Don't say you weren't warned.. by JimJ

There's an elephant in the room when it comes to people upping sticks and blithely heading to their new Shangri-la in Bulgaria, and I wonder just how much thought people have given to exactly what they might be letting themselves in for.There's an ...

@JimJ I get your point but yeh I've been speaking to people about all manner of things, mainly hotel staff in the cities, trains, taxi drivers ect. Still a lot to learn, but don't believe the news any more than 20%. There's always an agenda behind ... Read More

I just think there's too many perspectives and convolution for it to matter. All government lies, they all have agendas and pump propaganda. In every nation really.I believe what I see, and that is 1 thing in Bulgaria. A nation of hardworking people ... Read More

@JimJ - This is a very interesting post Jim. I personally "put off" buying in BG for 2 years upon learning NATO were building the largest military base in Europe in Romania. Held stuck with the thought if the Ukraine War was to spill over, Bulgaria ... Read More

@manager85 Pmsl🤣, yeh exactly right. Couple years ago I did 6 months hiking and camping round the lake district. The difference in BG is the sheer scale and wildlife factor, they have a lot of what Britian has lost. If you enjoy Cumbria, the ... Read More

@VillageLife Unfortunately I was so busy mooching around the country, then back and forth through Yambol the most I got to see there was Kaufland and Praktiker 🤣For a city the people were very friendly, made some good friends along the way. ... Read More

@manager85Jane is spot on with areas and info. I'm a fellow Manc' totally get the need to be away from the drab n dull of the city suburbs. Dobrich and midsize towns just outside Burgas might be more suitable for what you're looking for. As for ... Read More

@manager85Hi Claire, while there is some people buying Land, that's a pressure sales tactic to get money or a fast decision from you. There's empty houses everywhere in BG. It's best to scoop the kids up for a holiday and have a wee look tbh. As for ... Read More

Wolves in the garden WTAF? 🤯 by S25 - Sean

Forgive me for saying this but I almost soiled my pants, while taking a pee near a tree by the front gate. 10 minutes prior, heard howling off on the fields towards the mountains, probably a quarter of a mile away. As ya do, thought nothing about ...

@JimJ - Thanks for the heads up will have to check them out. Can imagine ferral dogs dogs in a pack to be unnerving. I was savaged by a neighbors German Shepard a couple years back and that wasn't the best experience, can only imagine a pack of 4-5 ... Read More
