About me:
I’m Olga — a long-term expat and remote worker with a bachelor’s degree in Economics & Management. I help EU citizens and non-EU retirees relocate to Bulgaria — from choosing the right city and applying for residency to finding a comfortable rental and registering for taxes.
If you're looking for a lower-tax, lower-stress lifestyle in Europe, Bulgaria might be the right fit.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve lived in Turkey, Portugal, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Georgia, Albania, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. After years of trial and error across continents, my husband and I finally settled in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2024. It offered the right balance: infrastructure, affordability, and long-term stability inside the EU.
If you’re feeling stuck in research mode, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you move forward with confidence.

In this video, I share what life in Sofia, Bulgaria actually feels like at the end of the year, following recent protests in Bulgaria and political changes heading into 2026. Instead of speculation or political analysis, I show daily life on the ground — public transport, cafes, streets, and the general atmosphere in the city center — from a foreigner’s point of view. If you’re researching living in Bulgaria, especially as an expat or someone planning a relocation, this video offers a grounded look beyond headlines and media sensationalism.

I also talk about practical realities of living in Bulgaria, including cost of living trends, safety, immigration rules, and why recent events have had little impact on everyday life for foreigners and visitors. The video covers how protests in Sofia affected — or didn’t affect — daily routines, holidays, travel, and businesses, as well as what to realistically expect in Bulgaria in 2026, including prices, the euro, and long-term relocation considerations. This is an honest, experience-based perspective as a foreigner meant to help other foreigners planning to move to Bulgaria.
