The Highs and Lows of Starting a New Life in Bulgaria
Thinking of starting a new life in Bulgaria? We cover the pros and many cons of expatriate life in Bulgaria!
Published in: Living in Bulgaria - Wed, August 03, 2011
Bulgaria is a funny country – it seems to have an almost equal number of happy and disaffected British expatriates! We’re basing our opinions on the feedback we’ve directly received over the years, and also on what we regularly read on dedicated forums.
You see, Bulgaria was a nation massively over-sold in terms of its appeal prior to and immediately following EU accession, and this resulted in a small wave of immigration - particularly from the UK and Ireland. Many of those who arrived on the back of the positive promotion of the nation’s benefits at the time, (and its particularly cheap property prices), have subsequently fallen out of love with their dream. Possibly because their dream had no basis in reality in the first place.
Others who have taken perhaps a more considered approach to relocation, who have spent time getting to know Bulgaria for themselves before relocation, and who have subsequently made a better informed decision to relocate have seemingly adjusted well to what is an undoubtedly very beautiful country, but one that doesn’t always live up to its hype. The benefit of having two such divided camps of opinion is that we can bring you both the positive and negative aspects of living in Bulgaria.
