Hello from the south of France where I currently reside. I am a 50+ Canadian expat, artist (painter), and frequent solo traveller. I lived in Albania for over two years (Pogradec and Vlorë) and travelled extensively in Europe during that time. My travel is typically low budget, utilising public transit where possible and finding money-saving travel hacks. I write on various travel topics and offer video consultations where I may answer many of you concerns about solo travel, downsizing for an international move, culture shock, banking, cell phone service, costs, safety, making social connections, etc.. I have in depth knowledge of Albania in particular and am happy to discuss both the joyful and difficult aspects of moving to a new country. So, if you are just curious about life abroad or are weeks away from the big day, feel free to peruse my social media accounts or set up a one-on-one video call. Happy travels!
