Hi-ya. Thought I'd introduce myself..... (36)
shot3743: Hi everybody,
I joined this site some time ago and thought it was about time I introduced myself. My name's David, I'm from the UK and I took early retirement and moved to Bulgaria a year and a half ago, well it'll be 2 years soon. I bought a house in a very picturesque village and I spend all my time and resources renovating it.
I've lived in different places and speak a couple of languages but of course happiest in English! I'm divorced and it's safe to say I've been "around the block" somewhat. Maybe more than once if the truth be told.
Currently I'm learning Bulgarian, which is a good idea if you live here.
Most people here (in my age group) don't speak any English at all, though the young 'uns are getting it at school, along with IT, from what I've been told. So, learning the lingo is a top priority.
There's quite a fair number of Brits in this area and this trend will continue as people like me are attracted by the climate, the low cost of living (as long as you're not on the local economy), and last but not least, the generally very friendly people.
My car is a camper van that I can and do sleep in, so I'm very mobile and plan to scout around the country, when I get the most important things on my house completed - i.e. c.h. and a new bathroom, to name just the top 2 items on my list.
I guess that was it!

Welcome to CS and happy to meet you here. Seems Spain, after being conquerod by british people, next to german and a huge handful of immigrants from everywhere has stopped being that cheap as it used to be.... tell me about, I live here since....well, I learned how to swim on Menorca Island when I was 5.
Kind of ages ago
Zdrasti
Well, I just checked out this thread again and "dead chuffed" by the friendly words! Thanks a lot!
Yeah, the Brits flocked to Spain, attracted by the climate and low prices, but now of course Spain is anything but cheap.
The Brits also re-populated large areas of France, possibly for different reasons.
As far as Bulgaria is concerned, now it's a EU member state, it will over time become the Spain or Florida of Eastern Europe. It's further away of course and the language (Cyrillic alphabet) is a headache at first. But, great weather, generally friendly people, very low cost of living, what more can anyone ask?

Hello, ye, vsichko e dobre,,,
Hi David my names Roger and i kinda got stuck in Switzerland, and hallo to all at cs 
pat123: i so admire what you have done
well I wouldn't have come here if other Brits had not led the way so to speak.
I admire their adventurous spirit.
Also bg is now part of the EU and I wouldn't have come here if that hadn't happened.
But you don't have to go as far as Australia. At some point Serbia and Croatia will be in the EU and their economies will only know one direction - up.
So the whole of eastern Europe will be EU -. maybe even Ukraine as well and Moldova.
