Solo Backpacking Through Albania & North Macedonia 🇦🇱🇲🇰

A bit of a different style of travel for me this time. Instead of staying in a place for weeks, I sped through Albania & even did a day trip to a whole new country - North Macedonia 🇲🇰 Tirana & Lake Ohrid were fun, but the highlight was Shkoder where I really felt like I was living the good backpacker life. I met with strangers - a mix locals & other travels, and went on random side quests. This trip was a good reminder that something having no plans is the best plan #solotravel #solobackpacking #backpacking #balkans 0:00 Intro 0:21 Overnight bus & arriving in Albania 1:35 Hostel Tour 2:33 Exploring Tirana 2:57 North Macedonia Day Trip 5:28 Travel Day: Tirana - Shkoder 6:37 Shkoder 7:40 Sunset, Abandoned buildings, & Dinner with Strangers 9:25 Morning Yap - Life in Shkoder 10:13 Lake Day 10:43 The Journey Must End
