The crime level in villages is small compared to UK levels, especially if you live here full time. Maybe a bit of theft but that's about it. The winters can be harsh, but can be overcome with a little planning beforehand. I am lucky in that I don't have to work, and the 2 of us live on my pension. Before coming over on a viewing trip I will strongly suggest that you do as much homework as you can on Bulgaria Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120425757145578048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440648666454011295.post-6456085259007943762013-04-08T15:43:52.985+03:002013-04-08T15:43:52.985+03:00Hi Chris

They are a wealth of information, but beware of the bitching and back biting. One of the better forums is Brits In Bulgaria and this link is to a facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups/368154889900485/<br /><br />In that price range you are looking more at a village house, rather than something in a town. Materials are cheaper here but transport costs can be high. Many people amongst the ExPats prefer to employ fellow Brits, but it can be a bit of a minefield. As to not speaking the language I am no where near fluent, but the locals do like the fact that I make the effort.<br />Electrical items do work but remember to stock up on adaptors. <br />Have you ever been out to Bulgaria before, and which area are you looking to move to?<br />All The Best Chris Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120425757145578048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440648666454011295.post-3803527693943991772013-04-08T12:54:20.880+03:002013-04-08T12:54:20.880+03:00Hi Chris

If my blogs help in anyway then they have served part of their purpose. If you feel that I might be of any other help then please let me know. Bulgaria is a wonderful country, the people are friendly and helpful, but it isn't for everyone. I do enjoy the calmer pace of life here, and certainly wouldn't swap it for the UK lifeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120425757145578048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440648666454011295.post-31883124896345425762013-04-08T02:52:08.714+03:002013-04-08T02:52:08.714+03:00I for one enjoy your blog as I am thinking of move...I for one enjoy your blog as I am thinking of moveing out there this year as I have had enough of uk way of life as am 50 now time to do it before am to old to enjoy it Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
