A few weeks ago, we knew little about Albania. We arrived in the capital, Tirana, after a lengthy 10-hour bus ride from Skopje, Macedonia. The first night, we didn’t explore much but felt excited to begin our 10-day road trip. We had many choices for accommodations in Tirana, but we ended up in a quaint, affordable spot. In every big Balkan town, there are free walking tours showcasing historical sites and offering a glimpse into local life. We’ve been on these tours in Plovdiv and Sofia, Bulgaria, and find them a great way to immerse ourselves in each culture. The…

Teaching English in Madrid, Spain is an excellent way for ex-pats and digital nomads to make some money while exploring the city. Unlike most of Western Europe, Spain, particularly its capital Madrid, has fewer English speakers, especially among the older population who didn’t grow up learning English. This has led to a significant demand for TEFL jobs in Madrid. I spent a few months teaching English in Madrid while I was a student, which was a rewarding experience, and the extra income was much appreciated. If you’re looking to earn money while traveling or living abroad, Madrid is one of…

After spending four weeks in Turkey, we decided to mix things up and head further east to Georgia, one of the three Caucasus countries along with Armenia and Azerbaijan. Georgia’s history, marked by both joyous and turbulent times, has created a unique blend of influences from Turkey, Russia, Persia, Central Asia, and beyond. This diversity is evident in the architecture, people’s appearances, and the languages they speak. In Georgia, people aged over 40 typically speak Georgian and Russian but not English. Those under 40 usually speak Georgian and English. This language divide is a remnant of Georgia’s time as part…
