Why Does Voldemort Keep Returning to Albania?

QuoteSource
"I remember only forcing myself, sleeplessly, endlessly, second by second to exist. ... I settled in a faraway place, in a forest, and I waited. ... Surely, one of my faithful Death Eaters would try and find me ... one of them would come and perform the magic I could not, to restore me to a body ... but I waited in vain. ..."
...
"Then ... four years ago ... the means for my return seemed assured. A wizard - young, foolish and gullible - wandered acrosss my path in the forest I had made my home. Oh, he seemed the very chance I had been dreaming of ... for he was a teacher at Dumbledore's school... he was easy to bend to my will ... he brought me back to this country, and after a while, I took possession of his body... But my plan failed. I did not manage to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.
...
"I returned to my hiding place far away..."

PONDER THIS
"I returned to my hiding place far away, and I will not pretend to you that I didn't then fear that I might never regain my powers. ... Yes, that was perhaps my darkest hour ... I could not hope that I would be sent another wizard to possess ... "Book 4, Page 654
