I moved to Sofia from Denver Colorado in December. My husband is Bulgarian. We met on a train in Peru in 2016 and stayed friends for several years before marrying in 2024. I'm having my car shipped over. It hasn't arrived yet. I'm starting language lessons in February. We have one cat. I've spent my fist weeks here so far going through the Bulgarian cook books I have. I'll be starting my job search soon.

Guess a wee introduction is order? Ah well, here goes...

I spent the last 3 years off and on dreaming about moving to Bulgaria, researching, reading posts, watching all the cool people on Youtube already doing it, channels like Our derelict dream and from Bournemouth to Bulgaria... And more dreaming about moving to Bulgaria.

Despite all the consuming content, it has seemed like a far off distant ambition more than a potential reality.

More recently I saved 3 grand cash and decided it MUST begin this year. So here I am. Trying to get my shizzle together while searching online for a cheap fixer-upper for around 5000 Euros.

Right now, I'm trying to find a trustworthy solicitor to represent my side of a deal (seen all the horror stories already) and a translator who might assist at the notary when the time comes. Hope to find the right people and quotes for their work before entering any contracts.

Hooked up with Lee from our derelict dream, at ideal homes and been in touch with Bulgaria direct for assistance to find a property.

If you have any contacts for the above who you have done amazing deals with, I'd appreciate you big time!

Thanks everyone...

Sean
