ALBANIA HIDDEN GEMS: A Van Life Adventure Beyond The Tourist Trail

[@karenlowes7802]

What a sweet man showing you his country. Kind people are found everywhere and they make all the difference❤

[@jenh9252]

The way he grabbed Curts hand was so kind!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝Fantastic video. Amazing waterfall at the end. That guy was amazing and with no special hiking shoes, hiking clothes or gear….just very confident ,very friendly & very sure footed….all universal attributes & easily understood in any language.. 💝

[@lindawatson8087]

I would have never guessed that Albania was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@sparkytuttle2966]

A day late, but I am so glad to see such beauty. Love that elderly man walking like it's nothing along that tiny trail. I laughed when, at one point you were hesitant and he just kept on going. He is so proud of his country. Those pink trees were outstanding. The blue water and amazing waterfall are stuff you only see in dreams. Albania... a surprise around every corner. Thank you. ❤

[@orawancarlile6192]

That Albanian gentleman is so kind and wants to show a guess around of his pround land. Thank you for being brave and willing to show us the country.

[@sophiemarcaurele]

🫣 that senior gent walking the sheer cliff trail made up of loose rocks like some mountain goat! You're much braver than me, Curt 🫡 🐐 🏔️ but gosh, what lovely views in that little-known country 😍

[@BrandyLMilton]

I thought that as well!

[@Lisabeefree-h7d]

Nice video ! Love all your videos , what a trip 😂 . Hello kitties ❤😊

[@myrnaedmisten599]

Curt being led with such joy by the shepherd. What a day! And the gentleman’s respect for America was evident. What an experience!!

[@PhoenixBeI]

Simply fascinating! The thought that people carved those tunnels, by hand!!! Is mind-blowing. The rest of the hike! Wow! I caught myself bitting my fingernails watching you on the river trail 😬! Just gorgeous. Those waterfalls! I saw the same blue rivers in Germany. It's because of copper. Copper gets in the water, deposits on the river bed, and rusts. Copper rust is blue. That's why the statue of liberty is that color. It's made from copper.

[@gabygaedecke2411]

WHOA! That was THE BEST hike! First the serendipitous meetup with the local elder, and then the waterfall(s) hike. Curt's wonder and delight were so inspirational. And Snow - the music selection was excellent "I don't wanna race just to come in second place, I want to enjoy my life..." YEAH!!!

[@carolmitchell8014]

STUNNING 😍 THX Curt for taking us to see the Waterfalls and for the Nature & Beauty on your quest to take us along with you!!!

[@anngibney5548]

Im loving Albania.

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

This was once again, one of the best tours of Albania. What a majestic place!

[@Stephanie-kt9vh]

A VERY rare moment, I am SPEECHLESS! WOW! Thank You Curt for letting us tag along! No one creates art like God! Isn't it amazing He creates such awe striking beauty from water? Something we take for granted, drink, bathe, play in and He turns it to absolute Art then gifts it to us! Do you guys by chance know what creates that stunning green/blue hue under the water? The water is so clear, it looks like it's running over the purest Emeralds, I truly don't think I have ever seen anything like it. Chicago's greening of the water on St. Patrick's day has Nothing on this. 😁 From my heart, THANK YOU for sharing this with me, but also turning your adventures into a family time, a learning event, you guys are building hopes and dreams and goals for my kiddos just because you are sharing. We are traveling as a family, together, with y'all, how do we say thank you?!?! Everyone here says Hello to you both, Cai'lee says and the kitties😂 we are praying for you guys for traveling mercies, Health and for your adventures to be 10 fold beyond your hopes and dreams. (I think we have all smiles about as much as you have Curt!! ) Be blessed and safe, we can't wait for the next one! Stephanie, Greg, Cam, Cai and baby Case! ❤

[@sandraartistabellestri]

I'd have to say that I absolutely loved the waterfall! But! How awesome was that older man?! Not even out of breath! He showed you an amazing thing no one gets to see! And! We got to see it, thanks to you!! I love you guys!

[@judischarns4509]

I’m holding my breath, sitting on the edge of my seat. Curt! My heart is beating fast. I loved this eoisode and the old man showing you the trail.

[@celestryalcelestryal6690]

Just speechless! This is exactly what you miss when you travel and stay in those fancy 5 star hotels where all the other Americans stay!! I started to tear up at the kindness of that sweet old man. May God bless him and keep him healthy, happy and safe. What a beautiful world it is if we only take the time to notice. I am, as always, so grateful to you both for sharing and taking us along on your adventures.

[@wildmeadows8495]

Curt’s soul of adventure is a delight!

[@bonniejackson1321]

enchanting elderly man, and so nimble....had my heart in my mouth Curt on that stunning waterfall path.

