My Tirana

I had an interview today with a journalist from dailytaste.al and she noted that I seem to pick up on small things around Tirana, that many would not notice.

I agreed and it is true, I see beauty in the smallest little things and in the most unexpected places. Often when I am wondering from A to B, I avoid going directly and try to go as off-piste as possible, exploring all of the back streets and hidden parts that the tourists and expats don’t get to see.

This is my Tirana:
