Episode 1198 - Realtalk show.what I know about Albania before I get there.

Four days into retirement, Joseph shares what's really behind his upcoming move to Albania — proximity to his fiancée in Spain, the one-year visa Albania offers Americans (rare among European countries), and why he chose it over Spain or Italy for the long term. He speaks candidly and directly as a Black American about race and acceptance in Albania, drawing on his own research to separate genuine curiosity from racism, and shares real accounts — good and bad — from other Black travelers who've been there. Joseph also gives a practical breakdown of daily life to expect: the cities he's considering (Tirana, Durrës, Shkodër), cost of living, currency, walkability, and why cash still rules in most of the country. He closes with an update on his plans to keep growing his content — longer podcast episodes, his Chicago to Albania project, and YouTube — now that retirement gives him the time. Honest, thorough, and refreshingly transparent — Real Talk as always. 12:51 PMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/body-of-christ-real-talk--4895348/support.
