I love you guys ❤I’m Bulgarian living in the Uk the last 23 years and admire your courage to do what you’ve done cause it’s not easy in Bulgaria specially in northern Bulgaria 😮Keep it up
Aww sending you loads of love! Thanks for watching and for such a kind comment 🙂❤️❤️❤️
Bulgaria is SOOOO LUCKY! They're getting the absolute best of the Brits! Lovely, loving, creative, family-loving, deeply connected to the lands and animals... I could go on and on! Heaven on earth. P.S. I can't believe they have a chicken swing. LOOOVE!
Haha how awesome is their place?? We had the BEST time and I hope we can inspire some people to book a stay at their lovely cottage. Their energy is infectious and they make you feel like family members. Thanks for another kind comment ☺️❤️❤️❤️
We are on our way to BG to explore and house hunt. Just booked a week at Serendipity homestead. Their holiday cottage looks wonderful.
Got to agree with what another person wrote. I used to be a lipbalm fiend. Always had chapped lips. Decided to stop using it and I hardly ever get chapped lips now. Usually only happens if I have been in a house with central heating.
Hope all is going well with the visa. 🤞🙏
When I lived in Menorca I stopped using it but I'm addicted here 😂
The visa is going... 🙈 We'll be doing another video shortly to reveal everything and why it's been such a nightmare.
Looking forward to meeting you❤
That's interesting, maybe I should stop applying it then.
i have lived In BG for 13 years, I wish you good luck. Once you move past 3 years you stop being on holiday and start to live.
It certainly hasn't felt like a holiday for us these past 6 months haha but I get what you mean!
How lucky are you to find and live in this magical place BULGARIA
Very lucky! 😁🍀❤️🙏🌟🇧🇬
Your lucky to have good neighbours like John and Julianne' I ve never had good neighbours in my life!
You looks happy. Great.
Great family ❤
Hi from Troyan, great set up love the Rakia connecting people tee shirt
Yes the t-shirt is fantastic! 🤩
We can not Thank you enough for this boost for our little Holiday Cottage, We thoroughly enjoyed your company and you are most welcome here anytime!!!! Xxxc
Aw thanks guys 😊 We loved visiting and looking forward to coming back soon ❤️❤️❤️
@@the_phoenixproject 💚
Hey guys,Ive watch your almost all episodes,I am happy to see there are family like you enjoying our beautifull nature in Bulgaria.You are settled near me,Ruse,there is a lot to see in Bulgaria.Again I am very happy for you
Awww thank you neighbour!! Благодаря ти приятел 💕☺️
That was a fabulous video! Thank u so much! What lovely people!!😊
Thank you! 😌❤️❤️❤️
I can recommend Krushuna waterfalls, near Hotnitsa (Крушунски водопади). Язовир Липник is also good for fishing.
Благодаря ти много приятел! ☺️💕🙏
It's so relaxing to watch your videos! Amazing! What is the name of the lake and the fall you guys were talking about?
Прекрасни сте! ❤
Здрасти! It is called Ксилифор (I'm sure I pronounce it wrong). It's such a beautiful place near VT! 😁😍
@@the_phoenixproject It's totally right actually! Thank you so much! 🤗
The rental cottage really feels like a mix of bulgarian and english style of cottage. The owners really made it their own while keeping the original. I will say I think this life style just might be the future of Europe. Using all your savings and moving to spend your pension in another more affordable (and warmer)for housing country. While grocery prices are the same whats the point of higher salary and pension when it all goes to the bank to pay off mortgage that if does not work out you lose everything and lasts a lifetime. Why lose sleep over debt when you can own a land in another country for much less right away.Julianne and John are very admirable. Hope things out for you like it did for them they are very lovely people.
Yes, we agree! Better to enjoy your money and land that squander everything on a mortgage each month ❤️🇧🇬✨
Absolutely fabulous achievement ❤ Special regards from one bulgarian in Birmingham 😊 The T-shirt is spot on ❤ Sunny Bulgaria with lovely English people 😊😊
Thank you! Yes John's t-shirt is fantastic 😆🌟
I moved over here to do the same thing. Was hoping to have kept my job in the UK, long story short that didn't happen. Started rescuing and fostering dogs, due to funds and falling in love when I volunteer at the dog shelter this will be my new pathway. Still get to rent out my annex but would have loved an hands on experience for myself and my guests. Big learning curve moving here, been prepping the garden for veggies for the 1st time ever. Fingers crossed we get to eat from the garden this year. Thank God for TH-cam and all the good advice and tips. All the best.
Good luck and all the best with your adventures! 😊❤️
Super familiy Badete jivi I zdravi❤❤❤
Thank you 😊🙏
Sat here with my blankie and central heating on while watching you tell us how beautiful and sunny and warm it is there 😭🤬🤣😂 Haha then the weather changed. I remember a few times when we lived there we had sunshine/warmth like you had one day, and then the next day we had a full blanket of snow!
Sorry about the issues with the visa process, hope you get it sorted in the end.
Yes it's madness! It's getting there. Just very awkward 😞
Absolutely brilliant
Thank you! ☺️
Thanks Mum❤❤❤
Loving the UK electrical sockets 🤫
Game changer!
We actually get guests that complain😂😂😂
@@the_phoenixprojectAre they legal though? I know we can't install Euro sockets in the UK.
@@TheGramophoneGirl Yes as far as I'm aware. Things are a bit different in Bulgaria.
