lot of questions here. I just answer your first question...

This is probably the number one question I get asked. There are a lot of misconceptions about Albania and its safety. Albania is not full of gangsters, sex traffickers and mafia walking around on the streets. Every country in this world has its share of bad people but in Albania, I haven’t met any yet. I feel safer here than in most western European countries. The tourist crime rate here is low. Albania also has a code of Besa which is the highest ethical code and roughly translates to ‘to keep the promise’. Albanians are very loyal people and if they see tourists they feel it is their duty to keep them safe and feel welcomed. There have been multiple occasions where Albanians have helped me tremendously.
