Kelly McCoy

Kelly moved to Durres, Albania in 2024 for one simple reason: it’s the fastest country for Americans to move to. She found Albania to be beautiful, rich in history, friendly to Americans and extremely affordable. She left her corporate job working for a health insurance company that was too big and too corporate for her liking. She is now freelancing and searching for a role that gives her balance, while helping others, while living on savings.

Having very recently immigrated to Albania with her large (restricted breed) dog and cat, she can easily provide recommendations based on lived experience. She can assist with finding a place to stay or even arrange transport from the airport. She can assist with what you need to take care of before you leave the states, and what you’re going to need once you’re in Albania. She can even help you get acclimated to the country with the various expat groups in major cities. If you settle on Durrës, she can introduce you to the local groups, show you the best places to eat and even teach you how to take the bus to anywhere you need to go.

With the uncertainty in the U.S. right now, many people are looking for a quick way out. Albania offers that quick out with their 1 year tourist visa for Americans. This reduces the stress of committing to a country, buying property to gain residency, or doing the “Schengen Shuffle” every 90 days. Albania can be a quick and easy way to start your new life in Europe. Book a call with Kelly today to see if Albania is the right choice for you!
