I really understood during this trip how much I appreciate clean water 💙🌊

The boat tours were honestly the best way to find those beautiful spots. They take you away from the crowded beaches and into places where the water is so clear and blue that you just want to jump in immediately.

On our last day in Albania, we went to a regular beach and it was honestly such a disappointment 😭 It was crowded, dirty and just nothing compared to the places we had seen from the boat.

And there’s another thing I realized: I actually prefer swimming in fresh water 😂

I don’t really love that feeling when you get out of the sea and the salt dries on your skin. I always feel like I need a shower immediately.

But swimming in a lake is different. No salty skin, no sticky feeling, just cool fresh water and you can actually relax 🤍

Now I know what kind of swimming spots I’m looking for on my next trip 👀
