The organizer speaks: English
Kristina, born in Albania, is a journalist with a unique background in history and archaeology, adding depth to her perspective. Having worked in various national and international media outlets, she has honed her skills in storytelling. However, her professional journey takes a distinctive turn as she intertwines her passion for horses with her journalistic pursuits. Kristina`s deep affinity for horses goes beyond a mere interest, it is a lifelong passion that has become a driving force in her endeavors. Recognizing the potential of Albania`s cultural and natural treasures, she has committed herself to building some of the finest horse holidays in the country. Her vision extends beyond tourism, emphasizing the importance of partnerships with horses, the preservation of nature, and support for local communities. In Kristina`s philosophy, a horse represents more than a companion on the trails it symbolizes a partnership rooted in mutual respect and understanding. Her commitment to nature protection underscores a belief in sustainable practices, ensuring that the beauty of heritage, culture, and nature is preserved for future generations. Away from the bustling world of journalism and equestrian ventures, Kristina finds solace in her hobbies—reading, travel, horse riding, and writing. These activities not only reflect her diverse interests but also contribute to the well-rounded perspective she brings to her role as a journalist and an advocate for responsible tourism. Kristina Fidhi stands at the intersection of passion, profession, and purpose, weaving together a narrative that celebrates the rich tapestry of Albania`s history, culture, and natural beauty while championing the symbiotic relationship between humans and horses. Her story is one of dedication to sustainable practices, community empowerment, and the enduring connection between people, horses, and the environment.
