Falling in Love with Kosovo: My Journey with a Purpose, Culture & Kindness –
Words by Milla Magee Miss England – Images @arlinasharla_photography (Instagram)
As I stepped off the plane in Albania, I had no idea I was about to experience one of the most heartwarming and inspiring trips of my life. I was met by Beqir Sokoli and Mimoza Cena-Sokoli, founders and owners of MyDasma shop world who are kindly sponsoring my Miss World journey at the 72nd Miss World in Telengana India, joining us was Arlinda Sharla Our super talented photographer, who documented the next few days.
Our journey began with a four-hour drive through breathtaking mountain landscapes—places once explored by the iconic English woman, Edith Durham. Apassionate anthropologist and traveler who fell in love with the Balkans over a century ago. Her spirit seemed to dance through the valleys as we drove deeper into this beautiful, untouched part of the world.
Our destination was Prizren, a hidden gem in southern Kosovo, where we were welcomed with open arms and unforgettable hospitality. Our stay at the Theranda Hotel—courtesy of MyDasma Shop World—became a home away from home. Nestled in a city that pulses with culture, kindness, and history.”
