Albania

Mountains near Dukat

Jay’s main focus overseas is Albania.

We are trying to set up best practice examples of more sustainable tourism and eco-tourism that supports local traditions and livelihoods.

We have several ventures in Albania but we are now actively seeking volunteers for projects based in Leskovik from early May 2023.
