NICE TO MEET YOU
We're Sam & Spencer
We sold it all and left the USA. It took us less than 60 days from the time we made our decision to radically transform our lives and move to Albania, a country we'd never visited before. We sold our house, our cars and virtually all of our stuff.
We landed in Albania with 4 checked bags, 2 carry-ons and our 10 year old cat Arrow. Welcome to Smile Abroad, our lifestyle brand - our mission is to empower and support other aspiring expats to move abroad too.
