Hi I'm Uvejs. I am 24 years old and currently study Food Innovation and Product Design. During summer vacations, I am in my hometown Shkodër, Albania where I was born and have lived in for most of my life. Some years ago I caught "the travel bug" and I have been trying to explore as much as possible. After taking part in similar walking tours in major European hotspots like Prague and Budapest, I thought why not be a guide tour in my amazing city which certainly has a lot to offer for its visitors. I am a beginner guide but equipped with a lot of enthusiasm and willingness to share my love for Shkodër. Feel free to contact me for any questions you have. I would love to help you out.
