Wow! What an inspiration. You are fearless, you are tough, you are smart, you have it all together. You are living the dream. I'm so happy and envious. You tackled some walks today that very few wood even consider. I am your newest fan.
Thank you for the mention of Law & Order: Toronto; I'm a huge fan of the franchise, especially SVU, but hadn't heard this as I currently live in northern Mexico. Love your videos, more, please!!
Wh n I was a student in Vienna I read in a magazine that you could live on mashed potatoes and green salad for a month without ill effects. I liked it fine. Did hav a couple of dates and got treated to a nice dinner, but I was fine. I remembered when I saw you fix broccoli day after day.
I've got to say you set yourself an unreasonable challenge, but you were up for it and delivered. I'm sure that level of commitment and discipline will reward you in your more significant life goals, whatever they may be. Kudos.
Super, your best work yet! Great animal footage and other scenery. Consider carrying a weapon if you are going to sit or walk in more isolated areas. Just a suggestion. You obviously aren't naive, and know you are a magnet for creeps in those situations. Weigh the risks versus rewards.
Hello I am from vlora don't carry arms don't understand this idiot is ilegal and isn't necessary albania is real safe country go in any areas without problems
In many parts of the USA you could get buy $2/day for food and you would have a greater variety with apples, bananas, eggs, rice, lentils, carrots, chicken, cheap bread, peanut butter, cheap hot dogs/baloney, tea, coffee, noodles, tomato sauce, etc. If you have no dietary/health restrictions eating basic is not that expensive. I can't imagine 21 straight meals of lentils and broccoli. That takes dedication.
Yea, Albania isn't really known for cheap food - it's about the same as other European countries. The biggest savings I noticed were in housing & cost of labour.
Thanks Alex. I was in Vlorë for 14 weeks. US citizens can stay for a full year without having to apply for anything so that makes Albania an attractive option. Vlorë and Sarande are nice relaxing options by the coast. I’m not American though so I only had 90 days (overstayed a bit)
Interesting video! My girlfriend and I are in Tirana and enjoy how walkable it is, although I’m not sure $20 would be sufficient for us both 😂. Do you plan on spending your duration in Albania there, or any plans to stay in Tirana?
I'm planning on spending most of my time here in Vlorë but will explore Tirana for a day before I leave. How've you enjoyed Tirana aside from the walkability?
@@isabellerdgz Tirana is great, we’re 10 min from the square in a pretty central location - like yourself we were also in Medellin prior to this and I dig it here a lot more. Where are you off to after Albania?
Great video. Couple questions...how do you determine your next destination and how long do you usually stay? And what do you do for church? Do you watch an online service or you just study the bible?
Thanks Jonas :) I have a large list of cities/countries I'm interested in staying in for extended periods. I pick based on interest, proximity and weather. I stay as long as I can as a tourist which is typically 90 days. Just Bible study at the moment. When I'm back in an English/Spanish speaking country I'll be joining a local church.
Any work you can do online pretty much. Copywriting, web dev, programming, and marketing are popular but at the end of the day, anything you can do from your laptop works.
Hi as from your comment in an earlier vid I looked at airbnb in Vlore and there was a similar to yours for $200/week. It is similar to yours but you might have dealed with the host for a better price for a longer time? One year rental might get more expensive if it includes the summer or what do you think?
I could honestly eat rice for every meal haha i love it. If you're getting bored though, try looking up Brazilian rice recipes. Nothing crazy - they just sauté the dry rice with garlic and onion before boiling and it's delicious.
@@isabellerdgz I'm a 70 year old man traveling Albania. I eat a great deal of rice and veggies with sauce because I love it. I cannot eat lentils because they make me nauseas. I have not found Albania to be nearly as inexpensive as I was lead to believe especially where rents are concerned. I love to walk and see things, I rarely spend money unnecessarily. My greatest expenditure is always rent. Any suggestions??

To live within your budget plus active live is really healthy life. Manstir view is very charming.

Thank you for saying that ♥️
Wonderful video and great tips on how to enjoy a place on a budget while being safe… Great Work Isa 💕
Thank you ♥️

@@isabellerdgz we find produce and grocery staples including eggs, (not including dairy or meat) to be about 70% less than in Canada.
Great video and it shows your dedication to finish your goal. How long have you been in Vlore?
And Is it good for retirement for Americans?

Thank you Lance
I forgot to ask when I watched the previous video how much the $500 penthouse would cost if you rented for a year?
I am curious about your work and other digital nomad opportunities. What fields would you recommend? Is it possible without specialty training?

oatmeal , and eggs are low cost . some places have free food to be found, very good real life $20 challenge
very cool video
Thanks for watching!

Look at monthly prices because airbnb significantly lowers prices for stays longer than 28 days.
I am eating jasmine rice and stewed spinach all week plus 3liters of water daily
I could honestly eat rice for every meal haha i love it. If you're getting bored though, try looking up Brazilian rice recipes. Nothing crazy - they just sauté the dry rice with garlic and onion before boiling and it's delicious.
Do you have a link for your airbnb? It’s amazing!
For sure, DM me on Instagram @isabellerdgz
Nice vid! Albania def affordable. If you were to go to Saranda, you have to go eat at Haxhi! Best value for your money and delicous!
Thank you!
Ive been walking on the road..and its not very safe😂😂 I dont THINK they are lit at all?.. hmm look up...see any streetlights?🤣🤣
I didn't see any but maybe I missed them
'Lentils and broccoli every day' How did you fight the nausea??
Why is rent for your posh apartment not included?
Haha lentils are actually one of my favourite foods so it wasn't hard. Apartment was only $550 :) So I included those numbers at the end of the video

@@Jubal.Harshaw costs are relative to what you are used to and what currency you have to start with.

You have to be one of the simplest people on youtube...you dont even say where you live😂😂...
First sentence in the description but you're right I should've mentioned it in the video. I'm in Vlorë, Albania :)
