Life in a Tiny Rural Bulgarian Village (Живот На Село) A Tour of our Bulgarian Farm -Silent Edition
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Welcome to our authentic Bulgarian Village…stuck in the past. Today we will tour this tiny Balkan farm and see what life was like 200 years ago!
ABOUT ME:
My name is Laurie and I swapped city life (Manhattan, New York) for a simple life in a semi-abandoned village (Село) in the Balkan Mountains (Eastern Europe).
I literally woke up one morning and realized NYC wasn’t for me. I booked a ticket (the same day!), packed a little suitcase, and moved to my beloved teeny-tiny Bulgarian farm… lost in time. And when I say lost in time I mean LOST-IN-TIME. No time-crunching jobs, no watching the clock, hardly any internet service at all, really. Imagine a village from the Middle Ages… that’s pretty much what you get here. And I’m loving every second of it!
I went from living in a city of 8 million to living on an old, historic farm… population: under 40. From skyscrapers to crumbling abandoned houses. From fast food takeout to barrel grill cooking. The advantages of village life are endless…
Update: My boyfriend and I have saved up and begun renovating our abandoned ancestral homestead (farmhouse). It hasn’t been easy but definitely interesting and extremely rewarding. There is nothing better than farming, harvesting and foraging for our own food… and keeping tradition alive. 🌱
ЗА МЕН:
Здравейте!
Аз съм Лори, на която всички се чудят как замени градския живот (Манхатън, Ню Йорк) със спокоен живот в малко полуизоставено село в България.
Събудих се една сутрин и осъзнах, че Ню Йорк не е за мен. Купих си билет (същият ден!), стегнах си малкото куфарче, и се завърнах в България… в бащиното ми селце, там, където животът е спрял, и там, където разбираш кои неща наистина имат смисъл! Забравих какво е стрес, напрежение и нареждане на деня спрямо часовника! Часовник, какво е това? За да ползваш телефона си, отиваш до специално място, където има обхват, и така говориш! Чувстваш се така, сякаш живееш в годините от Възрожденския ни период! Обожавам и ценя всеки миг, прекаран тук!
Всички се чудят не е ли трудно да живееш в село с по-малко от 40 души, отчитайки, че идвам от град с 8 милиона жители! От небостъргачи до рушащи се изоставени къщи…От доставки на бързи храни до готвене на жар и весели чевермета! Предимствата да живееш на село са безкрайни... На първо място трябва да осъзнаеш какво дава то на душата ти, защото тя е най-важна! След това да забравиш за клишето, че няма реализация!
В момента: Моят приятел и аз обновихме изоставената къща на предците ни! Пригодихме я така, че да не ни липсва каквото и да е удобство! Не беше лесно, но определено интересно и изключително възнаграждаващо. Няма нищо по-добро от земеделието, отглеждането и търсенето на собствена храна... и поддържането на традицията жива. 🌱

Very nice video ! Thank you so much .... a French living in Plovdiv since 2002
I was in Plovdiv last month and thought of you 😃. Thank you (as always) for watching! Maybe I will run into you in Plovdiv one of these days 🌞🌻🌺
Здравейте, цели 22 години са изминали от тогава, научихте ли български език?
Поздрави!
your village is so beautiful
Thank you so much 🌞❤️ I love my village with so much passion and it means a lot to hear you say such things about it 😊
Wow, what wonderful greens! It's so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Spring and Summer are very lush and green! Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️🌞
¡Qué maravilloso lugar! 💫🙂
No conozco Bulgaria. Parece realmente un paraíso donde vives. ¡Muchas gracias por compartir! Saludos desde Argentina. 🇦🇷
Oooooo Argentina!! We took a cruise down to South America last year but didn’t make it to Argentina. You are so lucky to be from such a beautiful country! 🌞🌻
Un lugar precioso! Tranquilo y en armonía con la naturaleza.
¡Muchas gracias! Me hace muy feliz ver que otras personas aprecian pueblos pequeños como estos 😊
Mnogo je lepoooo.Hvala❤
Thank YOU for watching and commenting! Your brightened up my day 🌞🌻😊
I like the bird noices :)
Me too 🐦❤️
I would enjoy village life very much I believe.
Thank you for sharing our time, Blessed Days...
