Relocating to Bulgaria? (76)
Dragos1: I have traveled and stayed in parts of eastern Europe and also the Philippines and Ireland a bit. I have to say that each experience is likely different. But I have to agree that you should have a backup plan and not be dependent on the person their. It is exciting and can be a wonderful life. It also can be a place where you can end up being owned (literally purchased) as goods. Bulgaria is a larger country than many that are close. For me I have found some very good people while staying in different countries and at the same time i have also found myself using those backup plans to get myself to safety. While in Turkey my sisters were both heavily sought after to be purchased and it was quite disturbing. I am glad they came home safe.
All the best in where ever you go. By the way. I would be giving you the same advice if you were going to the USA or anywhere else.
I was shocked about how your sisters became a sought after commodity in Turkey. Sad.All the best in where ever you go. By the way. I would be giving you the same advice if you were going to the USA or anywhere else.
Nice to see you care enough of people to try and help.

Thinking about relocating to Bulgaria.
I need a lot of space, I love the warm weather, I am tired of crowds, bad food and pollution.
I love grapes and looks they grow everywhere.
My friend from Belgium moved to Bulgaria a few years ago and feels very happy. I had some nice pen pals in Bulgaria many years ago.
I can also read and understand their Cyrillic or whatever it is. :)
And the country is so cheap.
Your advice please. Thank you.

The cheapest country to me right now is Spain. I know a good friend that lives there ( she isn't Spanish). Apparently houses and food are cheap over there ( you can rent a villa full options for 200 euros a month or you can buy a villa full options for roughly about 100,000.00 euros).personally I don't think everywhere in Spain. But if you have friends in Bulgaria ,good luck.
Personally I moved from Huddersfield to Viterbo ( north of Rome in Lazio ) and back to France- Monceaux ( a little village north of Paris ).

It just happen that I have a free (2 rooms and a kitchen with balconies)apartment/flat for rent. So come in here and explore Bulgarian people, culture and the capital Sofia itself.

Have visited Bulgaria a long time ago. People are very nice, men are a little bit pushy. Culture is very similar to what I know, as I grew up in Ukraine. If there was a chance and guaranty to find a decent job, I would move there.

One can find easily a job as a school teacher of English or Russian.
Some logistics/transportation firms also lack stuff of fluent/good speakers of foreign languages, especially for German and French.
Some shops in hotels also need such stuff.
Investors for small start-up are also a sought out thing...

I guess it's going on the usual way. Weak, not-knowing-what-to-do government that will not last even a quarter/half of its turn. :-).

As long as you have your own revenues, you may discover that it is a very good place. I only visited Bulgaria and spent some holidays on their seaside resorts. However I lived 30 years in a neighbourhood country, so still Eastern Europe, even though latin alphabet. People are very friendly and warm, family ties are very important, friendships are highly esteemed. As for climate... well, I loved it. Summers were ssummers, with peaks of 40, winters were winters, with snow aand below 0. Springs are wonderful, not too rainy, 20-25 degrees... :)
It's true that if you expect to live off your salary as an English teacher life turns out to be a misery, teachers can hardly pay their bills. But English is highly sought after, so with private classes you can earn a little bit more.
You will not see drug addicts, though you may see more beggars who are harmeless, even though stressing. In my home country in Eastern Europe, I was never agressed or attacked. There are petty crimes and thieves, the kind that steal your wallet from your purse in the bus. However, it is rare to hear of agressive thieves.
Break a leg, whatever you doo or you decded to do.

Well, iosis. You probably lived in our North-neigboring country of Romania. There a several substantial differences between us:
Firstly here, to the South of this beautiful 500 km long mountain range called "Stara Planina" climate is not so continental/harsh; That means it's more mild - no such temperature extremes, cold Northern winds, etc..
Secondly, people here are Slavic by origin, not Dacians/Tracians like in Romania. And we and the Russians use Cyrillic not Latin alphabet. These 6 more letters serve us so well that we don't need to decorate letters with dots and bars like other Slavic nations do, like the Check/Polish. Furthermore it's easy to learn - what you hear is what you write... See my thread on that topic.
Thirdly, Gipsies here are one fourth of the percentage as compared to Romania.
....
Alo people here don't get that so much money, but things don't cost so much too. Generally, I don't think that you Westerners live better than us. Not to say that you work like horses all life long to end up in solitude in care houses for old/ill people.
And freedoms? You are free to drug yourself :-); And to mass propaganda democracy so as to attract cheap easily over-exploitable amass of immigrants, that as a matter of fact return to their home country in 89 percent within an year. It seems this turned to not enough so started another round of destruction all around...:-).
I also doubt very much you live in democratic countries coz you are not free, simply washed...:-)

Well, iosis, I have understood you perfectly as words speak for themselves. So there is no point of arguing. Furthermore I dare to say I understand your kind of human logic quite well, and I am not laughing at it, maybe just smiling.:-) Next time I propose you to promote s.th. you have seen/experienced, etc. It may be for example s.th. important that we don't know about yr country.

Oh, it seems this Belgian "promoter" of Bulgaria have forgotten another substantial difference. Here we eat bread, where she had a second home - boiled maize/corn flour. :-).
I know Italians eat pizza, spagetti, makaroni, etc.., Chinese rice, etc.
How would you like lutenitsa on a slice of bread? That is a tasty concentrated paste of cooked red peppers, tomatoes and just enough sunflower oil, plus...

serene56: Do people actually relocate there Call me crazy but I can't even get my head around that
What is THERE?You can not talk without knowing one country!Actually i am from TERE

I think that the lady who wrote this thread seems ver confident in her decision to re-locate...or is she?... Why has she asked for advice?... My opinion is that, sometimes, we all feel that if we left our present home/environment everything would be perfect and all life's problems would disappear.... I d'ont think life works that way and we would still carry our worries with us in our head....sometimes re-locating will only compound problems..."green are the hills far away" is an old saying but not one that always works out for the best.....wishing her loads of luck anyway...

Well, it is different for everyone, depends what expectations one has. I have a lot of British friends living in Bulgaria, most of them relocated from the Black sea to inland, which is better if you want a quiet life. Do not choose a house in a village in the middle of nothing even if it is the dream house, better be near a small town, trust me. There are a lot of Brits here, unfortunately you get the bad guys too and many like to stay away from their own people. My ex (from Leeds) says he will never go back to UK, cause he feels like stranger there. Just make your research carefully and trust your guts.
PS Can you get us a big bag of Yorkshire tea when you come hahaha...
