Hi there
we moved to Bulgaria 10 months ago and haven't regretted a moment. We bought a very cheap renovation project for £1,800 (yes that's right!) in the North Central plains in a good sized village. We now have pigs and are about to get chickens. We are growing most of our fruit and veg this year and have assimilated into the Bulgarian community. I did a little Bulgarian before I arrived via an online resource http://www.surfacelanguages.com/language/Bulgarian.html - terrible interface but really helpful. learning to read the alphabet is really helpful as Bulgarian is pronounced as it is spelled. and generally with emphasis on the first part of the word. To be absolutely honest I have managed fairly well but my partner hasn't. This hasn't stopped him from renovating the house or buying material. Google translate and images on his phone have been useful. I'm starting group Bulgarian lessons tomorrow 90 leva for 9 weeks of hour long lessons. I have also written a blog from the moment we bought (1 year before moving here) right through to now. It is a bit of a birds eye view. If you're interested it's at www.gradishtedream.wordpress.com If you are a Facebooker try the following pages https://www.facebook.com/groups/LivingInBulgaria/ or The Pavlikeni Post https://www.facebook.com/groups/254133881327908/ although this is a local group you'll find lots of useful links to other sites too. If you haven't already try RightMove Bulgaria all agents in all areas advertise properties on here with lots of useful information. Identify your needs and wants before you get here, whether you are the getting away from it all self sufficient type or living a better lifestyle for a smaller budget. There are places suitable for just about anything you want. If I can offer any other advice it would be "do it" it really is wonderful
