This was our first day in Tirana and here are my first impressions of Albania. It's a great place to visit and I really hope to get back there soon. If you have a chance to visit the Balkans, make sure to visit Albania.
This is from a trip I did with my Mum through The Balkans in the summer of 2018. I didn't publish them at the time because I wanted to catch up on my posting schedule and so I ended up skipping a whole bunch of videos. Now I have the chance to catch up and share them with you!

It's coming home!
I was in Madrid for that game. The Spanish were NOT happy!
Sorry Jordan, but I loovve your mother, I wish she has her own channel.....I like her.
Albania is a place on the Balkans which took a place in my heart! It is so unique, the people are one of the friendliest I’ve met and food is delicious. Normally I would be there at the moment but everybody knows about the rest of the story... I miss it to travel! Thanks for your insight in your journeys, even if they are from the best. So continue your serious that we can travel in mind with you. Nice regards from Switzerland and stay healthy, David-
Absolutely! Couldn't put it better myself. You too, stay healthy!
,💖♥️❤️
wow this video made me add Tirana to my list!
it's well worth a visit!
You are welcome, and I'm shure you will have your best holiday ever you have had in your life.
Actually more than 6 million people visited Albania in 2019. That's twice the population of the country. Anyway glad you liked our country and say thanks to your mom for volunteering for Albania. Greetings from Tirana Albania 👋👋👋
Albania only have One problems and is Denmark is behind alot of hate against Albania Albanians sins 70er ... danish sniky polite... Holland and France no to Albania E.U was financed by denmark
I LOVED Albania. Spent about 3 weeks there back in 2017. We actually hitchhiked the whole way across the country and into Greece. The people were so friendly and we were picked up by the nicest people. The beaches down south are stunning too, just as nice as Croatia and Greece but everything is way cheaper and it just has such a different feel! There were a lot of people there with old Mercedes cars which was cool! Glad you got to experience it with your Mom!
Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words for Albania. We hope to greet you again. It's nothing but love there. God bless.
I went to Shkodër last year. It was my first time in Albania and I loved it. I hope to go back and see more of the country.
Thank you for the video of Albania it's been 16 years since I left tirana and never whent back.. I love Albania
It’s been 21 years since I left shkoder in 1998 to come to London
Tirana is good for few days full of pubs, bars, coffee shops and restaurants. Recently they finished the football ground and can park there also have a massive car park by the Skenderbe square. So you can be in Bloku and near the old castle which they have put some real money in it. it’s really relaxing. Also the main park in Tirana it’s amazing huge and lovely. also south of Albanian is fantastic where beaches are amazing. So is good to visit it once but it’s not a place I must go every year though.
Go back to your homeland. Money isn’t everything
Thank you. I’ve visited Tirana and it was good to see the city more recently.
Loved your videos of Albania. I had planned to spend 3 weeks in May/June, but had to postpone till October/November. Plan to travel the whole country and take in the beaches, mountains, villages, and urban cities.
Have been twice in Albania (area of Durres) . We enjoyed it so much. We will be back for sure 😍👍🙋♀️
awesome! Didn't get to visit there myself but it looks great
TheLifeOfJord You should visit Cape of Rodon . It’s a nice place to capture some view with drone
Loved this video mate. I had an excellent time in Albania when I solo travelled the balkans in 2017. I find Albanian people so warm and welcoming, I went into a souvenir shop to buy a flag and the shop owner filled the bag with loads of other stuff (t-shirt, mug, magnets) and didn't charge me a penny!
Give my heartfelt THANKS to your noble mom! 1997 was a terrible year for us Albanians. That's when I left my country and moved to Canada. It was a desperate time. We came out of the dictatorship and were hoping for a better future, then 1997 happened and it seemed like all was going to hell and there was no more hope for the country. Thanks to those who stayed and worked hard it is becoming a real part of Europe now. Every time I go back I wish I could return forever.
Great video . Thank you for the kind words about Albania. It's a country that is improving every year. Still a long way to go though.
Thank you for watching! Yes I agree and it'll be a place that a lot more people visit in the future
I'm so looking forward to travelling again!!
me too!
