Hi all, We are new to the forum, looking to find a home in BG. Don’t know an awful lot about the different regions but research so far is leading us to rural south east - outside of Plovdiv and Stara Zagora and south and east from there. However we would really like to get some first hand experiences and recommendations, or at least a few pros and cons from people who are already there. Be good to hear from a few folk who have some experience of the country. Cathy x

@MeAndHim聽 We live near the聽 Aleksandr Stambolijski (袗谢械泻褋邪薪写褗褉小褌邪屑斜芯谢懈泄褋泻懈) Dam. Fishing, swimming, boating etc is allowed in the dam. Our village is Mladen. Great Mayor and lovely locals who welcomed us. We do our shopping in Sevlievo (19 kms ) and sometimes we go to Veliko Tarnovo or Gabrovo.聽 Village bus runs 3 times a day to Sevlievo, and buses run to VT, Sofia, Gabrovo and other bigger centres. We're half an hour's drive from Pavlekeni, where you can get a train to Sofia - great trip, through stunning scenery.聽 We're kinda in the northern middle area of Bulgaria. Very pretty and there are heap of small villages around here. Some still have affordable, fixer-upper houses for a decent price. We're from Australia and love it here.

Wow that's quite a move in miles that's for sure .. sounds a bit like the iskar river/lake up in the Rila mountains .. I expect there are also many restaurants on the lake also.

How long have you been in BG .

We were聽 due to move聽 in August but delayed awaiting pension letter for the residence permit .
