Bob Tapper: Life Abroad, a documentary travel podcast
Welcome! This is a documentary travel podcast that follows Bob's life as an American Actor, Filmmaker, and Travel Blogger. His journey (so far) includes navigating a global pandemic throughout Europe, surviving a devastating earthquake in Croatia, exploring small town beauty in the Yorkshire area of north England, and living on an island (hammock included!) in the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea. Bob made a huge change, later in his life, to explore Europe and pursue a passion from his younger years // a passion for acting, filmmaking, and travel. So his new life chapter began on January 1, 2020. What could possibly go wrong? Each month you’ll hear his stories, thoughts, and breakthrough moments along the journey so far. He’ll share bonus episodes of his interesting European experiences and life-changing insights that may be helpful to others. If you’ve ever felt like you want to make a major change in your life, but think it may be too late, or you’re too old, or there’s too much uncertainty right now - his documentary journey may appeal to you.

S4:Ep11 - Tirana, Albania (Blloku neighborhood)
NOVEMBER 2023
So, I just went from a small town near the Adriatic Sea up to Tirana, the capital city of the country. What a change! I'm fully embracing it and really enjoying it.
I'm staying in a wonderful neighborhood called Blloku. The Blloku neighborhood is a vibrant area that has undergone significant transformation in recent years. Originally a restricted zone during the communist era, reserved for government officials and party elites, Blloku has evolved into a bustling hub of trendy cafes, restaurants, shops, and nightlife. It is now a symbol of Tirana's modernization and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The best part is that it's within walking distance to my favorite coffeeshops, my gym, and all the monuments you need to see!
In this episode:
- Getting settled in Tirana
- Blloku neighborhood
