You can not forget her cute blue hair, once you meet her.
The sky blue might be her limit. That’s where she feels free. Part of the nature. Walking it, enjoying it, respecting it. Or is it the sea that inspired her? The endless greatness that knows no boundaries. The liquid power that holds treasures. The deep feelings. We should ask Claudia.
When I met her, she had just started building “Sirius the sprinter” with her friends and I thought that is the best upgrade a traveler can ever have. A unique van who will take her places. It should be almost done by now. That means she will virtually take you places too.
Meet Claudia Xhaja!
1. If you had a blog, what would be the name?
I have started it with instagram at the moment. I would keep the same name “Clauhepburn”.
2. What were the 2 mistakes you often made when you first started your adventures? And, did you fix them?
I used to take unnecessary things with me. But every time I come back from an adventure I realize that I have absorbed a new lesson which I have in my pocket for the next adventure.
3. What is your favorite Albanian food?
Shkodra carp casserole
4. What is the best genre of music you listen to while traveling? Mention a song
Music is important to me. I generally listen to electronic and funk groove music, but if I would travel with other people in the car, I would greet them with some rock or country song. In this case I greet you with Willie Nelson – “On the road again”
5. What is the strangest place you have spent the night?
Once I slept in a large military tent somewhere in the mountains of Dibra, while it was snowing really heavily outside.
6. What is your dream destination?
I can not single out a certain one but I want to travel as much as possible and see many new destinations.
7. Have you made good friends during travels?
Yes, good and sincere friends. We are all ourselves through adventures.
8. How many pairs of shoes did you destroy during the trips?
Four to five pairs. You have to choose well the shoes you will wear before you go hiking. Choose them based on the weather, the terrain or how many hours you will wear them.
9. Describe in just 3 words your first night in a camping tent.
Special, warm, lovely

10. How many photos are there on your mobile phone at the moment? If I do not have a professional camera, what is the best type of phone I should use for good shooting?
Currently two because I did the reset the day before yesterday. I always take travel photos with my camera, but when it comes to mobile photos, I am an Apple lover.
11. What is the most romantic city or village in Albania in your opinion?
I think any place can be romantic if you are with a romantic person
12. Have you missed any friend’s wedding because of your trips?
Not yet.
13. What are the 3 mountains with the most magical landscapes you have seen so far in Albania?
Çika, Vajusha, Greben
14. Riding a horse, donkey or camel? Which do you prefer?
Horse.
15. What is your favorite quote from an Albanian writer?
“The mistake of a doctor is buried in the ground, the mistake of an architect falls to the ground, and the mistake of a teacher walks the ground.” By Dritëro Agolli
16. How much would you ask Dua Lipa to become her personal guide in Albania for 1 week?
The same that I would ask any other person to become his/her guide for a week
17. What is the most interesting project you are currently undertaking?
I’m trying to figure out how to relate art to travel. In the future it might return into business.
