Hi all

I thought I'd introduce myself as I'm coming to Varna with my boyfriend on 12th May with the aim of renting for 4 months+ to see how we get on.

I'm from London and 33, my boyfriend is 26 and from near Preston (although has a muddled accent due to being in London for 7 years).

We're both chilled, really into our music and enjoy eating out, dancing, travel and wildlife. I'm a graphic designer so will be working online, although part of this move is to have a bit of a break and spend time on the things I never have time for back in Blighty.

We've never been to Bulgaria before so it is a bit of a gamble, but we spent 9 months doing rough backpacking around Asia last year so I'm hoping in comparison it shouldn't be too difficult, although I've armed myself with an ebook about surviving Bulgarian culture shock :-)

I hope to be able to meet new people, experience what Bulgarian culture has to offer and enjoy the sun!

You should really enjoy Varna. Bulgaria's seaside capital.
Good luck and please give let us know how you are getting on over there.
I recommend MusicaE as a good indoor live music bar/club (if you like 60/70/80's music), on friday & saturday nights in Varna. It is on the main walk, just before the big entrance to the beach, underneath the cinema. Doesnt get really rocking until after midnight, and a little pricey by Bulgarian standards, though.
Any other questions - feel free to ask

I'm from Blackpool, so I am also happy to describe to your Preston boyfriend what it feels like to win at wembley and play in the Premiership

Hi!

Welcome to Varna!

I am originally from South Africa, been living here 9 years or so now.

Give me a buzz if I can help with anything.

Kind regards,
Luna

The bars and restaurants on the seafront (or `alley' as they like to call it), probably dont open until june. Same goes for the bars on the beach itself.
There is a bar called `sundogs' in the centre of Varna, which is frequented by a few expats (especially june-aug), should you wish to meet up with any Brits.
Please can you keep us informed of your impressions on Varna and how things are going out there.
Good luck.
