I rode northwest to a small village, Fshat, close to the North Macedonia border. My first ride was 163km northeast to a small guesthouse I found online, Guesthouse Shtini https://www.booking.com/Share-3K8WKd I was intrigued as this guesthouse seemed to provide a truly remote Albanian village experience. So I booked a couple of nights thinking that I would have enough time to do everything at once.
Having ridden the first 150km, I realized that I couldn’t treat this riding experience to be the same as the one I had in Serbia. My scooter in Serbia was 300CC yet this one was 150CC. Unlike Albania, Serbia’s topography is a lot flatter and less mountainous, so riding was easier and faster.
As I was reaching the guesthouse, I wasn’t aware of the 8km unpaved road so it came as an unwelcoming surprise. This last section ride was more challenging and frustrating than I expected as I have been on the road for 7 hours on that day. The weather was getting colder and colder as the road kept ascending passing by canyons and mountains.
I arrived at the guest house at 6:30 pm, felt cold and was extremely exhausted. Having been in Albania for more than 3 weeks at this point, I was missing my husband and the comfort of our home in England.

ABOUT ME:
I started solo travelling in 2013 and left Indonesia in 2016 to pursue full-time travelling while at the same time documenting my journey as I explore different cultures as a solo female traveller.

Having initially travelled for 5 months throughout Asia, I moved to China in January 2017 for an English teaching job, which was my first experience living abroad.

Since leaving China in 2018, I have taken the move to become a full-time YouTube creator and traveller. I strive to create unique, culture-driven content and capture authentic interactions as I travel.
