whats better: cash or travel check?

Hey guys

Our trip to Albania is getting closer and closer and we both are already there in our minds and realy cant wait until the 4th of September

One more question:

We%26#39;ll travel mainly at the north region (komani- Rragam, thethi park and Boga.. Is it dangerous carring cash? I know bad things can happend everywhere but i read that Bajram Curri has a doubtful reputation when it come to tourism saftyness so perhaps travel checks is a better option BUT since we%26#39;ll walk through a unpopulated region I guess that travel checks will be worthless over there..

So what do you think? shell we start with t.c and redeem tham at Bajram Curri (Is there a bank at this town?) or carring cash will be just fine?

Thanks a lot all of you! your tips helped us so much.

I think you should be fine with cash. I don%26#39;t think you will have any problems.

It feels very safe in Albania so you are better of with cash as it is easier to handle.