[@cindycreateforlife]

Oh Curt, my cup is full just tagging along with you on your hiking adventure! The older gentleman was so precious and generous, it was just heartwarming and so special but, that next place, oh my heart! I was freaking my freak as you walked on that slippery shale rock, the skinny trails and extremely steep slopes but, what a spectacular waterfall, a wonderful payoff in the end! I admire your bravery but I am glad you decided not to go further! Thank you for taking me with you, I could never imagine such sights without you guys! Stay safe, savour the joys you had today!💕🇨🇦

[@NK-xk9kj]

What an awesome gentleman giving you the tour. I want to be like him when I grow up. He’s in such great shape. Wow.

[@tinaprice6180]

How wonderful that older gentleman showing you the tunnels, he has probably walked the ledges his whole life. That water was magnificent Curt thanks for capturing it for all of us. The water is absolutely amazing. Thank for bringing us along for the ride 😊

[@joanfraser6500]

That waterfall was absolutely beautiful. Thanks for not going any further Curt. 😊

[@suefitz2498]

Your videos are always stunning, and this one had a little bit more today. The beautiful little village with its shops and flowers on display, the views all around, the local man showing Curt his special path was stunning ❤. And Curt, you were so happy on that walk and the culmination with the waterfall was beautiful, just beautiful. Off the beaten track paths are full of unexpected delights. ❤❤❤

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

That is the most stunning country

[@LaLuna2510]

Love love loved the encounter with the dear old man, brought tears to my eyes! Lovely!

[@lisacottrell5924]

So beautiful!! But boy, it looked dangerous!! I would not be able to do that one!! Thank you, as usual for taking us along! The old sheperd was a treasure! He was determined to take care of you!! So wonderful!!

[@justmejb9682]

Curt, you scared me on this one!! Too steep and narrow but beautiful! Be careful and have fun. See y'all in the next video.

[@henryravenel6797]

Probably one of my favorite European videos so far!! So beautiful! Always love the waterfall hikes but this one is just stunning! Thank you thank you for taking us along🙏🏼

[@willevallas]

Amazing tunnels and caves beautiful pictures ..its so green outside amazing gentleman..thanks för sharing ❤

[@queens6583]

That old man wasn't even one bit out of breathe. He'll probably live to 100! Amazing waterfall for sure and the aqua color is stunning. I was hoping you wouldn't slip on the shale rocks. Good job Curt.

[@roamingalone5226]

This place is so beautiful and the local is so friendly.

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

Man!! just Lovin those mosaic streets!! ... they tell a story of such a long history of talented stone masons and a culture of patience! ... Curt, you know I was a nervous wreck watching that tenuous hike ... smh ... but that waterfall was absolutely Stunning!! .. definitely one of the most memorable ones! ... funny how those quaint store-front village streets remind me of places you explored in S. America ... maybe that's one of those universal things for humble old villages ... looking forward to adventures down the road. perseverance furthers ... ... be safe out there! 😺💜

[@gailresources3970]

Just stunning! The Shepard was amazing. He wasnt t even breathing hard. Curt is in good hiking shape but that was clearly rough. Those water falls you risked for us to see were magical. I want to build a house near the aqueduct and help the Shepard. Albania is really a surprise.

[@yeticoncon5136]

I was so nervous watching you walk w the older guy❤

[@sharonmansfield3053]

Wow, what a gorgeous waterfall Curt!!! You are crazy brave soul to walk over all that slate on the mountain edge! Thank you for taking us along. The older gent was so sweet to be your guide. It’s definitely the journey and not the destination for sure! Safe travels friends!! 🚐 ❤️👍

[@BrandyLMilton]

That waterfall was amazing. And I was so nervous Curt was going to try and trek further!!! I’m sure he could hear me yelling don’t do it!! Lol

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

lol!! I think he might have heard both of us, Brandy!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Ha... if yelling worked, then I would have stopped him a long time ago! LOL

[@Graygramma]

I have loved your travels in Albania. Thank you for taking us with you. During WWII, the Albanian partisans and British/American secret intelligence used those tunnels to help move stranded troops through the country to the coast and across the Adriatic to Italy.

[@suewallace6055]

What a cool adventure with the old man. You could tell he'd been on tha trail hundreds of times. He knew it like the back of his hand. It just shows you can communicate with others despite the language barrier.

[@candyclemens4432]

Thanks for your bravery to share that hidden gem . Trueky was a magnificent waterfall and the crystal clear water. Yum what a delightful drink of water that would be. I can just imagine the air quality is just as intense a sense to the body. That is probably why that elder man can move about so effortlessly. ❤ Thanks again.

[@straycat8126]

Thanks for taking us along Curt….this was cool…

[@susanb8354]

I had no idea Albania was so beautiful or Montenegro either. The people seem as beautiful as their countries as well. Kind and beautiful. Thank you for showing them to us.