Glad you got to take a little break. It's kind of weird that even though this is the life we want, it's still nice to get away for an afternoon :)
We certainly don't need a break from renovating, it's more like a break from the stress of work, visas, sleepless nights and chaos caused by kids 🙈 And of course, someone else to make the coffee! You guys would love it at Serendipity, they are wonderful people with a lovely place ❤️
Perfect❤
I love the lip balm idea. If you have any small glass cosmetic containers, you can sterilize them to put it in. Thanks for another great video. ❤
Such an interesting story and lovely couple indeed. Why did you have issues with your visa? Hopefully you will get there. There is an old Bulgarian saying: капка по капка - вир, вир по вир - язовир - kapka po kapka vir, vir po vir yazovir. meaning that drop by drop turn into a pool and a pool turns into a dam. In other words it takes an effort in life to achieve our goals even with small passes. Greetings from Sofia, the weather was crazy here too, it was 19ºC and suddenly -2ºC. Even Viitosha mounrain was covered in light snow.
We weren't treated very kindly by the person dealing with our visa/residency. It has made us both sick with stress 😞
@@the_phoenixproject oh no that's awful, so sorry to hear that.
Lovely video xx
Thanks Cathy! 🙂❤️❤️❤️
Hi loved the video - which village did you go to with the children as I have looked on the map and don’t think I’m spelling it correctly. Thanks
Palamartsa (Паламарца)
1:54 страхотна тениска !!
Съгласен съм! 😆💪❤️
@@the_phoenixproject pretty sure it's Laura who answers the comments, so for females the variant is съгласна съм....
@@victoriabezfamilii965 Ah ok thanks Victoria 🙈 I always make this mistake!! I appreciate the correction!! ☺️🙏💕
Laura the pig fat makes tallow which is good but ….. the more you put lip balm on the dryer your lips will be ‘cos it stops the natural production of oils in the lips. Try to not put anything on for a while (difficult I know) but it works. Your lips will recover and you won’t need the gunk ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
I try but it is one of my only vices 😂 I will do my best haha!
Makes sense really, Darren never gets chapped lips and I ask if they get dry which he says no, I always get them and apply it all the time!
WHO told you that our lips produce oil??? Absolutely not true! Lips do not have oil glands! Sorry--but you are the 1st person I've ever heard of that thought "lips have oil glands"!
"Myth #1: Lips don’t need any lip care at all
This myth is easy to disprove as the lips do not have any sebaceous or sweat glands of their own. This means they cannot produce their own protective oil. Lip care protects the lips against environmental influences such as cold and heat, while providing moisture. When you apply lip care, you prevent your lips from drying out, leaving them feeling fresh and smooth and looking great too. "
@@NewBulgarians No, it doesn't make sense! The information you read from Linda (above) is wrong. Ridiculously wrong. Google it! Lips do NOT produce any natural oils--because--- there are NO oil glands (or sweat glands) in the lips.
Therefore nothing can interfere with "oil production" of the lips because there are no oil glands to make oil production! So yes...lips are going to dry out from wind, weather, etc.. and WILL get chapped. And WILL need help. It's a good thing we don't have oil glands in the lips. Teenagers could then get pimples all over their lips as well as the rest of their face. Oily lips--what yucky thought.
Hey Guys ,,,when you drove to Bulgaria how did you keep Internet access before you bought a contract over there ? We're driving across in June ? Thanks George & Debbie.
We just used our hotspots on our phones! O2 have free roaming in Europe for quite a while so it was easy and the signal was quite good. We also used WiFi at campsites etc. Then we chose A1 WiFi and SIM cards when we got here ❤️
Perfect,where is this to find guest house?
Palamartsa! Their booking link is in the description 😊
Oh dear , what happened with the residency? Any tips? We are going through the process too.Thanks.
It is going through, but we haven't been treated very fairly or kindly during the process. My recommendation is to use Bulgarian Property Experts or Tanya Dimitrova for the process.
How do you mean fairly ? What's the pitfalls too look out for?
Do other agents do things differently for visa and residency? What should we look out for. Thanks.
@@duncan4504 I think just be aware of what the charges are for everything and how long the agent takes to do things. Everything takes a ridiculously long time here but sometimes it's not necessarily a Bulgarian bureaucratic issue, it's more that the agent has taken your money and doesn't really care after that point. Hard to find people you can trust out here to be honest! That's why I've written an ebook with a list of trusted contacts ❤️
We're lucky then and haven't had any disappointments like that on our journey. tough sometimes, a few winter power cuts but generally OK. Our agent has been fantastic . You guys must be a month or so ahead of us in this residency stuff .When do you get your residency cards ? Does it take long?
Did you need a drone license for bulgaria
You need a drone license to fly one anywhere.
The next 5 days the weather will reach 30 degrees
Yes it's going to be marvellous!
Where exactly is that house in front of the river ?
Opposite our house! 🏡❤️ The farmers own it but nobody lives there. They just use the land for tomatoes 🍅
What is the cost of living like? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Infinitely lower than the UK. Only one of us has to work.
RAKIA conecting people 😂😂😂
ah you should absolutely buy the pig fat
I just can't do it 😅🙈
what you working in Bulgaria how you paid the bils
I work as an English teacher and content writer 🤓📖
Hello ma'am. I am from Nepal and I want to come there. Please provide some information about the visa process.
