Hello I am a 50+ Canadian expat, artist (painter), and frequent solo traveller. I retired early from full-time office work so that I could live abroad, focussing on painting and travelling. I lived in Albania for over two years (Pogradec and Vlorë) before relocating to France. I offer one-on-one video consultations where I can answer your concerns about solo travel, downsizing for an international move, culture shock, banking, cell phone service, costs, safety, making social connections, etc.. Moving abroad has both logistical and psychological challenges and sometimes it is helpful to hear from someone who has already done it. A 15-minute call can yield a wealth of information or perhaps you simply need some encouragement. You may also find helpful information on my YouTube channel--in particular, the podcast interviews I participated in with regards to my journey. 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 set up a one-on-one video call.
