Meet Ed

Why should travelers choose you above other local in-destination experts?

I've been exploring Albania for a decade now (I'm resident), and have been lucky enough to explore some of its wildest regions. Albania is changing all too rapidly, so being on the ground and having up-to-date knowledge is vital for designing tours.


What type of traveler appreciates your adventures?

Our typical client is young-at-heart - we've had 80-year-olds with teenage souls, and they had a great time. If you think you'd enjoy a raki in a village in the middle of nowhere, then we think you'll enjoy travelling with us.


What is one of your favorite experiences which you’ve been able to build for guests?

We put together a gastronomic tour in Northern Albania for a group of Dutch guys, and it was a complete blast. Though we still don't know how they managed to eat (and drink) so much in four days.


Share the one travel experience that you will never forget

Back in the mid 00s, I was lucky enough to visit New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, where I went "shark-calling". I didn't catch anything, but the whole experience was extraordinary. The PNG Highlands were pretty incredible, too.
