Albania we have some really big news coming up for you guys it's uh going to be a big
change right now we are currently in Mexico and we've spent nearly four months traveling
around and experiencing Mexico for ourselves but here's the big news we are coming back
to Albania yeah so basically the entire time we have been here in Mexico we have been thinking
back about Albania over and over again kind of thinking about the good experiences that we had
the amazing people there the amazing country and we really just want to come back
basically we spent as you and many of you guys may know a lot of you have been following us uh
from the very beginning of our channel even but we basically traveled we left Ireland in April
and we traveled to Germany we spent some time there then we went to Croatia then Montenegro and
then Albania and Albania really was the turning point for us for our youtube channel and for
genuine generally our lives as a whole we've never experienced a country like Albania before in our
lives and it really changed us in such a positive way it made us see Albania for what it is we heard
a lot of different stigmas and stereotypes about Albania before we came and visited
and to be honest when we experienced Albania and we spent such a long time traveling around
Albania we really saw it for what it is and it is an unbelievable country with amazing people and
amazing traditions as well so basically the plan right now for us is we're going to stay in Mexico
up until like mid or maybe end january and then slowly make our way back to Albania but we need
a little bit of help we have been looking into visas a lot and we are not sure what type of visa
exactly we would need in order to be able to work in Albania because we have been receiving
quite a few comments from you guys as well that we should maybe think about you know opening a
tour agency or maybe like a hostel or something like that to drive more tourism towards Albania
and that's exactly our plan so we want to come back and then first of all get a visa find a house
in one of the places that we love so much such as for example maybe Tirana or Vlora or Seranda
Gjirokaster these types of areas so we're going to try to find a house there and then drive more
tourism towards Albania but we need a little bit of information around that because pretty much
every single website that you find says says something different about what exactly we need
and what the requirements are so if you have any insights as to what we need to do please let us
know in the comments so yeah guys we're basically planning as Naomi just said we're going to be back
in Albania towards the end of January and this already sort of stands for what Albania is because
we reached out to a few people that we know from Albania uh when we were over there and one of them
immediately said to us you can stay with me in my apartment in Tirana for a month for free so that
kind of speaks volumes of how much we want to go back and how much we want to give back to Albania
as a country we're literally planning on going back there permanently and we're planning on being
there for many years to come we're going to start basically our own business we're going to bring in
more english speakers more german speakers into Albania advertise the country as a whole and with
your help perhaps we can hire a bunch of Albanians to help us we basically need to build a team a
community around this idea that we have and if that's possible that's amazing if it's not we're
still going to be in Albania we're going to show you guys everything that we love about Albania
everything that everything that why we came back basically to Albania there's so many
reasons absolutely amazing people as well like can you believe we reached out randomly to to
one of the people that we know back from Albania and they immediately said she immediately said
yeah no problem stay with us for a month in Tirana just to kind of sort yourself out and to be honest
that never happened to us and it's just incredible how the people of Albania are like it's so
generous and we are just so grateful for it yeah 100% again um going back to that point Albania
for us it really changed us in so many ways it sort of altered our view and perspective on
many different things in life it taught us to be grateful for what we have and where we come from
and experiencing Albania the nature the people the food the food is some of the best that we've had
in the world since we've been traveling we've been traveling now for almost a year like nine months
and albania is the number one place that we've experienced so far overall so that really says it
all and um yeah we cannot wait to be back the plan at the moment is we're going to be back in Tirana
around the end of january start of february we're planning on spending at least one month in Tirana
showing you guys all of our experiences and documenting every step of the way from arriving
in Albania with literally nothing to starting this hostel starting and possibly a tour agency
and taking you guys from start to finish from a all the way to z don't get us wrong we both love
Mexico it's actually the reason why we've been here for so long as we said coming up to nearly
four months that we've been traveling around Mexico but in terms of our lives our our situation
everything that's going on it just feels right to go back to the Balkans to Albania
and connect with all of the people that we connected with before when we were there
because me and Naomi can really feel we feel good about heading back there and about setting up our
lives for the future in Albania so guys if you or any of you do have contacts or connections in the
hospitality industry in Albania or if you do know any further information that could be of benefit
surrounding visas drop it down in the comments we much appreciate all of the help and support
exactly we appreciate each and every one of you and we can't wait to see you all soon again
when we're back in Albania but for now thank you very much Merry Christmas , Happy New Year and
