As our Expedition progresses we are getting more and more interest from different types of media outlets. Online media, print media and even a press release have been issued about us and our project. After our trip to Albania, we were also interviewed on television, twice.
What they are writing about are us and our back story. They also write about our experience visiting the different sites and locations and about our local experience. Obviously, they also help us push for the local UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Below you find a collection of what has been done about us so far.
If you are interested in doing something similar please feel free to reach out to us. We have really enjoyed working with the different types of publications so far.
Television
Report TV, a local commercial TV channel in Tirana, Albania, reached out to invite us to the studio. Day time show Rreze Dielli “Sunbeams” wanted to interview us about our Expedition. In the end, we did it over Skype. This was our first pre-recorded TV interview. Luckily the interview was all in English. We got some great questions and had a very good time. It’s a lot of fun hearing us being dubbed!
