- 2
Set Tirana as your anchor city and lock your dates
Pick Tirana, Albania as an anchor city and set arrival and departure. 6 nights is the typical overlap window here, so if you can stretch your trip to at least that you widen the match pool meaningfully.
- 3
Filter by trip style
Narrow to solo, couple, backpacker, digital nomad, or luxury. In Tirana the most common pairing is two couples, so leave those match filters open unless you have a strong preference.
- 4
Swipe and match
Spend 5 minutes swiping on traveler cards. Each card shows overlap days, neighborhood overlap, and trip style. Match only with people whose overlap is at least 4 days, otherwise you end up in chat that never converts to a meet-up.

Plan your first shared move in Tirana
Once matched, agree on one thing for the first 48 hours. Splitting the ride-share is the most common opener in Tirana — suggest a shared booking, and the rest of the trip plans itself from there.
