FILM
Solo Motorcycle Adventure in Albania. EP 35
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
Albania is the setting for this instalment of a solo round-the-world motorcycle journey. The ride stays on main roads: although the country’s off-road and wild-camping possibilities appeal to the rider, she is still recovering from a leg fracture and is not ready to leave the beaten track.
About this film
Part of the Europe, Round The World series, the film covers the rider’s visit to Albania, the 31st country of her journey. She set out from Australia in April 2017 on a BMW F800GS, travelling solo without a fixed final destination or duration. Albania had been on her adventure-riding wish list for a long time. The episode balances that interest in exploring beyond paved routes with the practical limits of riding while recovering from a serious injury.
The journey
The account centres on riding through Albania on its main roads. The rider describes the country as a place where off-road travel and camping are permitted, making it especially appealing to adventure riders, but her physical recovery and readiness shape the choices in this visit. Rather than taking those less-travelled options, she keeps to the main-road journey and still enjoys her time in the country. Albania forms one stage of a larger trip around the world, following visits to other countries on the way from Australia.

- A solo motorcycle journey through Albania, presented as part of a round-the-world trip.
- A grounded account of choosing main roads while recovering from a spiral fracture in the leg.
