I remember the very first day I arrived in Albania. I had just come from a hot and crowded place on the Montenegro coast and before me lay the unknown and undiscovered land of Albania. It was August 2009 and it was unexpectedly hot. I had made it all the way from the Netherlands hitchhiking, but it had become really tough the last few days.

I like you and you and you I like to feel the sun burning my skin but not too much I like to be free and to travel like a bird that migrates to the South or may be to Africa I like movies and music that transport me I like dancing, moving, cycling, swimming, eating and hiking I like to discover new places I like to taste new dishes, new fruit, new life, new skies, new persons I like dogs but not the pit-bull type And I do like cats, too.
