Where my foodies at? People around the world are still unable to travel. Albania would love some safe tourism from all you reading this. Not convinced from my Insta stories and post? Ok... let me sway you with all the delicious food Albania has to offer.
These are some of my favourites with locations. Some I am unable to find the location as they don't always come up on the map. However, show anyone one of these photos and they will steer you in the correct direction. I even broke it down for you by city!!!
Want to learn how to travel the world and work online as I did? Feel free to hop on over to my memberships and extras tab and we can talk more. I have tons of memberships and extras based on your interests so if you like this content there are ways to get even MORE! Ok now, what you came here for THE FOOD!!
