Albania is not only seen as a tourist destination by foreigners, but also as an opportunity to live in our country. The finding comes from the American media CNBC, which has dedicated a long article to this fact, describing Albania as the No. 1 country in Europe that meets many criteria.
Cepee Tabibian, the founder of "She Hit Refresh", a communication platform that helps women over the age of 30 move abroad, shares her experience, as she says that like many Americans, she had dreamed of moving to Europe.
After moving from Texas to Spain, Tabibian confesses that in recent years he had heard a lot about Albania. Curiosity made her stay for about a month in our country in 2024, where after visiting Tirana and the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, she was amazed by nature.
For him, Albania is the No. 1 destination in Europe that Americans should not overlook in order to live, and he lists the reasons. Affordable prices, ranging from food, restaurants, health care to apartment rentals that are less than $500 per month, are a huge advantage for Americans.
Another benefit in Europe, according to the founder of the platform "She Hit Refresh", is visa-free stay for Americans for up to 12 months. But it's not just the stunning nature that lies behind, from the Alps north to the south, to the stunning beaches of the Adriatic and Ionian coastal riviera.
The city of Saranda and its beaches are compared by CNBC with those of Spain and Italy, from where in just 30 minutes by ferry you can cross to the island of Corfu in Greece. CNBC says that the hospitality and pro-American sentiment has made Americans see Albania as a golden opportunity to live and feel at home.
