Discover Bulgaria Life with Ves & Victoria

We created this blog to help and guide everyone visiting or living in Bulgaria — whether you’re here for a short holiday, planning to buy a property, exploring the idea of moving, or simply curious about life in this fascinating country.

Who This Blog Is For

  • Holidaymakers — beach, ski, hiking, cycling, fishing, eco, culinary, or cultural trips
  • People buying or owning property in Bulgaria
  • Digital nomads and expats working remotely
  • Visitors for business, medical, or wellness travel
  • Anyone already living here or planning to move soon

Who We Are?

We’re Ves (short for Veselin) and Victoria — both born in Bulgaria and living in the UK for the past 25 years. Every year we return to Bulgaria to visit family and friends, but in 2025 we spent a full six months travelling around the country, discovering hidden gems, meeting locals, and exploring what life in modern Bulgaria really looks like.

Over the last two decades, we’ve visited more than 90% of European countries. That perspective taught us that no country is perfect — each has its own beauty and its challenges. Bulgaria is no exception.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Everyday life — bills, healthcare, transport, and education
  • Property and real estate insights
  • Culture, cuisine, and local traditions
  • Travel destinations and hidden spots
  • Dealing with local bureaucracy, laws, and practicalities

Our promise:
We’ll tell it as it is — the good, the bad, and the surprising. No sugar-coating, no bias — just authentic, trustworthy insights from people who know the country inside out and understand what it’s like to live abroad
