Hi there! :) My name is Saimir, and I'm from Saranda. I graduated in Law, but I currently work in tourism as a property manager. Before that, I was a local coordinator for European volunteers (EVS) with an NGO in Tirana. I'm told I'm social and quite open-minded, though if they've misled me, then I might be misleading you too! :D

I began traveling abroad at the start of 2011, and it's been so amazing that I don't want to stop. I enjoy playing football, swimming, and walking. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. I love parties but have a complicated relationship with alcohol - while I don't like it, it seems to like me, so I can't always refuse! I'm fascinated by history and politics and eager to learn more by meeting people from diverse cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CouchSurfing for 13 years now and i have a lot of experiences meeting and hosting people from different countries. I enjoy showing the city to other couchsurfers. I am one of the moderators of group Albania in CS, ex Ambassador of Tirana in CS :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly I hosted people when I was living in Tirana and for the moment I am showing the city to the travelers when i can't host...The beautiful part is that showing to other Couchsurfers the city i vsit places that i didn't visit before like the Old Mosque in the center of Tirana and the National Museum (yea shame on me that i didn't visited them before)I organized and participated in the CS meetings in Tirana for 4 years and have been at the 12th Balkan Mafia Meeting :P (Check Balkan Mafia group... is fun :D )
