🇦🇱 DAVID’S BEEN HERE ALBANIA SHIRTS: teespring.com/...
My 14th and final day in Albania continued with some amazing Albanian street food as I made my way back to the airport in Tirana, Albania. Join me on my final Albanian adventure as I visit my friend’s farm in Daias, return to Tirana, and travel back home to Miami!

With my time in Albania winding down, my boy Erjan from Travel Media EU took me to his family’s farm in Daias, a beautiful farming village south of Tirana. It’s full of nature and is reached via a one-lane highway going up a mountain!
There, I got to see their incredible fields where they grow lots of fruits, including melons and grapes. They have some beautiful watermelons growing on the vines there. On the farm, they also have never-ending grape vines. They grow the grapes to make rakia and wine! It’s a massive farm!
I tried some grapes, which were sweet and about 15 days away from harvest. They grow cabernet, merlot, and shesh i zi grapes! As I saw the property, we began brainstorming ideas for a tortoise sanctuary, which is now Turtle Farm Albania! It’s such a spectacular place.
Up at Erjan’s house, there is a rakija distillation set-up. There, I met Erjan’s mother and father and the guest area inside the house. Erjan told me that they also grow tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers on the property, as well as basil, which I tried. It was so fresh and delicious!
Erjan’s mom gave me some candy as a welcoming gift, and then he cut open the cantaloupe, which was absolutely delicious. Then, he sliced up the watermelon we had grabbed earlier, which was incredibly juicy and sweet!
Then, we drove through the town and headed back to Tirana. We passed by some very luxurious villas that cost up to a million Euros. Politicians, musicians, actors, and influencers live in this area!
We drove through the residential and touristic part of Tirana, and passed a faculty where Erjan studied English and French. We also saw the U.S. Embassy and arrived at Opa to eat some souvlaki. They had pork and chicken and stuffed the pitas with meat, tomatoes, onions, fries, and more. They also serve gyros, falafel, schnitzel, kebabs, calamari, and a lot more!
I put on my mask in the car and arrived at the airport. It’s the only airport in Albania and dropped off my car at Rental Car Albania. I couldn’t enter the airport until 2 hours before my boarding time, 8:45 p.m.
I started on my souvlaki, which was fantastic. The chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and French fries was excellent. It’s quick, affordable, and super tasty!
I said goodbye to Erjan and headed to my gate for my flight back to London. Inside the airport, they had social distancing measures in place. I would have a 12-hour connection in London and then fly straight to Miami the next morning.
After 3 hours, I landed in London-Heathrow at 11:05 p.m. I stayed in the airport and posted up at a power bank at the bottom of the escalator to enjoy another souvlaki. The airport was mostly empty, so it was safe.
I slept on a chair and woke back up at 5 a.m. with 3 hours to go before my flight. Then, I headed to my gate. There would only be 14 people onboard. I had never seen London-Heathrow so empty. I had a row to myself for my 9-hour-and-10-minute flight and finally landed at my second home, Miami International Airport. I couldn’t wait to see my family again!

Hell yea❤️I’m coming with u
you are one lucky person, David. You had some of the freshest fruit in the world, direct from the root to mouth. You cannot get anymore freshest than this. Water melon and melon, perhaps best fruits in the world after mango.
Thanks David , get safe at home.
Erjoni Flm Po tjeter here permiresoje nivelin e historise. Vertet kemi ndenjur 500 vjet nen turqine osmane por kemi lindur para tyre.
Haha 😂 tamam e ke thene. Mendoj qe edhe Erjoni pasi te kete pare videot edhe njehere do te kete reflektuar nga ai kendveshtrim. Gjithesesi mendoj qe Erjani ose Erjoni (se di si e ka emrin tamam) I dha nje tjeter dimension gjithe ketyre videove dhe qe nje vlere e shtuar e serive. Kam pare disa te tjere dhe jane shume te frohte dhe duken sikur I kane marre me zor.
I'm addicted to your channel! I've learnt so much about the rich cuisine of my Albanian brothers and sisters. I can't wait until you go and explore my beloved Croatia.

Thank you for the great Albanian adventure, you really found some great places to visit after Covid is over and I like to say to the people who dislike videos from people who show us great places around the world, don't be such assholes and if you don't like a video then why watch it?
Wish you luck and safe travels David.

