@Julien Hi, my name is Elaine. I'm a retired Brit, currently approaching my 2nd temp visa in France. I love the country, but I'm really struggling with bureaucracy and the expense of everything. I'm a bit of a DIY enthusiast and my French house is a work in progress, but as much as I love it, I'm considering a move to Bulgaria. I'm not sure if my temp residency in France makes things any easier, but first I need to find the best area for me and do some research. I have lots of animals, so I need to be reasonably rural, as I dont want to upset any neighbours. Juxtapose to that, I don't want to be in an area where's there's a lot of hunting. It's a downside of France for me and I know it will be a downside of Bulgaria, but I'd like to minimise that downside as much as possible. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it as long as its not telling me to stay in France 😉
