I Tried to Live on €30/Day in Albania (one bag, no car)

The mission? Visit 5 cities, climb 2 peaks, and spend no more than €30 a day… all solo, all with one backpack. Oh and all in 7 days. 😅 From missed buses and mountain storms to hitchhiking with a literal goat in the trunk, this was more than a budget travel experiment— it was a test of grit.

This is part of my project to reach the highest peak in every European country. These were peaks 32 and 33. And Albania? It delivered way more than I ever expected!
📍 Peaks: Zla Kolata, Montenegro (2,534m) & Mt Korab, Albania/North Macedonia (2,764m)

This isn't a luxury travel vlog. This is raw, unpredictable, and very real.
And if you’ve ever wondered what it takes to do Europe differently… this one’s for you.
