    Congratulations! My wife and I have been following your journeys since Varna (Варна) 4 years ago. We'll be moving from Oregon to Plovdiv in February. Our visa applications went in 2-3 weeks after yours. We're delighted at your success!

      Oregon to Plovdiv. Well, I know both. Oregon from childhood, Plovdiv from a visit this century. I can see a few similarities: The Rhodopes, The Cascades. One thing I know from my Oregon contacts: Plovdiv will save you some money! Enjoy your new home! Happy Holidays to you and Alina.

    Alina, thanks to you, I've recently become very interested in Bulgaria.
    I often watch videos of Bulgaria on RUclips.
    The nature and cityscapes are truly beautiful and very fascinating. It's a country rich in history and culture.
    I sincerely hope that your choice and courageous decision will bring you a happy life.

I am so excited for you to hear that you are going to Bulgaria!! Home of all thing Rose products. Largest exporter of them the last time I was there in 2010. I think you will love it there! So excited to see videos from your new life over there. Take some time to get over and get settled, your followers will be here for you when you check back in :)

    Congratulations, Alina! :)
    Welcome to Bulgaria! If you arive in a few days, Christmas markets around Sofia center probably will be still active and you will have a chance to visit some of them. Also - last weekend of January consider to visit Pernik, city near Sofia, where will be held annual International Masquerade festival - Surva 2025. On 3rd of March, in Sofia center will be held ceremony for Liberation of Bulgaria. On 6th of May - again in Sofia center, around Saint Alexander Nevski cathedral, Bulgarian patriarch will bless Bulgarian Army's war banners, and probably after that may be held military parade. Consider around 9th to 14th of May, exact dates are still unknown, Sofia's festival of lights - LUNAR 2025. And on 24th of May, in every big Bulgarian town/city will be held ceremonies for celebrating the day of Bulgarian alphabet script and Slavonic culture.
    btw: I don't know if in Ukraine there are female names similar to Alina, like: Galina, Kalina and Malina, but in Bulgaria there are such. :)

    Thanks be to Providence for achieving your desired success, Alina ! I believe you will also be able to freely visit and enjoy other Schengen countries using/ via your newly obtained Bulgarian residence. You shall be able to achieve much European reach and experiences by leverage of your Bulgarian domicile! Yes, you can be able to do it eventually - with that residence comes tremendous opportunities! Thus, the ball has been sent/ set rolling on your side; it is now time for you to score more of your desired goals! Otherwise, i wish you Alina Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year ( 2025 )! Cherio.
    Yours , John Mpiima, from Kampala, Uganda.

    Congrats Alina!!! 👌👌👌
    I am so excited with your journey!
    Please, let me explain why:
    I follow your YT channel since several months and what grabbed me was, of course, your decision to move in my 🇧🇬 Motherland. I am Bulgarian Canadian, living near Toronto.
    But the reason I am excited is not only that I am BG. I am your mom age, and I have your age kids - son and daughter. We moved to Canada in 2002 and they grew up in Canada the same as you, and, same as you, decided to move back to Bulgaria, and they are doing great there already 10+ years!
    Also, I have a son in law and daughter in law 75% Russian and 25% Ukrainian, and 50/50 Bulgarian/Russian. All we are definitely a 100% strong Ukraine supporters in the bloody conflict now. 🇺🇦✊
    They all are living in Sofia downtown. I'm not gonna waste your time with what they do, as I said they all are doing great in their different fields, just wanna mention one more similarity - my son in law is doing, same as you, his business in with 2M subscribers... 🙂
    So, I believe you understand me now why I am so excited.
    Wish you all the best and can't wait to watch your video from Sofia.
    Merry Christmas! 🌲🌟✨🥂

    I keep getting recommended videos from Bulgarian Martin with Gemini Walk and Talk who raves about having kids and living in Seattle. It’s interesting to hear perspective of Bulgarians who leave and are in complete opposite in way of thinking. There’s lots of Bulgarians like him and his family in San Francisco who participate in Balkan dance groups here. It’s reassuring to have a positive perspective as there is so much misery I see as I move through Oakland for an East Bay Christmas. Wish you continued success on journey.
