Illegal in the U.S.—Totally Normal in Bulgaria (And Vice Versa)

What’ll get you arrested in Bulgaria but barely raise an eyebrow in the US?

In this video, I dive into the surprising legal and cultural flip-flops between the United States and Bulgaria—where I now live as an American expat. From weed and alcohol laws, to sex work, abortion access, and even whether you’re allowed to walk around without ID… let’s just say, “freedom” means something very different depending on where you are.

Whether you’re thinking about moving abroad, already living overseas, or just curious how other countries handle controversial laws—you’ll want to see this. Spoiler: Bulgaria is a lot more relaxed in some ways… and way stricter in others.

🛂 Topics Covered:
• Weed vs alcohol laws
• Prostitution legality
• Abortion access
• Gun ownership differences
• Mandatory ID laws
• Criminal defamation (yes, seriously)
• Driving rules that will surprise you
