Thinking of moving abroad or retiring on a budget? In this episode, we explore Shkoder, Albania — a hidden gem for affordable living, adventure, and stunning scenery. From visa requirements and cost of living to rentals, healthcare, and local lifestyle, we cover everything you need to know to make the move confidently.

Join us as we follow Zana’s incredible journey: at 57, she was laid off in San Francisco, couldn’t find work, and watched her savings dwindle. Within six months, she sold her house, her possessions, everything she owned down to three suitcases, and moved to Shkoder to start over — a story of courage, resilience, and reinventing life abroad.

Discover the joys of Shkoder: hiking and bicycling in the mountains, sipping coffee and people-watching by Lake Shkodra, and experiencing one of Europe’s most beautiful and affordable cities.

If you’re looking for how to stretch your retirement income, live abroad cheaply, and experience freedom, this episode is packed with tips, insider insights, and inspiration.
