American —> Albania

Hello,

I, like many Americans, am seeking a new place to call home. I’m a 39 single female and would be bringing my two small dogs with me. I’ve read so many great things about Albania, and I love that you can go there for 1 year without any visa as an American citizen. I also love the lower cost of living, cuisine, and hello it’s gorgeous!

A friend of mine believes Albania is unsafe - human rights abuse, issues with women’s rights, significant corruption, were the topics he expressed concern around.

Does anyone have opinions to share?

Thank you!
