We are a middle aged couple and have spent most of our life living and working in the UK. We have four amazing children who have now grown up and left home, we always encouraged them to travel and follow their dreams, as the world is the best place to learn about life. We also love travel and have been to several different countries, we love to learn about different cultures and lifestyles.
A couple of years ago we decided to move to Bulgaria to experience a new way of living. We live in a small village, mainly surrounded by Bulgarian neighbours who are very friendly and have made us feel welcome, we keep chickens and grow vegetables and herbs. Our family have been out to visit many times.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone should be treated with respect, treat others as you would expect to be treated yourself.

You are never to old to learn, learn something new every day.

A smile goes a long way whatever language you speak or country you are in!

Life is an adventure live it!!!!
