- How and why we chose our village and house in Bulgaria.
As mentioned in the video, my favourite Bulgaria vlogs come from: @outliersbulgaria @the_phoenixproject @frombournemouthtobulgaria @newbeginningsinbulgaria @ourlittlebulgarianadventure @MarkandAnisha
And for videos about our village @BrianSmart

We ALL want to get out of the UK.
❤❤
Lovely clean village . Bet the track to your house is fun in the winter.
In winter we park on the road and walk down 😂
We really enjoyed your video and will be catching up with your others. Thank you for the mention, it's good to know someone else goes at the same speed as us!
Thank you so much for watching! That's made my day.
Супер, много сте готини
I have become a fan of you -girlll -- not so because of cheap houses but of who you are.... as a nice human. You are a really teacher....(love the woman) - this isn't worth dying for...
Just catching up with your videos and looking forward to seeing more!
You're spot on about needing to love a place. Obviously the nature, weather and cheaper cost of living is a big attraction, and when we first arrived we did have a bit of a culture shock. Bulgaria is definitely like Marmite in that respect, but we soon found it very endearing because of the people we met while househunting - they are so warm and friendly and funny too.
Really good advice about choosing a larger populated village which has better amenities especially as dying villages are also likely to have more frequent water and electric issues in our experience.
It feels horrible taking down trees, but they only have a limited lifespan anyway and a little haircut never hurt anyone lol. Lovely to have a walnut forest though - even if on a steep slope!
The stray animal situation is hard to see, and you do need to kind of turn a blind eye, but that is against everything we were brought up to do when it comes to animals so really difficult. To be fair though since we moved there in 2006 there have been some improvements in some areas, it just doesn't happen fast enough for our liking.
Thanks! I have been enjoying your videos too and look forward to seeing more!
Thanks so much :) @@Baku_Bulgaria_Bucharest
Great Tarnovo Pliska & Great Preslav ones were larger than Rome & from these 3 capitals Europe was rulled when Tsardom of Bulgaria was the most powerful state in Europe when England was a colony & Englanders were speaking latin!!!!
Yes, Bulgaria is the oldest nation in Europe, I believe?
Thank you so much for sharing.We just bought our property above Veliko Tarnovo ,and we also are not able to live there full time yet.I am happy to follow your channel now❤ Verry good video.
I will check you out and look forward to seeing your progress!
@ulgaria_Bucharest How easy is it to communicate? Do Bulgarians generally speak English?
@jamesportrais3. In the cities and holidsy resorts they speak English. In the villages, usually they don't, or a few people will know a little. I recommend learning some basics
Hi ya thanks for the mention (I’m Teresa from new beginnings in Bulgaria) 👍
@teresamanley8284 Hi Teresa! Love watching you, Ivan and Dexter doing your thing (we watched those pups from birth and Dex is the one I'd have chosen too!)
Very well presented and very helpful...
Glad it was helpful!
👍👍
I love your nails, and I loved your hair, make it colourful, please. And your accent is nice. Is it a Northern English accent? Waiting forward to footage from your house.....
Thank you! Yes, it's northern. I'm from Lancashire
I am wondering if you could get a visa if you open a small business in Bulgaria. Do you have a good lawyer there? Sorry if I missed the info from the video, it's very early here.
Anyway, welcome to Bulgaria. The region you chose is beautiful and has a lot of ease of access to many interesting places and services. Good luck and enjoy.
A wonderful and thoughtful video. This may seem a weird question but does Amazon deliver to the small villages and if so how long from order to delivery?
No Amazon in BG. You can get stuff delivered to neighbouring countries. But they have Emag which is next day delivery and the same, essentially
@@Baku_Bulgaria_Bucharest thanks. Was just wondering about their global take over. Bulgaria has beautiful countryside.
Just found your site and love your brit humor!🥳
Hiya.. why cant you live there full time?. It looks great..
I don't have anything that qualifies me for a residency visa post-brexit. I couldn't get a job there and I'm not old enough to claim a pension! Three years and counting......
Ooh blimey.. same as me then..
Thanks for the response and good luck ..xxx
@user-xj9tt6bn5n I think there are people you can arrange a visa with but we don't have the money or the inclination so are just waiting!
what village please x
@jeanettebarns1024 It's oresh, svishtov municipality. I'll be showing some houses for sale there next week.
Thank you very much for the video.
Is there home internet in the house? Which village did you choose?
Is it difficult to adapt to Bulgarian cultures?
Did you find Arabs in the village? (Just because I am Arab) :)
Thanks again :)
We live in a village in VT. The Internet in BG is excellent but does go off sometimes. And Arabs.....not personally but all nationalities live in BG and the people are very kind and welcoming
Please no arabs. Western Europe is already ruined by the Arabs. If you can assimilate with Christian culture, you’ll be accepted. Eastern Europe is not that tolerant as the West. People are a lot more into preserving their culture and traditions.
All British people who move to Bulgaria say that they want to learn about the culture, traditions, to learn the language and for some reason most of them move into the Veliko Turnovo area, where most of the Brits go. This is not the only nice area in Bulgaria, believe me I know. But Brits go where the other Brits go, which makes me think that they are not very willing to embrace the culture and traditions as they claim and that they are not willing to mingle with the locals very much. Brits just want to live in Bulgaria but the British way of life together within a British community. I might be wrong, but this is what it looks like to me.
Well, that's not how I feel. I found the areas of Burgas and Yambol full of Brits who wouldn't integrate. There are a fair few British here in VT for sure, but a lot are here BECAUSE they want to integrate. There are 1300 souls in our village, less than 10 are British. Maybe places like Palamartsa where there are lots of Brits, for sure.
It's very normal for people to look for like minded people. That's often the case with everyone moving to another country and it has nothing to do with wanting or not to learn about the culture. We Bulgarians do it as well, although less than others, it's not much different to what the British people do in Bulgaria.
It helps with the initial move, it helps with having some help around in villages that often have just a few houses inhabited 100% of the time.
They all try to learn some Bulgarian, you can see how many respect and enjoy our traditions and incorporate them into their own. Just compare with the Russian immigration who live much more bunched together than the Brits and not only don't learn a single Bulgarian word, but don't participate in any of the Lindal traditions.
I think you are having an unreasonable expectation of what immigrant life is.
Really? You think I have an unreasonable expectation of what immigrant life is. Let me tell you something -you don't know anything about that. Мисля, че приключих с дебата си с теб.
We live in a village near Veliko Tărnovo and have a mix of English and Bulgarian friends. Integration is key to a happy life here.
Your greediness knows no bounds. No BG house for you,sorry.
What on earth are you talking about? Are you commenting on the wrong video? For one thing, I HAVE a house so your grand declaration that I can't have one is moot, and for another where is the greediness? Unless you're calling me fat, which I am.
