Concerns grow for Australian man who has been missing in Albania for more than a month, according to his friends.

The disappearance of a man from Australia, Cameron Twiss, in Albania has caused great emotional distress for those who know him. As the search for him reaches its 39th day, a close friend of Twiss opened up about the situation and how it has affected her.

Twiss, who hails from Burnside in Adelaide's west, went missing on October 13 while on a trek with a tourist group. He had set out at 8am local time to hike a 16-kilometre trail between Valbona and Theth. However, he walked ahead of the group and has not been seen since. According to friends, he was a skilled hiker and it was unusual for him to go missing like this.

Purnima Seiboth, a friend of Twiss, was one of the last people to hear from him before he disappeared. She shared her thoughts on the situation, saying, "It's not a shock, it's more of a feeling of being lost, knowing that he is missing and no one knows anything about it." Seiboth also recalled Twiss's stories of his travels and how he had recently spent time with an Albanian man, making homemade vodka just hours before embarking on the trek. She described the photos of the homemade vodka as "strange-looking."

The trail that Twiss had taken was well-signposted for tourists and his schoolmate Sev had completed it a few months ago. Sev mentioned that the trek would have been suitable for Twiss, who was in good physical shape from his job as a security guard at various pubs. However, despite the preparations and his previous experience, Twiss still went missing.

Twiss's brother had flown to Albania to join the search party with local authorities but has since returned to Adelaide. Sadly, there have been no new leads in the search. The Department of Foreign Affairs is working closely with the Albanian Police and providing support to the Twiss family during this difficult time.

Despite the lack of progress, Seiboth remains hopeful. She said, "I'm hopeful, I'm hopeful." Like many others who know and care for Twiss, Seiboth is holding onto hope that he will be found safe and sound.
