping is allowed in Albania, but tbh, we didn't feel like we needed to, as the campsites were so cheap and the hosts were so kind and interesting that it added to our experience. However, I'm sure if you loaded up the Park4Night you'll see loads of good, free spots. We didn't feel unsafe 👌
