00:00 Welcome to Bulgaria, a rural paradise that many people are choosing to call home,
00:05 to escape the rat race and return to simple, stress-free living.
00:09 We chose to move to this small village in Bulgaria for its culture,
00:16 history, friendly people and of course the opportunity to buy a property.
00:20 This property has half an acre of land with a gorgeous house and an abundance of fruit trees.
00:29 We have lots of space to grow our own food and plenty of space for our girls to play.
00:34 Can you believe that we bought this property for just over £7,000?
00:40 Take a sneaky peek at the first stages of our renovation with our bedrooms and their transformation.
01:07 We spent a long time removing all of the previous owner's belongings, dust, dirt and plenty of dead rats also.
01:14 We were really desperate to get into the house, get the bedroom sorted because we'd been living in our campervan and travelling for the past seven months.

02:28 If you're sick of the cost of living in the UK then listen to this. Living in Bulgaria is 61%
02:39 cheaper than living in the UK. It is £2,700 per month for a family to live in the UK.
02:47 In Bulgaria we spend on average around £110 per month on our bills and we've just paid
02:54 £270 for two cubic meters of wood to last us. Fuel and our telephone are all very low as well.
03:02 Obviously I am not glorifying the fact that Bulgaria is kind of a tough place to live if
03:09 you're not fit and able. There are lots of things that you need to do, lots of walking, supermarkets
03:14 and shops are quite far away but overall we have found that it is much cheaper to live here and thus
03:22 means we are so much happier and less stressed about money.