[@candyclemens4432]

That is treacherous trail !!!😮 you are more adventurous than me 😢 oh my heart!❤

[@enisvebiu4609]

11:10 best part

[@djahant]

Curt, I got chill bumps seeing that waterfall as you went down that trail to the bottom. What a great experience. God is so great and gives us his beauty everyday!! The man who took you along the path above was so genuine. Really great video. Maybe Snow could wear a brace on these types of walk. Would offer support and give her knee some more strength. So beautiful. Wow.

[@1234Bendo]

Thank you so much for sharing this video ❤❤❤ We following you each video! You’re amazing! ALBANIA It’s a beautiful country 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱❤️❤️❤️

[@charlenebird6972]

😮Well that one made my knees weak and stomach queasy..Geez Curt, you're Killin me...

[@limeygal1]

Curt you are a very brave man doing hikes like this but the video you share with us is amazing. I just want to say thank you to you and Snow for taking us on your journey.

[@Windsingerful]

I for one am glad you filled your cup at that point and got back safely! Even though I know you got back safely in order to post this video, my heart is still in my throat as I look over the edge….😱😅😅

[@candyclemens4432]

Have a great day!😁👋

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

The guy who showed you the trail......what a treasure!!! What a wonderful and gorgeous trip! 27:50 WOW!!! That waterfall is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!

[@ruthgibson6475]

Wow! The scenery in Albania is amazing! The waterfalls were beautiful and the Albania fellow helping you to navigate the cliff side trail was a gem.

[@steffy1967]

I’m a relatively new subscriber and I was trying to figure out what is so engaging about your videos and I think it’s down to the genuine infectious excitement you project. I was ON THE LEDGE with you and grinning with joy when you got to the beautiful waterfall. I’m so happy I found this channel. Any time I think I couldn’t do what you do, I remember what Snow has overcome and I believe I can continue to adventure too. ❤❤❤

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you so much!!

[@sofia_ines]

You will love it here @steffy1967 !

[@KW-jr3dj]

Continue to enjoy your posts!! From one kitty lover to another! 💕😻🐱🐈‍⬛💕🥰👍🏻👍🏻

[@cintiapollock2486]

I so loved this one 😊OMG just a beautiful walk thru the market, that sweet little man that helped you! and the secret waterfall Oh, it was magical🧚‍♀🧙 The way Your Voice got higher and higher whenever you were really excited about what was happening it made it so I felt almost like I was there too. Awesome video❤💥💖 thanks Guys!!

[@paulineprice7308]

Curt what a waterfall it is beautiful stay safe Curt and bringing use alone with you and Snow ❤️

[@larkhughes9740]

Egads! That trail with the older gentleman, was so sketchy and scary but the older guy was so sure-footed and kind.❤

[@DarsAdventures]

Albania is an incredible series. My family in Albanian and I am enjoying this videos immensely. Oh and by the way Snow you are just glowing!

[@sofia_ines]

Hi, it's an amazing country! Could you understand the old gentleman? What did he say?

[@sofia_ines]

Hi Curt, hey there Snow! I'm here every wednesday and saturday! You are the BEST! You did it again😊! I usually watch on my cell phone, but this one I have to watch on the TV too! LOVED everything, and that old gentleman reminded me of my dad who is 80, who grew up in the countryside and amazes me with what he can still accomplish at that age...I couldn't do most of the stuff, and I'm 49 😂!

[@wyomingwips7540]

Absolutely Stunning Country there!! How nice of that little gentleman to take you on a tour, such nice nice people there! Take Care, Stay Safe, Blessings

[@rmssi8679]

Wow Kurt....wonderful elderly gent to assist you. Looks treacherous during your solo hike but what a beautiful waterfall. Always thankful to you and gorgeous Snow for taking us along....you are both a blessing!!

[@doodlebug4022]

What an incredible hike to the waterfalls. Thankfully you could take the video for Snow and all of us to enjoy. Bonus hike when Curt met the sheep herder and he showed him a hidden trail. Too bad we didn’t know what he was trying to tell you.

[@KeithandPamBilyeu]

Pam here….OMG!! My tummy lurched when you gazed over the edge!! YIKES!!!

[@Valerygallery]

So much love for that sweet little man on the trail. What an angel. Such an amazing experience for you, Curt. ❤

[@pattyr6616]

That was so fun watching Curt on tour with the local guy 😀❤️

[@debbywebby7234]

I could hear a little tickle of joy in your voice, Kurt, as you were being escorted...definitely a once in a lifetime experience!!

[@carmenburgess8589]

Such a fabulous side trip with great tunes. L❤ve it! Have a good day, everyone!

[@terizumbusch8408]

Absolutely.Great video and thank you so much for doing what you had to do to see that waterfall.What a gorgeous piece of earth. I love how the Lord has these gems.Hidden away for those who will go seek them out and curt you do a good job. Also that shepherd was just a very lovely man. Thank you so much. God bless you❤

[@lindasteller]

Wow, Curt! That's gorgeous, but what a treacherous hike. I'm glad you didn't go further. What a lovely waterfall.

