We are an American family living in Europe. My wife and I are teachers currently living and teaching in Tirana, Albania. We have two older children. Hobbes, who lives in Los Angeles and almost never travels with us. And Zoey, who studies in Montpellier, France and so often does get to travel with us. We are simple, easy going and don’t smoke or like to party.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighborhood is one of the most popular spots in Tirana. We live only a few minutes from Sheshi Wilson, a major landmark. The popular area of Blloku is just 5 minutes in one direction, the area of Komuna e Parisit is 5 minutes the opposite direction and the big lake is only 5 minutes in yet another direction. We are literally on the edge of all parts of the city. You can also be downtown in about a 20 minute walk. Plus, two major bus stops are right by our apartment.
Finally, you can be to the ocean in less than an hour.
