Albania is a young state with a long history. Although its lineage stretches back thousands of years to the Illyrian peoples who long inhabited the eastern Adriatic coastline, the modern country only celebrated its 100 year anniversary last November.

Vermosh
Vermosh, the northernmost village in Albania, has only been settled permanently for a little more than a hundred years, but it lies in a region with thousands of years of complicated and intermingled history. The more I learn about it, the more excited I become to have the opportunity to travel there next month, because Vermosh seems to represent the Balkan region and Albanian history in so many interesting ways.