[@drthomason7043]

When you have blue sky and green hills youll get lovely water Who hid,sheltered or lived in the caves Thanks for the adventures

[@Iletmeknow]

I laughed with the old man he was saying to curt at least few hundred times please be careful specially at the last bit. He said please you stay here don’t carry on anymore because it’s too dangerous for you. Poor guy didn’t want to get in trouble if curt continued on that path he was getting really worried about curt

[@Tucker777888]

The thing also is the trail might be ok going down but then coming back uphill might be the tough part.

[@containyourlife]

Hidden gems is an understatement! Wow, weeeee!

[@jeanward1198]

Amazing day of adventure! The old man was so dear and that waterfall is so beautiful. Good day.

[@magdavanzyl6141]

How amazing Kurt. You have been where a few people have been. And, we can learn from the elderly.❤ Thx for sharing.

[@kathysowers]

Wow, what a day! Your "old goat" trail guide was amazing - my stomach bottomed out at a couple of your "straight down" shots, Curt. Loved the waterfall - it looked like something out of a fairytale! Thanks for sharing these adventures!

[@LMin-p8w]

You find the most amazing people on your travels. It shows what genuine people you are. X

[@naylabyxbe3411]

I cannot miss a video…thrilling!!!! Thank you! Keep adventuring ❤❤❤

[@carolyns9687]

So beautiful! And that gentleman was incredibly agile!

[@Peggy-Kay]

That waterfall was absolutely breathtaking! And I especially loved the interaction with the shepherd. Great video!

[@SFNativeGal]

That was a beautiful walk to the caves and the water is incredibly beautiful. That waterfall walk was so scary! I got dizzy watching the trail! But the view of the waterfalls was worth it. Breathtaking!!! Thank you so much for being daring and taking us along!

[@angelamurphy3331]

This is an unbelievably beautiful country Snow and Curt. Hugs 🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪😺😺💚💚🍀🍀

[@KSmith.traveler]

Amazing! Love that man who took his time to guide you down the trail!

[@fayewilleboordse9695]

Wow....that's all I can say! Such glorious views and what an adventure!

[@katGrey-ls1fi]

Hi guys!!! So happy to see you 4 again! I adore you guys! But, am so tired of looking at rocks! I was so hoping for Greece. But, you said there was a prob with that?? Albania is outstanding gorgeous!! I can totally see why you have stayed there so long. It's not our trips, it's yours!! You all 4 are so sweet! Love your gorgeous babies! ♥️ Sorry, done with the white rocks and dry stuff. Love you all! See you when it changes! Take care of each other!!♥️☮️🙏🌈 ♥️☮️🙏🌈🐈‍⬛

[@suerop]

Absolutely amazing! You were smart to turn back when you did. That clear aqua water was beyond beautiful. Curt, you had 2 incredible hikes. I'm so jelly!

[@BJ-xs7np]

Way to go Kurt!

[@debyarger3084]

You never fail to take us somewhere beautiful!❤

[@donconniegardner3938]

Love that pool beneath the waterfall. I could hang out there all day!

[@cherylniemi553]

So glad you took your walking poles--an extra bit of a safety net. And my, that aqua, clear river water, like our beautiful Kalamalka Lake (lake of many colours in the indigenous language) near Vernon, B.C., Canada🇨🇦

[@DaleRussell2]

Interesting place for sure. 😮

[@justinekingmaker493]

What a fantastic little side journey! That was so neat running into that gentleman, taking you along those narrow mountain ledges and he just walking like he's been doing his entire life! How awesome was that!? Thank you so much for sharing that!! ❤

[@ThinkAboutIt-2x]

The unplanned stop was very interesting with river & tunnels & kind local. The waterfalls were wonderful but that trail, narrow. But worth effort! The water is so clear & has that blue tinge, beautiful.

[@jenh9252]

That was so smart to leave the city and shows you are real travellers, what a great experience with that goatherder

[@sallydacre438]

Wow! What a great day! That waterfall was sooo beautiful. Not surprised you couldn't stop grinning 😁.

[@binta3760]

That walk through those hills was amazing, but scary too. Side note: Your new cameras create truly incredible videos...the clarity is impressive.

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you very much!

[@mgtdgirl]

Curt, your hiking guide was the best. What a cool experience.

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM OMG, Curt... I was ducking and diving with you on both treks - and am now in love with a wee shepherd called Tahir! What stunning places you took us yet again... YAM xx

[@sammayet9002]

Spectacular, amazing and awesome ❤❤❤❤ wonderful waterfall view 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you 😂😂

[@KSmith.traveler]

You make me so nervous on those tiny, windy, narrow trail’s!
