Hi :-)- my husband has a new career working from home and a dream of living a slower life. We currently live overseas and are not wanting to go back to the uk as many people seem to be, we have seen some beautiful rural properties however I want to know anyone's experience of schooling and costing for private education. My children are 5 and 4 at the moment. Any Advice and opinions would be very much appreciated. Also if anyone wants to tell me and dos and don't and areas to Avoid would also be nice :-) thanks all in advance.

Hi, probably I can help with couple of advises. I am Bulgarian living in US for the last 30 years bur still visiting and have relatives there. I am open to the World and like to go and live for 3-6 months in a different country but my preferences are Italy and other Mediterranean countries. I have a niece in Bulgaria, she is a teacher in a school for English speaking kids in Sofia. She should know much better about schools etc. , have a friend, retired English teacher, also., and I will tell you my personal opinion about living in Bulgaria. My niece name is Mira, and the email address is [email protected], or Skype is mira.traichev. I will mail her that you have her address and you can contact her. And again for the little picturesque Bulgaria, - 1,) spend first just couple of months to see overall the life. 2.) have a car to drive around but be careful - roads are no good, police is corrupt, NEVER stop on the road (there are cases of gypsies robberies!), I don't mean to scare you but this is a reality!, 3.) I will recommend Veliko Tarnovo, since is a small clean university town, my brother still lives there, Sofia is larger but pretty Oriental city. So, good Luck and we can stay in touch if you need more info, Best, Gina, You can find me on www.e-travelBG.com, or [email protected]
