Dita e Verës is a holiday in Albania to celebrate the end of winter. Thousands of people from around the country travel to Elbasan to celebrate with music, dancing, games, ballokume, and much more!
The holiday is also celebrated in Tiranë, but in ancient times there was a particular reason that this festival is tied to the modern city of Elbasan…

My Albanian friend, Flavjo, had never seen the coast of Albania. So we decided to change that. We took a four night trip along the coast of the Adriatic Sea to see what it had to offer. We saw some pristine beaches, incredible views, and ate some delicious food.

The second episode of My Albanian Life is more of a history video. We went and visited the town of Korçë in southern Albania, and I did some research on different places in the city to try and help you learn about it!
As I said in the video - if I gave any wrong information, PLEASE PLEASE correct me.

I got an Instagram message a few weeks back from an American volunteer asking if I wanted to come explore another part of Albania. So I spent a few days in Gramsh, Albania seeing what it has to offer. One of the adventures we found ourselves on was hopping into a Land Rover and driving through a (mostly) dry riverbed to a waterfall tucked back into the mountains of central Albania. Granted, it wasn't the best time of year for this waterfalls because most of the water comes from snowmelt, but on the plus side we got it mostly to ourselves!

After getting back from Tennessee and my sister's wedding, I spent some time at my parents' in Alabama. I had to work on developing my apparel brand a bit more and then made a quick trip to Colorado for some presentations. When I got back, my dad and I went to an Atlanta Hawks vs San Antonio Spurs NBA game and then spent a few days in Knoxville with my sister, during a massive snowstorm. After which, we returned to Birmingham to sit court-side at a Samford University basketball game.
