Expat Journey
*We’re Maureen and Jeremy—American expats living in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, with our two tuxedo cats, Damon & Pythias.
We’ve spent the last few years exploring what life looks like outside the U.S. We’ve dipped into Mexico and Ecuador before deciding Latin American culture doesn't work for us. In 2024, we made the move to Bulgaria, and so far, it’s been part culture shock, part paperwork maze, and part “WTF?” But it's never dull!
I (Maureen) started this channel for 2 reasons:
1. We couldn’t find the kind of honest, nuanced info we wanted when we were exploring expat life in Bulgaria ourselves.
2. I know we’re not the only ones trying to figure out how to live abroad without losing our minds.
What I talk about:
*What it’s like to live in Bulgaria as an American
*How to navigate the logistics of moving overseas
*The cultural differences between Bulgaria and the U.S.
*Expat life with a spouse (and two cats)
*What everyday life abroad actually looks like
*Financial aspects
I’m Starting to Question Bulgaria… Seriously