Hi David, did you take Raki with you :) You are excellent. life is for fun, it seems that you had a good time in Albania, have a good time.
This whole "Albania Series" was amazing.
Thank you so much !
Erjan bravo shum Respekt
Flm ,respekte
😍
Fun fact about albania : 65 percent of population live below the poverty line less than 5 dollar in a day
That's a lie. Don't pay too much attention some of the statistics. They are wrong.
So sad Albania series ends,
Massive kebabs wow. Thought this was in Turkey at first.
This episode made me a little bit sad
, Awww, your back home!!! Hope you enjoyed your trip to Albania. Thanks for showing us some awesome places to visit. David you missed out on some really good cornetti at the airport... Mirupafshim..
When r you coming to India Kerala again
Erjan, e di qe disa te kane share, por shumica e tyre nuk e kane idene, se cka eshte historia. E ke zbukuruar kete seri te videove ne Shqiperi.
Te uroj shendet dhe cdo te mire ne jete.
Vellau yt nga Kosova.
This is albania 100 % autoktone
Wir love Amerika
You must be completely tired now.

Have a safe trip. Lots of love and hopefully you will be back with your family some time in the future ❤🥰
I must say I've had my curiosity piqued about Albania & this beautiful country is on my bucket-list ... I should be contacting Erjan about a visit soon !
Thank you. Can write me any time

Thank you David 😇😇😇
Wow that weird but looking delicious....
Subscribed. Thanks for sharing, that souvlaki looks so incredibly nice. Miss that kind of food here in Bali. Have a look at my channel if you ever wanna come here
Ike MO u mesuam keq me ty...
It's nice to see somewhere like albania having so much influence from the countries around it, all mixed into one. They seem to be really obsessed with greek food lol it seems to be everywhere lol
😍
Love to see your vid's, but not food in your mouth, or spilling from it when you eat.
Good❤️vlog
O erjan po qeke nga daiasi edhe nuk e ke cu ket mikun iher ne petrel
Skishim koh.
OMG 😍
👍

Goooo.. David ...🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲☀️👍👍👍
Big.. Fan bro.. See.. u.. Miami 👋
Good job, davido.
Hi David love from india
Don't call it GREEK. ok. It was made by ARVANITE. Se VLLA KE. You will make a brother sharing that food) thats what that means.
David, you are doing a grate job. I do not travel for some time. Your great work provides comfort and new ideas, it rises thoughts of a passenger in this restricted times. Thank you for your objective reports from Balkan. Kind regards and best wishes from Tuzla.
Souvlaki ain't Albanian food
It is Greek food, but Greeks work in Albania now because of their economic crisis
@@eagleland7036 lol the opposite is happening, now I am thinking again this may be Albanians that came to crisis and went back to Albania with the idea of Souvlaki
@@harrisp7178 I know many Greek entrepreneurs who have come to Albania and opened suvlaki
It says Greek Street food in front of the restaurant lol
Dude it literally says greek street food in the front I don’t know anybody other than a greek that would name their restaurant like that
Hi, David. If you ever decide to visit Kosova, and of cour need someone to guide u around, get in touch with me, i can help u a lot!
BTW, nice series from Albania, excellent!
Greatest of feeling of happiness and elation when you are going back home to your family. Worst thing about the travelling is long flights and rime between connected flights. But all the troubles and discomfort disappears when you see your kids, wife and other members of the family.
👍👍👌👌😍😍
🧒👍✋
the song in minute16 is not albanian bro
Was expecting a proper good bye to your friend and your boy... he was a good host ..
We will meet again in one month,that's why
i live in those vilas and i did not pay 1 million euros i paid 500 half of a million so wtf is he talking about?
My villa cost 1 million, you have cheapest one
Ooo man I got hungry now.
Hi mom you son is awesome
Sufllaqe.
Sorry but Suvlaki isn’t Albanian Food :) It is Σουβλάκι and its Greek food :)
Turkish coffee is also Greek right 😆. JK enjoy enjoy the show
It did says greek street food tho
I don't think is Greek at all. Only the name is Greek. This is proper Arabic style of food. They do this everywhere, in every country.
I've never seen a Greek shop that sell "souvlaki" in London, but I see every Arabic and Turkish shops selling that kind of food in every corner.
If you ask people in London,they will tell you this is Turkish & Arabic food, not Greek one.
@@liljanasufaj1643 souvlaki and pork gyros are greek foods. How can gyros be an arabic food when its made of pork?? The arabic style souvlaki is doner and the turkish style is kebab. Gyros and souvlaki is greek fast food every tourist around the world knows that Malakas and souvlaki are the most famous greek words around the world so you are totally wrong
@@Getto21 You can put your name as much as you can, but this style of food is always in Arabic and Turkish shops. I find them everywhere.
👍
Good luck getting back home, I'm going to stay here in Albania another Six Months. BTW is your guide John available for Travel guide service?
Yes. We are 🙂
