Discovering Bulgaria🌺 My Unexpected Journey to a New Home
A Story of Serendipity and Transformation
Today, I'm diving into the intriguing story of why I chose Bulgaria as my new home. Join me as I recount the journey that led me to buy a house in this unexpected country and embark on a new chapter of my life.
In 2019, my ex-husband and I set out to find property in Ireland as a Plan B amidst the uncertainties that Brexit brought for me as a German citizen living in the UK. Little did we know, a serendipitous twist awaited us. While scouring eBay for fixer-uppers, we stumbled upon a captivating house in Bulgaria. Despite knowing nothing about the country, we were drawn to its rustic charm and large grounds.
As fate would have it, we became the proud owners of this Bulgarian gem for a steal at three and a half thousand euros. The process, though nerve-wracking, unfolded smoothly thanks to diligent research and trustworthy estate agents. Upon arrival in Bulgaria, I was greeted by a language barrier and a different alphabet, yet the warmth of the people and the beauty of the land embraced me. The real magic unfolded when I stepped foot into my new home—an old house with a soul. Despite its age and abandonment, it welcomed me with open arms, leaving me awe-struck and grateful.
A surreal encounter with the spirit of the former owner affirmed my belief in the mystical. While life threw its curveballs, including the loss of my mother and the end of my marriage, Bulgaria emerged as my sanctuary. Surrounded by supportive friends and a newfound sense of purpose, I've decided to turn my property into an eco-community—a haven for like-minded souls seeking solace in nature. Through trials and tribulations, I've learned that hope shines brightest in the darkest of times.
Bulgaria may not have been my first choice, but it's undoubtedly where I belong.
