As a passionate traveler, he has been leading tours in the southern Balkans for 7 years and is certified as a tour guide by the Ministry of Tourism. He loves to be in contact with other people and to pass on the culture and tradition of his country.

The mountains have been part of his life since he was born. Born and raised in the small village of Selce in Northern Albania at the foot of the Accursed Mountains. He has been at home in the mountains since he was born and began to explore this unique landscape at an early age. Since then, his passion for hiking has taken him to the mountains again and again.

Juli was born in 1989 in Tepelena, a mountain town in southern Albania. After completing her political science studies and master’s degree in political theory in Tirana 10 years ago, she returned to nature and the mountains. “On the first ascent I had the feeling that I belonged to the mountain and that something inside of me brought me back here”. After this feeling she looked for and discovered more and more new ways in all Albanian regions and wants to share these ways with all nature lovers and Bagan as a tour guide. “I joined the team of Albatrek because here I have the opportunity to turn my passion into a job and, above all, to show our guests the beauties of nature in Albania”
