When Quentin Billon and Alan Huet, two Bretons eager for adventures and discoveries, cross paths, an instant chemistry is born. Their shared love for travel leads them to explore the lands of the Balkans, but it is in Albania that their passion reaches its peak. Fascinated by the cultural richness, natural diversity, and warm hospitality of the Albanians, they decide to found Breathe in Travel, an agency that aims to be the bridge between travelers and the very essence of Albania.<\/p>\n
