Hi I’m Reze
Your Albanian Travel Advisor
It all started with just a girl and her bike. Then came the group, and the group became a journey — into Albania’s mountains, villages, rivers, lakes and coastlines. That journey turned into work in the adventure and rural tourism sector of Albania.
I began my path in tourism back in 2017. Step by step, I shaped the idea of Zabel Albania — and in 2025, I finally gave it life.
Everything you’ll experience with Zabel is rooted in that original idea: one woman’s dream trip across her own country. Now it’s a platform for curated journeys, storytelling, and connection — designed to echo the beauty of Albania through the eyes of locals.
