A quiet moment in Tirana: a mural of Mother Teresa stopped me in my tracks.
Painted with grace and strength, her presence felt like peace in the middle of the city. No guidebook could’ve prepared me for that feeling. Just one of those travel moments that lingers.
One of the most unexpected sights in Tirana is a statue of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson — top hat and all — standing proudly in the center of the city. It turns out that after World War I, Wilson played a key role in defending Albania’s independence at the Paris Peace Conference. The country never forgot. It's one of those fascinating travel moments that reminds you just how interconnected our histories really are.
