Hey everyone! I'm an American college student with a family that has just moved to Albania. Before we moved to Albania, we found that that there was very little information about the country on the internet. Now that I'm spending my summer here, I've made it my mission to capture the beauty and culture of Albania with my blog to give the rest of the world a chance to see what it's like as well as share what I love about Albania with others living there. Check out my blog at thelittlealbaniablog.blogspot.ca/.

Hello my friend..you are from gramsh elbasan...i'm from elbasan too...mnice to speak with you

Hi! Nigel and Ian here. Originally from the UK, we have lived in Turkey for ten years but with the current situation here, are looking at other options ... Albania being high on our list!! Time to start researching we think!! 

Përshëndetje! My name is Andres and I've just joined Expat.com as I prepare to move to Tirana in just under a month (August 2015). I will be one of the Deputy Heads of School at the new Albanian College Tirana and I am very much looking forward to the experience. I have traveled extensively in Europe but this will be my first time in the Balkans region and in Albania. My two boys (ages 12 and 9) are also looking forward to life in a new country, having grown up in Asia and Africa up to now. I am also a new member of InterNations and BeWelcome and a long-time member of CouchSurfing. I am sure I will probably be using the forum to ask a few questions but more importantly to connect with other expats, and locals, in the area. Faleminderit!

Hello everyone,

Hopefully someone else will be able to help.

Hi everyone, so nice to find a forum about Albania.

I retired early and live in Turkey with my husband, 3 cats and a dog. We rent our home here.
We love it here, have been here for over 4 years, but politically things are looking grim and we're looking for other options, but don't want to go back to the UK.

Many friends are going to Bulgaria, and buying ridiculously cheap houses, but after hours of looking online it just doesn't appeal to me.

Within minutes of looking at Albania I was excited to know more.
It looks beautiful, although I was surprised at prices, but maybe they just seem expensive compared to Bulgaria.

We would ideally want to rent and am hoping to find some sites dedicated to rental, and don't necessarily want a sparkly apartment which is all I've seen so far.
Something a bit more rural with a garden would be nice!

Looking forward to joining your community and seeing what attracted you all to Albania

Hey everyone,
I am originially from Northern Ireland and have come to Albania to enjoy the warm Mediterranean climate - sunshine, blue skies etc. Nobody told me about the rain though! Sometimes when I look out the window I think that I am back at home. I've already tried to climb Mount Dajti twice and have been forced back each time because of thunderstorms.
I'm also a Mathematics teacher who's looking for a job - all grades, but I do prefer teaching the Higher Level material.
If you have any leads get in touch.
Thanks
Paul

Could you clarify as to WHY you have to be an American to teach English?

Yes. Because Americans can't even talk English - like, you know ...

Hi.   I'm about to move to Tirana.   Actually, I'm going to be spending alternate months working in Tirana, doing a jobshare with a colleague who will be doing the other months.   I need to work out roughly how much our expenses (mainly accommodation) are likely to be.    We'll be looking for a two bedroom apartment, reasonably close to the centre of town.   Maybe I should put this question on another thread as well as here?     Anyway, I'm Bernie.   British, single, originally from London, now in the West, near Bath.    I'll be working hard, but also I'll be keen to come out to play, and to explore what seems to be a fascinating country.   I'll be visiting during the first week in December, and trying to sort out accommodation.  After that, January, then alternate months.   Hope to meet some of you in the next year....
- Bernie.

Hi Bernie,

Hi everyone... I am a Kenyan, have just completed my diploma in clinical medicine course and am yet to start my internship next year February. I have an idea that i feel if it can be improved and well handled with the correct people, it will be of medicaly great importance to many people.

Hi I'm Mark,
Am looking to move to the Balkans (likely Albanian coast or mountains) quite soon. I love all animals so am veggie, like to cycle and am getting into surfing slowly, very interested in the archaeology of the area too.  Hope to go dive the wrecks off the coast one day.
