Lavdi Zymberi
Meet Lavdi Zymberi, a certified national tourist guide, fusing her wild travel obsession with a heart-pounding devotion to her homeland. Her blog, Kosovo Girl Travels, isn’t just a read—it’s a front-row seat to her gutsy, globe-hopping saga, armed with a Kosovo passport that’s more battle scar than a golden ticket in a world half-blind to Kosovo’s shine. Born in Gjilan, forged by chapters in Prishtina, Chicago, and Yambio—where she tackled studies and a UN mission—Lavdi’s ready to catapult you into Kosovo’s beating heart. She’s stormed through 56 countries (shoutout to Malta, her latest coup!), defying passport chaos, and now she’s handing you the keys to Kosovo’s magic—Prishtina’s undercover hotspots, the story of the first Albanian-language school, the religious harmony in Ferizaj, and a whole lot more. Off the beaten track, Lavdi has been active in women’s rights, diving deep into gender battles, and initiated a Change.org petition to slap Kosovo—not Serbia—on the map for its cities on Facebook. Her voice is a thunderclap—tune in to travel blogs or local news, where she dishes out epic tales and Kosovo’s roar for recognition. Lavdi, just as her name in Albanian that means Glory, is more than ready to share with you the glory of our country, dripping with stories that stick, and ready to make your Kosovo adventure a total game-changer!
