My name is Arlind, 32 years old, an Albanian friendly guy who will try to make you feel at home and among friends once in his company :) I have studied Civil Engineering and currently work as a Civil Engineer in a Construction Company. My free time is limited, but nonetheless I'll try my best to hang out as much as possible with all CS who will reach out to me.
Due to my work I have visited almost all cities in Albania so I can give you an advice or two regarding every city you wish to visit in my country. The cities I actually know the best are Tirana and Saranda, the city where my family actually lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing by a friend of mine and the idea seemed really appealing to me. Through this site I hope to meet new and interesting travelers from around the world and share knowledge of our cultures and customs.
I want to do this since I too wish one day to travel the world and have some acquaintances of mine in the case I get to visit back someone I will meet on CS.
Every nationality is welcomed to reach on my requests and messages, but honestly I got a weak spot for travelers from The Pacific Islands, which I clearly know I might never actually meet :)
