== Hitchhiking out ==
=== East into North Macedonia ===
Position yourself a hundred meters down from the border and put your thumb out. Alternatively, ask the parked truck drivers. Plenty of trucks pass through this border crossing, and you may even get a lift as far as [[Bulgaria]].
* [[User:Quarim|Quarim]] had major problems crossing this border with the autobus from [[Tirana]] in May 2008, because they found cocaine in the bus. After he gave a bribe (which could have been dangerous), they let him go.
* November 2018 - [[Reroll Life|We]] have been dropped off at the boarder and walked out of Albania. Before we reached North Macedonia (between the two boarders) we already found our next driver. *November 2021 - (patagonia.almundo): we arrived on the border hitchhiking from Pogradec (23 Km). There is a coffee shop where you can change Albanian money (lek) to Macedonian Denars. There are taxi drivers offering you to cross and drive you to Struga. We said: "no, thank you. Autostop" and they didn´t bother us. We crossed walking without any problem and in 5 minutes we catched a ride to Resen (our destination).
