In 2006 I moved to Bulgaria. It was the start of one hell of an adventure, some of the worst times and some of the best of my life (so far).

For the last 14 years this website has chronicled my journey and experiences, and provided advice for anyone looking to buy and invest in Bulgarian property.

But now its a new chapter of my life and time for a bit of a change to the website.

I made the big leap to move to a different country, after visiting Bulgaria many times over the course of two years. I lived there permanently for around 2 years before deciding I needed to get out and so I headed for France in 2009. 

I ended up buying an apartment in France and running a property management business in the Alps, spending winters in France and summers in Bulgaria.

Then in 2013 I decided to leave France and purchase a place in Austria for winters and Bulgaria for summers. After a turbulent couple of years in 2016 I settled once again back in Bulgaria. In 2020 I moved back to the UK and started selling off all my Bulgarian properties. I now just have two plots of land for sale. 

But never one to do things by halves, and guessing I would need a bolt hole in the sun, given the wet cold English weather, in late 2020, I purchased 20,000sqm on the side of a mountain, in southern Spain.

Here, with the help of friends, I will build an off-grid eco house.

You’ll still find details about different regions of Bulgaria and the blog has interesting articles on places to visit.

And you can read my full story here and see the properties I bought and sold and built.
