Hi there! We are in love with your videos! We are Albanians🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱 and been in the US for 25 years, professional musicians worked at OPERA In the center of Tirana! love the way you speak the truth and nothing more! Albania is the most beautiful country in the world! Hospitality and the help you get from people that you don’t even know it is unreal! That’s how Albanians are, all have golden heart! I dont want to talk about the food that is incredibly incredibly delicious! thank you so much Naomi for mentioning that mother Teresa is Albanian, people think she is an Indian. As Albanians we are so proud of our country and the flag 🇦🇱🇦🇱 that flies freely! Wishing the love we have for our country and patriotism that we have as Albanians, to see it in US and in all other countries around the world! To be honest we are jealous that we’re away and you’re there😃 enjoy every second of your time there!!! Thank you again for the beautiful videos can’t wait to watch the next one!

I’ve been searching for several hours already and I can’t find a way to get from Tirana airport to Ksamil other than a taxi for 300€. I feel hopeless. We are arriving at 16:30. Maybe you can help?

[@illyrian2524]

@@iraoreshnikova2084 sure with pleasure, you can take a taxi or buss from international airport "Mother Teresa " to tirana 15-20 minutes drive, after you can catch a buss or van or minivan from Tirana to Saranda wich cost not more than 10 euros, after you can find for sure van from Saranda to Ksamil. So all the trip from Airport to Ksamil maximum cost 30 euros per person.

[@scottybones4368]

I was blown away by how long people can make an espresso last in Albania. As an American I'm prone to drinking Americanos or "house coffee." But in Albania I learned to make a shot of espresso last 30 minutes or more! I lived in Spain for years so I'm no stranger to espresso culture but Albanians keep it much more simple generally. Maybe the Ottoman influence of Turkish coffee culture? Also, is Luke perhaps a fan of American football?

First up you mention Cash as King. Do the stores accept Euros? Or must I use ATM for local cash?

[@TwoMadExplorers]

You can pay with euro in a lot of stores but it’s better to pay with LEK as they will give you a worse rate when paying with €.

[@bradyjohnson7705]

Euros should disappear they ruined everything

Das mit dem Bus war wirklich eine aussergewöhnliche Erfahrung: Die halten mitten auf der Strasse, und nirgendwo ein Schild wann der Bus kommt oder wohin er geht :) Ich hab die Auskunft vom Hotel bekommen und der gute Herr ist fast an mir verzweifelt, weil ich immer wieder gesagt habe, dass ich keine haltestelle finde, wo er hinzeigt 😂 Ps: ist natürlich nicht überall so und vielleicht wars die ausnahme. Übrigens bin ich gerade von Sarandë nach Ksamil gefahren mit dem Bus, die fahren mehrmals täglich. Es ist ende mai und er war jetzt schon knallvoll, die meisten mussten stehen. Ich will nicht wissen, was zur hauptsaison hier los ist 😂

[@TwoMadExplorers]

Hey!! In Albania 🇦🇱 it is very relaxed and we can pretty much guarantee that you won’t experience any racism there. Montenegro to be honest is not as relaxed as Albania. We experienced some nasty people just because they thought that we were Americans… Thanks for watching!

I am from Albania and here is all relaxed, specially with foreigners. No matter where u come from, u would be more than welcome. In our ancient traditions, the guest comes first. Then, someone who comes from the land of Bob Marley, truly would be so amazing. Do not wait and come here !

Not trying to be rude, but why would you say don’t travel to this country in your thumbnail/picture of the video. You said they are some of the friendliest people and that is was an amazing country.

Because the thumbnail does not say "do not visit".. it says "Do not visit, before you know these things" and the video is to promote the country. It is created to make people click and then watch the video. Thats all!

The fact that you have hundreds of hours of Albanian videos should be telling you that it might be time to do some editing. What would you rather do?
