Unpublished documentary in Euronews Albania investigates the phenomenon of \u201ccall girls\u201d and brings the confession of a 28-year-old Albanian escort.<\/p>\n
\u201cAround 7 years ago, when I was 21, I started to realize that I enjoyed shopping, but an Albanian salary wasn\u2019t enough and I couldn\u2019t buy what I wanted. That\u2019s why, the only way I could make all my wishes come true was to sell my body,\u201d \u2013 said the escort, who wished to remain anonymous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The young woman admits that she chose this profession after seeing how much money her friends were making while working as escorts.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy friend was involved in something like this and she became an example for my younger self, who wished to had a better financial status. My first clients were found through my friend,\u201d \u2013 she states.<\/p>\n
Through her clients, the young woman expanded her network. In the beginning, she only dealt with Albanians but after with foreigners as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe provide our services in different locations. I\u2019ve also had to see them in my own home, when they were repeated clients. I would use my car or a taxi cab and after I ask them for gas money,\u201d \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n
With time the cab drivers would become mediators between the girls and possible clients. This is especially common with foreigners coming as tourists, whose contacts can also be found near hotels.<\/p>\n
\u201cClients are from all different walks of life. Our best bet is foreign businessmen, who request a companion and are far from their families. They are usually Italian businessmen, who come here to invest.\u201d \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n
Escorts definitely have a much higher fee than regular working girls that are found in the streets.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt varies, but in the beginning I would get 100 euros. After 2 years, in 2016 I started to make some personal investments in my face and my body and I raised the price,\u201d \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis way the fee become 200 euros for 2 hours. Whereas for those that want an actual companion that they like to show around, within the country, my fee is 500 euros,\u201d- says the young escort.<\/p>\n
This young woman works independently and finds her own clients, which has resulted in some clients often abusing her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been times when I\u2019ve been cheated.\u00a0 There was the case of the 23-year-old, who got drunk and abused me. Another time a client hit me in the head with a phone,\u201d \u2013 she says.<\/p>\n
At the end of this interview our guest said that this is a philosophy of life for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere in Albania, you can\u2019t live a good life any other way,\u201d\u2013 the escort concluded her confession for Unpublished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
