He is the modern kind of a pirate!
He is a full time IT specialist but spends all summer working and sailing through Ionian Sea on one of the sailing boats full of young adventurous tourists. Summer vibes, right? Music on the sea, sea and shots, shots and sun, sun and swimming in the deep ends of our blue coasts. The Albanian summer 2021 taste.. Where can I sign? I’d work for free and be his colleague for the rest of the summer.
Altin is continuously traveling around Albania all year though. His “never missing friend”, his drone, is everywhere with him. You can now see beautiful photos and videos on his Instagram page taken with his drone and inspiring us all to go wander like him too.
Meet Altin Serani, the modern pirate of the Ionian Sea.
