Mark Wolters is a multi-award-winning PhD professor of marketing at the University of Illinois. He and his family have studied, worked and lived all over the world. By many, he is known as the “fast-talking, fun-loving, globe-trotting, travel tip-dispensing host” of a YouTube channel named “Wolters World,” and website. Currently with 1.16 million YouTube subscribers, Mark’s content rivals that of the Northwest travel guru, Rick Steves.
When Mark published his newest video about Albania, a country we loved for three months of travel across 8 different cities, we had to see how he would describe this amazing country. Mark visited many of the cities we visited, and his content did not disappoint us. He succinctly described the nuances of the nation and culture in a way that any tourist can use for preparation toward their own trip to Albania. In fact, American citizens can visit, vacation, or live in Albania up to 365 days without a visa. Just get off the plane and embrace this beautiful and affordable country.
By watching this Albania video on the Wolters World YouTube channel, you will be well prepared to plan a trip to one or more cities in Albania. Mark covers these fabulous topics in his video.
