Skerdi Troksi
Hey! I’m Skerd Troksi, 19 years old and currently diving into my first year at the Faculty of Law. When I’m not studying, you’ll find me hosting travelers through Airbnb or out exploring Albania as a tour guide. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and showing off the best parts of my country — from historic towns to secret spots only locals know. Guiding tours is more than just a job for me — it’s a chance to connect, have fun, and help others fall in love with Albania, just like I have.

Whether you're exploring ancient ruins, sipping coffee in a mountain village, or sharing laughs on the coast, Zeni makes you feel like you're travelling with a friend — not a company.

XhuljanoXhafaj
As a fine arts enthusiast, I have always been passionate about exploring the world of art. I am constantly seeking new ways to express my creative side and share it with others. However, I found that my inspiration was often limited by my immediate surroundings. That all changed when I discovered the world of tourism. Through travelling to new places and experiencing different cultures, I found that my artistic soul was reawakened and inspired in ways that I never thought possible.
