I have learned that I can legally stay in Albania Visa free for an entire year.I am thinking of getting a volunteer gig at an eco-hostel there and using it as a base.
From the tourist websites it looks beautiful and friendly. I am aware that it does not have the best economy in Europe and that poverty is higher than that of western Europe. This does not matter to me as often it means the people are more humble and appreciative.
Culture-wise is it most similar to Greece, Italy, Turkey, Croatia and other Balkan Countries?
What about the food?
Did it feel safe?
Of course i can look this up myself but would much rather hear from people who have actually visited.