Just did a similar trip to yours only beginning of last month . We flew into Ohrid and went to Skopje, Prishtina and Tirana. Was a really interesting trip. Albania was my favourite country to and we've planned to go to back. We hired a private taxi driver and he told us that Albania is becoming a more popular tourist destination now and hit 6 million last year. Also mentioned those huts which we seen a few off during the drives through the mountains, amazing views. Such an amazingly beautiful country. So cheap there and the food is so fresh. Can't wait to Revisit
ohh interesting to know! I have heard that it's getting more popular as a tourist destination and can completely understand why!
Me too, looking forward to going back
That's great you have some old footage to work with, keep 'em comin'! I visited Albania but didn't go to Tirana. Looks like it was worth a day or two.
Jord, words cannot describe how I feel watching these vlogs as it's so bittersweet. My Lord, I can't wait to be able to travel and explore again. Thank you so much for sharing these great vlogs. Happy Easter to you!
me too! Happy Easter to you as well
Really enjoying these trips from the past. In the right context, they are just as interesting as if they happened yesterday. The context for me is that I get to see your stuff that's new to me, while all of us are hunkered down, trying to duck sickness. Hope you're staying off the sauce; it makes you a lot more productive, and me (as an audience) happy too. I had my bout with beer many years ago, and look back on my cutting that consumption as a good milestone in my thinking.
As an aside, you are at your best when you are partnering up with another. It adds interest and perspective. I hope you're able to pick that up, again. Carry on. Your stuff is valuable.
A really good vlog Jordan! Tirana seemed like a fairly laid back place. I enjoyed the story of your Mum journeying back to Albania after 23 years 👍
Thanks! It was great to go back there with her after all this time
Nice place Albania!!, It feels like im traveling to different places and countrys by watching your vlogs, more travel with your mom .. Keep safe Jord😍😙
I am really happy that you spent a good time in my country. We, albanians always try to make the guests feel at home.
Thank you for your impressions and your vidoes Jord. I find them realy amazing and they give me the impression of travelling with you all around the world.
I visited Durres and Tirana during my two night drive through Albania. I stayed two nights in Durres which was an old Roman and Greek port and stronghold and also an Albanian beach town.
You really missed out. Albania also has some really great coats on the border with Greece and Corfu.
Nice video , thanks for sharing!
thank you so much, for visiting my home country many people don't even know it exists if you ever go again PLEASE go to Velipojë its beautiful !!
Agree, what an awesome place Tirana is.
Count me in for Albania. I really want to do this whole trip (Balkans and Eastern Europe) as I haven't been to these areas yet!
I loved your mother's insight on Albanian development. Great video!
Your mum cracked me up at the beginning! She looked like she was just walking round in circles waiting on you haha!
It's so nice that you travel with your mum! I was about to fly to Tirana last March but... covid-19 had different plans for me!
Nice video! 😁
Love that she got to come back all those years later with you! Albania seems very chill , adding to my list now as well thank you!!
It was a great trip to do together! and yes definitely, I'd recommend it for sure
Thank you for sharing this video. You rekindled my interest in returning to Tirana for the very reasons you outlined. Well done!
Thank you Jordan. As Albanian and American dual citizenship i thank you for this video. Happy Easter and God bless.
Awesome and thank you too! Happy easter
Thanks. I enjoyed the video and the series so far. Look forward to your next video and the series that you are planning for the future. Hope you stay healthy.
Thanks a lot for visiting Albania
Well doon mate and thanks for showing up to the world what albania is like big respect
Was there in 2015 - the starting point of a fascinating three-week road trip that also took in Podgorica and Kotor (Montenegro) Dubrovnik (Croatia), boat trip to Bari and Naples (Italy). Despite all the unfounded warnings for my safety, I found Tirana, especially Downtown, to be really cool against a background of a city struggling to be better - there were quite a few really run-down areas and the Pyramid of Tirana is an example of that. How come I did not get to visit this derelict site. I regret not staying in the country longer to visit the coast and the lakes near Shkoder. Look forward to your future travels .... whenever? I recommend the Radio bar for a drinks venue filled to the rafters with .... radios!
We do the same thing during the weddings)) :D While driving from point A to point B, all the cars will drive together and honk all the way to point B :)) I actually like this "tradition" ^_^
Jordan, this is a really nice journey to Albania and down the road watching this video you will have memories with your mum in a place that meant a lot to her.
Absolutely! will be happy to watch these back in the future
Love your hard work in your vlogs and how you continou
Lots of love to your mum. Stay safe ❤🤩

