We’re not here to sell you a dream — or an overpriced apartment that looks like a deal just because it would cost more in the U.S. We’re here to offer real, honest guidance about what it’s like to live in Albania as a foreigner. This isn’t about profit for us. We care deeply about the people who live here and the foreigners who are considering calling this place home.
Albania welcomed us with warmth and generosity, and we feel a strong sense of loyalty and responsibility to protect what makes it special — for locals and expats alike.
We help you set realistic expectations. Can you live without Amazon Prime? Without grocery delivery, big-box stores, or your favorite drive-thru coffee? Can you handle slow bureaucracy, power and water outages, and a different pace of life? If so, you might discover something richer in return: community, natural beauty, and a more grounded way of living.
We advocate for responsible relocation — not just for your sake, but for Albania’s future. We aim to prevent housing inflation by educating people on fair pricing for rentals and purchases. In addition, we vet every service or person we recommend because we value integrity over income.
We love connecting foreigners with Albanians who are offering thoughtful, unique experiences. It’s about creating mutual benefit, not exploitation. Together, we’re giving back — with every contribution, a portion of proceeds supports meaningful initiatives in Albania.
This country has given us a true sense of home, and through our work, we hope to help it grow in a way that’s sustainable, respectful, and real.
