I ALMOST CRIED When I Saw ALBANIA After 15 Years 🇦🇱

Описание: 🇦🇱 Welcome to ALBANIA – one of Europe’s last true hidden gems! 🇦🇱
This is a country of raw contrasts: from the post-communist color explosion of Tirana, to the sun-soaked Roman ruins of Durres, and the untouched beauty of the Albanian Riviera. In this series, I’m diving into the real Albania—unfiltered, unscripted, and unforgettable.

If you’re Albanian living in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, the UK, the US, Canada, or anywhere around the world, this series will take you straight back home 🇦🇱

🇦🇱 I ALMOST CRIED Returning to Durres After 15 Years! | Durrës Albania 2025 | Emotional Travel Vlog 🇦🇱
I just stepped off the bus in Durres, Albania (Durrës) — and everything hit me at once. After 15 years away, I’ve finally returned to my hometown… and I’m speechless. This isn’t just another travel vlog — it’s a deeply emotional homecoming, capturing what it’s like to return to your childhood roots after a lifetime away.

In this raw and personal episode of Roaming Mario, I walk through the same streets I once played in as a kid coming from Italy. So much has changed — the cafés, the restaurants, even the buildings. I search for my grandparents’ home, talk to locals, and finally find the little square where I spent my summers. I almost cried.

From there, I explore the center of Durrës, one of Albania’s most iconic coastal cities. I pass new shops, a massive shopping mall, and crowds of people enjoying life on a sunny Sunday. But at the historic Venetian Tower, I’m hit with a surprise — the famous rooftop bar is now closed.

📍 This vlog captures real Albanian culture, emotional storytelling, and a budget-friendly Balkan travel guide all in one — perfect for viewers seeking authentic local experiences, public transport info, and off-the-beaten-path Albanian travel vlogs in 2025.

💔 Why This Episode Is Special:
• My first time back in Durres after 15 years abroad
• Honest reactions to Albania’s transformation
• Searching for childhood memories & family roots
• Capturing what it really feels like to return home

✨ Who Should Watch:
• Travelers looking for real Albania vlogs (Tirana to Durrës)
• Albanians abroad feeling nostalgic
• Backpackers exploring the Balkans in 2025
• Viewers searching for emotional, story-driven travel content
• Tourists planning trips to Durres, Ksamil, Saranda & the Adriatic Coast

💬 Have you ever returned to your childhood hometown? Share your story in the comments!

📌 New episodes from Albania, Türkiye, and beyond drop every week.

We’ll explore cities built on ancient Greek and Roman foundations, towns shaped by Ottoman legacy, and modern neighborhoods still shaking off the shadows of dictatorship.
Albania isn’t polished—it’s authentic. And that’s exactly why you need to see it.

🕌 Ever heard of Berat, the “City of a Thousand Windows”? Or Gjirokastër, a city carved in stone and frozen in time?
🏖️ What about Ksamil and Saranda, with their turquoise waters and beach bars still blissfully crowd-free?
These places are starting to catch the world’s attention—but for now, they remain underrated, affordable, and full of soul.

📌 I’ll show you both the famous highlights and the hidden corners. I take local buses, eat home-cooked meals, walk backstreets, and ask real people what life is like in Albania today.
