Why We Chose to Move to Albania.
Before we left the U.S., everyone asked the same thing: Why Albania?
In this video, we share the real reasons we chose to move abroad — and why Albania checked all the boxes.
We’ll cover what it’s like to live in Albania long-term, including:
🇦🇱 The 1 year Visa Exemption Americans
🏡 Housing and cost of living — what you get for your money
🚶♀️ Safety and community
🏥 Healthcare quality and accessibility
☀️ Weather, climate, and natural beauty that make life here special
Whether you’re planning to retire abroad, become a digital nomad, or just want to understand what living in Albania is really like, this video will give you a clear, honest look at life here.
