Moving to Albania ~ Living in Albania ~ Real Estate in Albania

A Mediterranean country with beautiful scenery along both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, along with a great mountain landscape, Albania is attracting a lot of attention from international property investors, large investment companies & holidaymakers. Albania offers spectacular scenery and views, hundreds of kilometres of unspoiled and undeveloped pristine sandy coastlines, white sandy beaches, mountains, archaeological sites, ancient monuments and castles. Albania is a key holiday destination for Kosovans and Macedonians. The country is totally undiscovered by westerners and it is actually considered the last emerging market in Europe to be developed. Albania offers a fascinating history that includes initial settlement by the Illyrians and eventually the Romans, Venetians, Byzantines and even Ottomans. - Albania: A Holiday and Property Investment Destination

Albania ~ Teaching In Europe's Only Islamic State - Albania has always seemed somewhat of a mystery to many in the western world, hidden behind the iron curtain for many years, only opening up to the west in the last 10 years or so. It is however an up and coming Balkan country just north of Greece and south of Kosovo. It is still the poorest country in Europe but incredibly beautiful, mountainous with a Mediterranean climate to boot. Albanian traditional culture, an interesting mix of east and west is abundant and flow along with the newfound practicalities of the west. Tirana the capital now has an abundance of Internet cafes, a French patisserie, Irish pubs and so on jostling along with traditional cafes and bars. In the smaller cities and towns life is less fast paced and remnants of the Ottoman Era and communism are everywhere.

One Day In Albania ~ Europe's Unknown Country - by Richard Robinson - The deck of the Antonios K rattled and shook beneath my feet as the dark land mass loomed larger through a summer sea haze. Against a bluish mountain backdrop the outlines of buildings sharpened slowly as we drew nearer Europe�s most mysterious country. For long Albania had been a totalitarian state and, before that, the fiefdom of the shadowy King Zog. Few would choose it for a sun-and-fun holiday, but things are slowly changing. As we juddered towards Saranda, Albania�s southerly resort-port, a rash of blockhouses came into focus, scattered across the mountainside. Closer in, they looked like Iron Curtain tenements but as the haze thinned they revealed themselves as the shells of new holiday hotels and apartments, almost all of them only part-built.

Living in Europe There's No Place I'd Rather be - For many Americans the best fringe benefit of a relocation to Europe is the opportunity for accessible travel through a continent with incredible cultural diversity. Of course, there are the destinations that anyone on a two-to-three year residency will have on their "must see" list, but few people will return to the US without some village, region, resort or city occupying a special place in their recollections of traveling through Europe. Those who stay a little longer often have the chance to range a bit farther and perhaps to form a long-term bond with a particular place. Clare Sievers asked six prominent US citizens resident in Europe to share their thoughts on a favorite holiday destination.

Barge Shopping In Europe - The second-most frequently asked question after �Why did you do this?� is �How did you do this?� After thirty years in the computer software industry, we needed to try something different. When we took a barge piloting course with Roger Van Dyken in France, my husband Paul and I had come back with the dream of owning a barge and living in Europe at least half of the year. The timing was right for us personally. Paul�s two children were both in their thirties and on their own. We no longer had aging parents or relatives to take care of and we were still young enough and healthy enough to handle the physical aspects of a large boat. Methodically we wrote up spreadsheets and tested the validity of our financial premise: if we sold our house, our two cars and most of our furniture, and took along a few paying passengers on the barge, we could buy a barge and make ends meet until we reached an official retirement age.

Roving Capitalist Shares His Secrets of Uncovering Gold Mines - Emerging market run-ups are being fueled by the trillions of dollars trying to find a temporary home. When that home starts growing mold, the trillions will pack up and head back to civilization (provided capital controls don�t stop them at the border). We have a long list of solid companies with solid management and sound business models that we are watching while we wait for the right opportunity to buy. If we recommend something along the way, it�s because a particular company or security satisfies our comfort level. But right now so few do that we are buying gold and real estate and husbanding cash for the big opportunity. Remember that the key to real success is to be bold when others are timid and timid when others are bold. Today, as we raise our field glasses to survey the investment and speculative battlefield, our helmets are pulled down low and our knees are trembling. We�re not just timid but downright cowardly. Our only boast is that we have the courage to admit it.

Beware the Swinging Pendulum: Understanding Inflection Points - As global speculators and investors looking to grow and protect our wealth, we are constantly on the look out for shifts in the social, geopolitical and economic landscape. As members of the Without Borders community understand, we have recently entered a period of change that will prove as significant as the end of the Cold War. This seismic shift is one of four central themes we expect to influence every aspect of your and our lives over the next decade or more. We call this shift the rise of the Politiconomy: the hostile merger of politics and economics. In the western world, there was once a clear distinction between politics and economics. During the cold war if politicians were to even hint at state intervention in the economy they were branded ¨pinko¨ and their career ended shortly thereafter.