Thanks for the vidio.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video mate
Bello vidio bravi.
Wow very cool video! I learned a lot👍🏼
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
Hi Jord, just out of curiosity - Did they stamp your passport when you entered Albania? Thanks once again for another great video.
Hey there! We went to Albania last month and they didn't stamp our passport. Which gave us a little bit of grief trying to get into Montenegro.
i live in korca albania
Due to visit Tirana and Ohrid in June but I doubt they’ll go ahead. Enjoying your videos so keep them coming 😍
Thank you! It's a great part of the world to visit, maybe some time after this I hope!
Welcome in #Albania
You know you can climb up it when I was there as my family is from there I tried going up it but I couldn’t but others did.
The world cup game set up was cool in Albania. how was the beer?
Yeah cool place to watch it! Pretty good to be fair - and cheap too
@@TheLifeOfJord Are you still not drinking?
Mad tekker skills Jordan! Which team do you support by the way? Benfica fan here

@@TheLifeOfJord ha ha n thnx for d reply🙃
Stay safe mate!
you too!
Before he knew Croatia would smash his dreams..
haha the next one will be ours
the world cup semi final in 2018
@@TheLifeOfJord surely England will win in 2022..😂😂
I was soooo rooting for Croatia to go all the way! Not least because they had beat Russia on that epic penalty shootout. Hvala, Hrvatska. Thank you, Croatia.
👏👏👏👏
Nice video.. Learnt a lot about Balkans..
I request you to please visit India too..
When I lived in Europe 1983-84, Albania was the only country, the US (I am a US citizen) would not allow you to travel to. You would be totally on your own if you went, so I didn't go.
Oh wow yeah like North Korea now. A good example of how times change
As a Soviet citizen at the time, albeit a child, I wouldn't have been able to go to Albania either. Even if I had managed to get permission from the KGB to go, Albania wouldn't have issued me a visa. They viewed both the USA and the ussr as their archnemesis.
Would love to visit Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo hopefully later this year if lockdown is lifted, I recently visited Ukraine and Moldova there both really interesting and off the beaten track also would recommend Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina there interesting too and off the beaten track
Great stuff again mate. Glad to see Tirana has something on offer, as was hard to grab a feel with our one night there and just went to a bar and had a few beers & a bit to eat before heading back to our hotel to catch our flight. Will definitely be heading back to the country to explore at some point in the future.
Also, I don't if you (or anyone else) found this, but my google maps were completely off, as I spent 20 mins trying to find a sports bar that didn't exist on what my maps said haha.
didn't notice that myself or can't remember at least! Yes definitely going to go back too, heard great things about the southern coast
You dont have visit the lake, the blloku and other streets of tirana.

After what I saw in your videos, I concluded that Skopje is more beautiful than Tirana!!
Well done Macedoniа👏🙌
No it’s not lmao and Skopje is one of the smallest capital cities of Europe and the Balkans not please you nasty slav don’t cause any drama and go away go back to Mongolia where your ancestry is from over 1 million Albanians in fyrom

The country is called NORTH MACEDONIA. If you travel there get the name right.
It wasn't when I visited ;)
Did you visited the terorrist camps? Marijuana production in Lazarat? Or the Yellow house in Nort-Eastern Albanistan, where you can buy any human organ?
