Oh man, there were plane tickets for 27euros/return from my city, so we are going to Albania again!!! Excited as ever, my son's very first foreign country he ever visited, now he's going back with me! Cannot wait! 😍
Great stuff. I can't say that we are doing permaculture, but we are homesteading and we use all of our chickens' manure and rabbits from the coops and run and turn it into soil. I also go around the neighborhood around fall and collect all the leaves people gather for us in the alley.
I’m having trouble buying sourdough in Albania because I don’t know what the translation is. Would you happen to know what it’s called here? I keep buying breads that look like it, but haven’t gotten a a sourdough yet. Even though all the bread here is amazing
Another great episode! I had a great time hanging out with you guys! Even though our camping trip didn't work out I enjoyed our time in the remote parts of Albania. I need an off-road vehicle soon as well!
Another excellent video! I am a few weeks away from my 2nd trip to Albania. As I watched you drive into the mountains, I was eagerly anticipating my upcoming journey to the mountains near Korçë to visit the village of my great-grandfather. 🇦🇱 🇺🇸
I was born in Albania and moved to the US with my family as a child… I am so jealous you get to enjoy Albania. It’s not without imperfections but what a beautiful country. I hope to move back one day, just worried it’d be hard to adjust to a different kind of lifestyle again. But I can’t even describe how jealous I am 😭
@@user-zv7yb4yp9g no she won’t ! It will be hard probably impossible for any Albanian that lives in US to come back . I been in US 23 years , i was 17 when i came to America, i was supposed to move back this year as my plans was before . I would come back at 40 yo . Nope financially not there and probably never be . I am investing in Albania but I feel like I’m investing just for my kids to come back and sell them for pennies on the dollar when im gone 😢
@17:25...... tourist! 😛I loved the rhythm and the usefulness of the horn all the time, got used to it so much, that I went home and I wanted to keep driving like that.... until the first police stop. 😅
Just to ease it for you... I am happy you didn't go through with that marathon! You were visibly in pain and in your last videos it showed. You will get better with time and you'll try again! 😉
You are doing all the right things. I have had many of those same struggles and often made it worse by not slowing down and taking care of myself. I love the videos you have made at the permaculture farm. It is a wonderful project.
I currently live in Boise, Idaho but lived in California my whole life until 2020, and have been on my own journey of confronting childhood trauma. I’ve been to Moscow so I feel for you as I watched this. Thank you for sharing this
Sending you lots of hugs and prayers. This was excellent. I knew psychologists who referred to how political and old boy Moscow was. We experienced it too for a while. RE your school: The people I met that were in the group I’m sure you were wounded by, could be volatile and incredibly aggressive.
Hello James I’m goin to be retiring in two years I would like to know how can I get a visa to live there permanently if I buy a apartment or a house can you share some information about what can I do or who to contact
A Honda Jazz is by far one of the best cars to drive in Albania and a lot of the Balkans, als long as the roads are not to degraded. The three times we haven been in Albania with our own car it was our form of transport (family of 5). The car looks clean in the beginning, did your friend take an authentic Lavazh before starting the trip?
I’m 20 and had a narcissistic mom growing up and have bad mental health issues and I’m trying to heal from my mom and all the childhood trauma. I have grown up in Idaho my entire life. Caldwell Idaho to be exact. Never wanted to leave a state more in my life. I hope you recover from all the trauma you endured! It will be ok! I always say your flowers can’t bloom unless there is a rainstorm to help them bloom. Best of luck☺️
Didn't make it to Saalfeld this trip? Leitharts are from there... Susanna was born in Vogelbach - Miesau My MIL lived in a barn in Lubeck for a couple of years at the end of WW2.before returning to Berlin Wonderful country. I would love to live half the year in Germany in a few years, enjoying friends and family.
I hope you were able to confront the people who put you through the trauma, I have to ask ,where were your parents when this was going on? Anyway, I hope you feel better about things now.🙏🙏🙏😊
I chose to accept and forgive rather than confront. They wouldn’t have acknowledged any wrongdoing anyway. Things are much much better for me now, thanks 🙏
Eh my dear boy, I wish you could have seen the Albanian forests before 1990, when the state was strong and the greed of capitalism did not exist. The forests were well kept. I have walked through many of them when I was a teen, with my father who went there because of his work. The layers of leaves on the forest floor were knee high and the branches of the centuries old trees reached the sky. One particular forest we walked through to reach Pogradec from Kalivac village. It took us 4 hours of walking through white birch trees and yellow flowers covered ground. I doubt that forest still exist, maybe you can try hiking that path one time in the future to show us what is it like now. If you get a chance though check out Shebenik Jabllanice National Park. I have been there toosome 35 years ago. Beautiful lush forest. They say that it is preserved because of its National Park status. There is even a guest house in the village of Qarrishte: www.google.ca/maps/dir/Bujtina+e+Qarrisht%C3%ABs+-+Guesthouse/Shebenik+National+Park,+Qarrisht%C3%AB,+Albania/@41.2614078,20.4404367,96m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x1350fdfae8360133:0xf8857637d1445dc3!2m2!1d20.4411194!2d41.2614303!1m5!1m1!1s0x1350f9daf55fff6d:0x2f279279446d4cd1!2m2!1d20.4223451!2d41.237966!3e2?hl=en&entry=ttu I love how you are thinking about Albania now as a place where you belong and it is home for you and you are concerned about its future even when you are not there physically. www.google.ca/maps/place/Kaliva%C3%A7,+Albania/@40.8962005,20.5163556,13869m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x1350916e331a0cbd:0x156dc80faa899135!8m2!3d40.896955!4d20.5826261!16s%2Fg%2F1hc7xq_cx?hl=en&entry=ttu
Thank you for this honest and candid video. I’m a Moscow native. I, too, tend to revisit places where terrible things happened in my life in order to go back in time to see it from where I am standing today. It feels good to know that those times and experiences are behind me. Much of my trauma happened at Syringa Trailer Park. I was drawn to the site a few times and going there somehow helped me heal. I don’t really know what your experiences were, but I understand you. Thank you. ❤
@@JamesLeithart Yeah, they have removed all of the trailers from the property and they're cleaning it up now. Probably it will be developed into nice homesites eventually.
