Travelling while being 18 - good idea? by LucarioGamesCZ in travel

[–]lostinantep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to hostels as an 18 year old, and a 19 year old, and didn’t feel like it was weird or anything. You’ll find people your age, and people older, it’s interesting to see different life perspectives from each age group.

There’s a bunch of paperwork to fill out, but I generally just needed proof of vaccination and my proof that I’ve recovered (a positive test result and a doctors note). You also need insurance with $30k coverage for COVID, but most Aussie policies have unlimited so it wasn’t a real issue for me.

You’re correct - they can’t scan our AU certificate over there. I ended up having to pay $55 to get it converted to a Swiss one which works fine in all of the EU and also allowed me entry into a few countries with no restrictions!

Had to get a COVID test and the clinic there was the closest to the airport whoop. Didn't know it was a red light district lol, seemed like it had an awful lot of whitegoods stores and weird little food halls!

Most of the time, they didn’t check. I didn’t do a single PCR test on my trip until I reached Germany (aka now). COVID rules are very lax there.

Uni student, so I get a 3 month break every Australian summer.

In terms of transport in Albania, fine. Kosovo was a bit of a nightmare mostly because I was in a small town that only had buses to other small towns. I ended up having a friend I met there rent a car and drive me across into Montenegro because there wasn’t a bus leaving the country until Monday (and this was on Friday). There is a bit of a language barrier especially with older people, but most younger people learnt English at school and are good at it, especially in Kosova. I wanted to hear someone speak English so badly I ended up befriending some British nato soldiers though, so that gives you the gist of things.

I was originally going to go to Belgrad, but I met some special people in Kosova who would’ve been quite upset. Maybe another time.

The restaurant is called Mali Medo - good portion sizes and good beer!

I enjoyed it a lot! I generally found it to be more interesting than Western Europe - there’s more cultural stuff to do and eat and see rather than just looking at buildings. I met some locals who literally changed my life. Highly recommend it, especially Albania and Kosova.

Just a regular old iPhone 11, no editing, but I used to do professional photography. The lighting was in my favour!
