Hopefully by this time next year we will be living in our new home in rural BG.
We have had enough of the UK ,had enough of the rat race we live in, the constant daily grind of Get up go to work come home and repeat. Had enough of walking down the street past gangs of feral youths with their hands down their pants so their knobs don't fall off. Had enough of Christmas starting in September and easter eggs in the shops by boxing day.
We just want a more simpler life away from the stresses and commercialism of England while were still young enough to enjoy it.
After a few trips to Bulgaria and lots and lots and lots of miles driving around we have chosen the area of Targovishte to call our new home. Although we liked lots of places this is where we chose. Simply because we had to chose somewhere as we were getting fed up of looking. It has most of what we want.
Its rural
Its not too far from civilisation (Rousse)
Its got national parks everywhere
The locals seem friendly
And not too many Brits compared to other places
We did see some other nice places
 |
| The Krushuna waterfalls |
 |
| Some great little bars |
 |
| Some restaurants with fantastic views |
We are currently in the process of buying a house with 2000 square metres of land which in old money I think is half an acre.
Our plan is to grow our own fruit and veg ,keep chickens possibly a pig non of which we know anything about, live in a country where we don't speak the language and a country that seems to have a slight alcohol issue. What could possibly go wrong ?
Cheers or Nazdrave see you soon.
Hi, just found your blog via 'Move to Bulgaria' blog and I'm looking forward to following your new adventure with your move to Bulgaria.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janice early days yet but we can’t wait. Minty and Pete’s blog is great. We met them on one of our trips they are a really lovely couple.

We are in a similar position about where to choose! Our areas are similar to what yours were.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask who you hire the car through? I need to book ours but have been warned off local ones and told to go for a well known car hire.
Hi Kirstie
ReplyDeleteWe use https://www.zestcarrental.com from Sofia airport , we usually book a Renault Clio and every time we have been they have been new cars. They meet you at the airport and speak English.
There is now a metro station right next to the airport, so in theory you could take a metro train to the central railway station and then get an ordinary train from there. The bad news is that the metro staff are hot on charging you extra for taking a large bag onto the metro! Usually we are so tired that we just want to get into a taxi, but from the airport to Kalotina is a rather expensive taxi journey.
