Gjirokastra, Albania 2021 | Ismail Kadare House | UNESCO Heritage Site | Places to visit Balkans

Welcome to Gjirokastra, the stone city in Albania. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the old town is famous for being a well-preserved city of authentic architecture and its fortress overlooking the entire city, the old houses lean against the slopes of the hills with their beautiful old wooden facades. Being the birthplace of the Nobel-laurate writer Ismail Kadare and also of the notorious communist leader Enver Hoxha, the city is intriguing and controversial as it preserves well all phases of history. You can come here for a day, as it is only 50 km from Saranda, but better spend 2-3 days to experience it fully.

A Lifetime Together Making the Globe Our Playground and Home.

Hi! We are Jesse & Julia. We are two travelers doing what we enjoy the most – exploring the world.

Along our travels and work our paths crossed in Xuzhou, China. It was this common adventurous attitude that brought us to the same place, and now we both share it together every day.

We create travel videos and life events as a way to share our experiences with family and friends. Life is a journey with many destinations and events.

We do our best to share these with you for fun and our passion for travel.
