    I think Sarande is this next hotspot and I hope people don't flock there in hordes driving up prices. This has happened to Antalya, Turkey which is unfortunate, prices in Antalya have doubled in recent years as people flock there in staggering numbers.

    Thanks for the info. Does Sarande have ridesharing (Bolt/Yandex/Grab, etc), and if so what is the cost of trips from AirBnb to restaurants/grocery? If no, how much is conventional taxi going across town?

    • @WarrenJulieTravel
      @WarrenJulieTravel  Месяц назад +1

      Not that I know of. There are taxes and they are reasonable. It is best to negotiate the cost before getting in for the ride. The city has so many markets that it is very easy to get everything you need by walking. There are buses too and they are very cheap. Restaurants are everywhere.

    I live the good life and I live in luxury and I spend less than $1600 a month.Includes everything on the beach of Florida.So why would I want to go to Europe? It will cost me more. I own my home .I am looking for a much cheaper cost of living, like $1,000 or less. . 80 years old can't get insurance out side of USA. Insurance cost in that country who's called left in a 1000 a month. It has to be very cheap medical, so you could rely on your cash. Since you cannot have insurance, do they exist? Those places question. Turkey used to be that way where you could have a great life in a great country. But Turkey had triple and cost past 3 years ago. And it's not visible anymore not to mention they change all immigration laws.

    I had to google the cities in Albania to finally understand the name of the city where they're at. Sarande in Albania. Is it correct? Again, thank you for considering my request that you put up the name of the cities and places youre referring to in the vidoe. It would be very helpful to your viewers like me.

    Please put the name of the cities and country when you interview or talk about where you are. Some of them are less know cities and even countries. It will be helpful when you put the names of the places you mention. Im watching right now and am trying to make sense what is the name f the city or place this couple is. I understood Corfu which overlooks the place theyre at but not where their airbnb is. Thank you for considering my request.

    Would you recommend Vlore or Saranda for a single lady, 50's who likes smaller towns, beautiful beaches?

    • @WarrenJulieTravel
      @WarrenJulieTravel  Месяц назад +1

      Personally, the expat community in Saranda is closer knit than the Vlore as we understand it. With this in mind, I would recommend Saranda. Perhaps Joel and Michelle and others will also write their opinions too. I hope it works out for you:) Thanks for watching.

    • @WarrenJulieTravel
      @WarrenJulieTravel  Месяц назад

      We explained this in quite a few videos, sorry I am assuming you must be fairly new here. If you’re looking for a lower price, AirBnB, make sure you put a cap in the price of your search. Otherwise you will see whatever airbnb wants you to look at. You will also need to make sure you’re looking at the right time of year, if you were looking at summer months, things are going to be more expensive, especially along coastal areas. make sure you are searching for a complete month, if you are searching for one week stays, it’s going to be more expensive.

    How can this be when airfare alone for 2 people costs $2k to Albania!!

    • @WarrenJulieTravel
      @WarrenJulieTravel  Месяц назад +2

      If you are coming from a European destination to Albania, it’s not as expensive. One example is from Lisbon to Tirana. Flights can be found for $72 per person
      That is only one example

      There are many different prices for airfare as locations. Look through both channels to see how they find great prices on airfares.
      I used to think traveling around the world was only for the rich. Thanks to great content creators like these I've found it's cheaper than living in most US cities.
      Good luck on your journey 👍🌞

      @@WarrenJulieTravel I was talking about "escaping USA" and airfare from this USA (not Lisbon) is expensive. But you're right that it's the initial cost but thereafter it's cheaper to sustain outside of the US. Even 30k is still a bargain compared to any metro stateside!

    • @WarrenJulieTravel
      @WarrenJulieTravel  Месяц назад +4

      You can get cheaper flights to Europe. You just need to get to the continent. You can easily find flights from the US to Europe for under $400 if your patient and search multiple different locations to arrive into. You may be choosing to arrive in Rome or Frankfurt or the Netherlands, maybe Turkey or Belgrade. Are you also looking for a round-trip ticket?
