Albania: Europe's Best Kept Secret..
Life abroad is learned in the little things, and those little things are different everywhere...
In Albania, you’ll learn to navigate European public transportation by actually using it, building the confidence to figure out trains, buses, and metros wherever you eventually live. You’ll visit local markets and grocery stores, learning how to shop, communicate, and adapt when everyday life doesn’t look the way it did back home. You’ll navigate unfamiliar places, solve problems as they come up, and become comfortable figuring things out on your own, all while learning how those same skills will translate to your future life abroad.
Albania is your classroom, but the world is your destination. The workshops, speakers, and hands-on experiences work together to give you the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to build a life in whichever country you ultimately choose to call home. (And don't worry, we'll help you put your step-by-step plan together as well)
For women serious about leaving the life that no longer feels right and building something bigger somewhere in the world, this is more than a vacation. It’s a chance to have an amazing time while finally figuring out how to make the dream real.

Lisbon: Taking The Leap
There’s a difference between visiting another country and realizing you could actually build a life in one.
Lisbon is your chance to experience that shift. Over several days, you’ll get increasingly comfortable navigating a new city, handling the everyday things that once felt intimidating, and discovering just how capable you are of creating a life outside everything familiar. Alongside the fun, food, culture, and adventure Portugal has to offer, workshops and speakers will help you tackle the bigger questions surrounding your own move, from logistics and finances to finding a home and creating stability once you arrive.
Portugal may become part of your story, or it may simply be where you realize you’re ready to write it somewhere else. What you’re really taking home is the ability to look at an unfamiliar country and think, “I could figure this out.” And with your personalized plan in hand, you’ll know what comes next.
