This trip taught me so much about not only other cultures in this world and the history behind them, but about myself and the person that I can shape myself to be in this world. The people, experiences, and places that this trip offers is truly life changing in the best way possible. I had the most incredible experience and will be going on another trip as soon as I can.

Overall it was great. I think that in Albania it would be good to add in some beach time for the those whe want it. Maybe stay a night in Ksamil and make Butrint optional.
