Celebrating Christmas in Albania 🇦🇱

Work with me: www.jamesleithart.com/work-with-me Christmas looks a little different depending on where you are in the world. After returning from a short trip to the U.S., I settled back into life in Albania and leaned into the quieter rhythms of the season - decorating my apartment, wandering Christmas markets in Tirana, staying consistent with training, and spending time with friends and community. This video is a small window into what Christmas looks like here, in the place I call home. 0:00 - Drone over Pogradec 1:36 - Decorating my house for Christmas 4:24 - Tirana Christmas Market 5:52 - Staying in shape 6:56 - Things have been hard lately… 9:08 - Pogradec Christmas Market 10:03 - Pogradec city lights 11:03 - Christmas day in Korce 13:27 - Into the mountains 15:08 - New Years Eve 16:02 - New Years Fireworks in Pogradec Want to support my journey?
