Shkoder Day 1

Today I started my first day of volunteering at Travelers Hostel in Shkoder, Albania. I will be here for 2 weeks as an event coordinator and helping out around. We are also helping set up a new hostel nearby so that is extremely exciting.

I woke up around 12pm after much needed sleep and I met some of the workers that I will be spending my days with. Everyone has been soooo nice! I then went and got pizza with Amete (a volunteer that I’ll be with the whole time) and Anika (I was her replacement as she was leaving the next day), we found a great restaurant and had a blast!

After we went back and Anika took a nap and Amete and I rode bikes to the other hostel to help paint and work on the room with Enes and xhulio (the owners). We worked for about 2 hours and even got fresh fruit from the trees to snack on.

That evening we went back and played games and hangout for the evening.Read more
