"I currently live in Albania and work in the education field. I am making plans to retire in the next year or so and I want to live abroad indefinitely. I'm still thinking about which town to settle in, or whether I should just rent something for a year, leave for 3 months and rent another place when I come back, etc. I enjoy biking and prefer to live somewhere that is safe where I can ride a bike regularly. I also like to hike, walk, and sing karaoke. I would really love to connect with a writing group, as well. I am thinking about Shkoder, Korce, and Durres as potential places to live because they are less expensive than Tirana. However, I need a decent quality of life, too, and be able to make friends." - Cassan
