All I want to do is travel, and this vlog is PART 1 of my baecation on Albania’s coastline—Sarandë and Ksamil, aka “Europe’s Maldives.” I’m taking you with me from the moment we’re figuring out transport (coach tickets were super affordable—around 200 lek/ALL-ish) to finally arriving, checking into the hotel, and heading straight out for beach, food and vibes. And please learn from me: if you come to Albania, get your cash out and avoid those red ATMs because I was told they charge you extra. I’m also keeping it real about the experience—this heat is no joke. I’m sweating bricks, the humidity is giving Korea, and even the hotel AC wasn’t really acing, so I had to say something. We tried beach clubs like Ula/Oola when Lost Seaside was fully booked (you basically need to pre-book a day ahead for cabanas), and I share how I think about “getting your money’s worth” by going early and making a full day of it. You’ll also see the strip in the daytime vs night, my getting-ready routine (because that’s honestly my favorite part), and the little beauty essentials I’m not skipping—SPF, body oil, lip combo, and powder for touch-ups so my makeup stays flawless even when I’m outside turning up.
