I just found your channel yesterday,and I'm addicted! I'm in the US and stayed up until 2am this morning watching. My wife somehow came across a pic of remote Albania,and next thing I know I'm lost on a rabbit trail just searching so much random information on Albania. You both seem like amazing people and are so calm and free.....I'm jealous! Your channel is so relaxing and I can't wait to see more. I'm disabled and would love if me and my wife could be like you both,but unfortunately that isn't the case,so now I'm living it through you both! I'm not sure how it would work or convert or whatever, but do yall have a place we (viewers) can donate/send money to...to help keep you both keep doing this?

Hi, Justin I to have just found their channel and share your sentiments. I am also researching so much on Albania and I am living it through Lucy and Ben who provide a brilliant channel and have been on a rabbit trail for a month. I hope to visit all the Balkans in a two month (The maximum meds I can take)trip by bus, train and a plain when the pandemic calms down. I also have disabilities I live with such as narcolepsy and very poor asthma due to nearly dying of pneumonia four times since 2012. The last time in 2018 I was in a coma. I am also looking to retire in the Balkans for good in five years at 55 as I've just discovered a pension I didn't know I had . I found your words echoed myself in so many ways. I wish you the best.
@@FromRustToRoadtrip love watching your videos 🚎🌍We're all good still in Istanbul day 24 self isolating - we may be here for a while but still smiling 😀stay safe x
I've only recently discovered your channel and I just wanted to say I find your videos really entertaining and relaxing to watch - plus they're a lovely break with everything going on at the moment.
Thanks so much for all your videos. I was due to go to Albania, with my husband and 9 year old son at the end of May but, sadly, due to the pandemic, probably won't make it 😭 It's been on my bucket list for years, as we love the road less travelled, and have already been multiple times to other parts of the Balkans, but will just have to tour the country and the rest of the Balkans with your films instead this year.
Aaw that’s such a shame! Hopefully the travel restrictions lift soon and we can all travel freely again. Albania is a wonderful place and you’ll certainly enjoy it once you get to go there eventually ☺️
Hi Superb filming all the way through Calmly delivered dialogue ,made such relaxing and entertaining viewing. Brilliant done guys! Looking forward to your next episodes.
oh my, two more of the most amazing places I've seen, they imprint on my being. in these times they become truly magical gifts. It is totally right and natural for you to return there (Balkans) as you so belong and blend, I want to help see more of these amazing places as we all emerge. I have a few more suggestions and questions that won't fit here so if I may I'll stick them in an email when I get chance. Thank you for your wonderful work, it keeps exceeding and growing in impact.
Thanks Clive! We feel the same, as we were driving around the Balkans on this trip we kind of came to the realisation that this is where we belong, not the UK. We love people’s attitudes to life, we love the food and we love the culture. We’ve outgrown our roots now and it’s time for the next stage in our lives. Do send us an email any time, we’d love to hear your thoughts!
I'm old enough to remember being warned in NW Corfu not to swim out too far otherwise the Albanian Navy would arrest you! Kassiopi is only a couple of miles from the Albanian coast.
In all my life I have never been robbed in Albania, even during civil war. But I got robbed twice in Warsaw and got mugged in London outside a pub during my visit as a tourist. Albania is safer than Europe. This I can guarantee from my own experience.
We're sorry to hear you had that experience in London. We feel the same! Despite the reputation it gets we actually feel totally safe there- we’d actually forgotten to lock everything up by the time we got to Bosnia and it was a shock to see the sudden risk of crime again. Our van was broken into in Portugal and my purse was stolen in Greece but never have we had any trouble in the Balkans
Sorry guys for that dogy garage , I wouldn't trust them myself unless I do know them, it happen to my audi aswell , they open the whole engine to get to the the thermostat ,when the problem was with the main engine cooling fan. Good to watch you guys , enjoy
Hi really enjoy your videos great camera work what precautions did you take when parking up and going for a walk like people breaking in/stealing the van stay safe
Hi, thanks so much! To be honest we didn’t tend to take many precautions in Albania, it’s such a safe country and we’ve had no trouble in all the time we’ve spent there. We do have chains and padlocks for the doors though and a steering lock for areas we don’t feel so safe, as well as keeping our valuables in a safe, but the only time we’ve had trouble was in Portugal and in Greece
I hope you know how to make that tea. You do not steep it you actually have to boil a hand full of it in about 3-4 cups of water for a good 10-15 minutes. It is very aromatic and without caffeine. Helps with relief from cold and flue symptoms and with digestion.
Ah that’s good to know, thank you! We actually gave it to someone as a present but we tried some mountain tea made in Pukë with dried berries in t and it was delicious!
The GJ sound does not exist in English. It is like G as in George but a unification of the G as Good sound and Y as in Yes sound. It is produced by finding the spot where you put your tongue in the mouth when you say the G sound as in George and instead of rolling the tongue you push it a bit further ahead and touch the palate. The same way you can find another sound that Albanian has as English does not, the Q sound. Only this time you do not touch the palate.

This spot in Albania is one of my favorites! Can't wait to go back this summer!
I imagine it’s incredible in the summer!

Aslong as you’re still smiling 😃 I guess it gives you lots of times to plan more adventures 🙏 stay safe all the best
Old town is beautiful and the scene of a fabulous folk dancing festival.
I've only recently discovered your channel and I just wanted to say I find your videos really entertaining and relaxing to watch - plus they're a lovely break with everything going on at the moment.
Thank you that's so lovely to hear. Makes it worthwhile! Keep safe
Loving the sights of the snow capped mountains and those hot springs are amazing .. Thank you for opening my eyes to Albania!
So glad you enjoyed it! Albania is a wonderful country

Hi Superb filming all the way through
Calmly delivered dialogue ,made such relaxing and entertaining viewing.
Brilliant done guys!

Love the videos! Amazing place and love the springs really want to go some time! Been following you lot since the begging And love it!! 👍
Thanks Max! 🤙 Definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in Albania!

Llixhat have healing powers a lot of people go there for that reason 👍
Another cracking vid. Beautiful area. Glad you’re now both safe an ‘bunkered’ in the uk. Stay safe. Look forward to seeing your next vlog
Thank you! Next video out Sunday :) Keep safe!
I'm old enough to remember being warned in NW Corfu not to swim out too far otherwise the Albanian Navy would arrest you! Kassiopi is only a couple of miles from the Albanian coast.
That's crazy to think that wasn't even so long ago in the history books! So much has changed
Haha...Just watching I get anxious that the van is going to break down... christ knows how you kept so calm and relaxed about it all... :)
We’re so used to it giving us problems these days it doesn’t really affect us anymore 😂
Once again great video , love the raki racks :) Thanks again . Keep safe .
Thank you! Haha seems plausible I think 😂
Thanks guys for another great vlog ! I fear bad roads are ahead 😳 I hope you find that garage and people who don’t want to rip you off !!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! The next episode is about the worst road in all of Albania, it’s actually undriveable 😂
From Rust to Roadtrip oh my goodness! I shall be on the edge of my seat clutching my buttocks 😂

You guys are doing great at showing our country many thanks and hopefully this will change a lot of stereotypes many thanks

Ah I see, that makes sense. We do our best to get the pronunciations right but it can be tricky!
Visit Himara south bro! hopefully the virus is gone.
SWAP YOUR GLOW PLUG RELAY WITH ONE THE SAME FROM YOUR VAN THAT IS LESS IMPORTANT
Military bunkers - missile storage most likely.
It does definitely look to be missile storage but why, and how did they get them up there? 😳
you can test glow plugs with your battery its on youtube STAYSAFE
Thanks for the tip 🤙