Thank you for being a part of our world 🌍. It brings me so much joy to share our village with people who enjoy this lifestyle. Best wishes to you and your family! 🐰🐓🌸🌺🌻
What a beautiful village ❤️ Cheers from Arizona.
Thank you so much! ❤️ Nazdrave (cheers) from Bulgaria!
I very much enjoy the sound of Bulgarian Bagpipes (I believe they are called "Kabá Gájda"). Have you ever considered including traditional Bulgarian music in your videos?
I'm very interested in foreign (to me) cultures and I feel that local, traditional music is a big part of culture.
So many countries have a rich culture and it seems such a shame to not include local music in videos about those countries. I noticed that you were wearing traditional clothing in the videos about the church. Is it not possible to obtain traditional Bulgarian music on RUclips?
HOW I WISH!! .. Bulgarian music is incredible and so so beautiful. I ALWAYS want to include Bulgarian music in my videos but there are strict copyright rules and I don’t know how to gain permission. I actually have to sift through each video and mute all the clips where there is Bulgarian music in the background 😔 It’s such a shame because half of the energy and life of the clip is in the music… not to mention our parties and traditional dancing. I have to keep researching how to get permission to use music.
If anyone knows or has any advice on this please reach out!
Greetings from Bulgaria! You can try from my public playlists the one with a name "Bulgarian Folklore". Happy listening!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much 😊🌞🌹

Your video is raw and authentic… as a viewer my opinion. Don’t be scared to speak your language… let us find the meanings or translation of that ! Keep it doing
Thanks so much for this! I followed your advice and have Bulgarian throughout my latest video from yesterday. 😊
Lời Chào Từ Việt Nam 🇻🇳 những Làng quê yên bình giờ đây những người trẻ tuổi không thích Sống đã di cư tới các thành phố,ra nước ngoài sống, bỏ lại quê hương thật sự tiếc nuối
VIETNAM!!! You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful country!!
Yes it is very regretful but it seems like more and more young people are realizing that true life is not just about chasing money and riches in big cities. Hopefully more of us will return ❤️
The greenery and blue skies. Beautiful location with mountains in the background. Meanwhile here in England the weather is poor again. We are waiting for our summer to start.
Oooo here has been SO HOT the past few days! It’s gotten dangerous actually. We are wishing for some rain right about now 🌧️
I am enjoying your video from kolkata, India. Your country is so green and beautiful but maximum house became abundant. How many population are in Bulgaria? Your country is very beautiful like you. Stay safe and fit. God bless be always with you. Good luck.
Oh wow!! INDIA! It’s my DREAM to visit your beautiful country! You have such a rich culture, beautiful land and suchhh delicious food!
Bulgaria’s population is very low.. only about 6.5 million. We used to be 8 million not long ago but sadly many people are moving abroad because the salaries here are very low.
Thank you so much for these kind words! You really brought a smile to my face 😃. God bless you and your loved ones! 🌞
Muito legal seu vídeo amei abraço de um brasileiro 😅😅
Thank you so much!! It’s a dream of mine to visit Brazil! Hugs from a Bulgarian! 😃😁
Beautiful video.............❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️😊🌻
You are such a beautiful woman ❤😊❤
Awww thank you so much! That’s very kind of you to say 😊☺️
Oh it looks glorious in the height of summer, Laurie! 🌄
Does the mayor have much to do in a tiny village ?
Just love the fig trees and leaves
It certainly is! We have been waiting all year for summer so that we can finally enjoy the river (or what exists of it). This year has been very dry but we are making the best of it.
Yes! She is responsible for organizing events ranging from elections to funerals. She also oversees the cleanliness of the region and is responsive for all three villages nearby. I have to say, she is a force of nature and truly cares about our village ❤️🥰🌻
Very Nice Thanks
Thank YOU ! 😊🌻🌞
So sad to see this beautiful village ignored 😰
Sadly many villages in Bulgaria have become completely abandoned and lost 😞. Luckily there is hope for our village. More and more descendants have been returning and renovating their family homes! We have 4 houses being renovated in our village at this very moment (including ours) 😃🌞🌻
@@sistersofbulgaria9396 can you send me your village’s name?
МАГАРЕТО! 😂
Just wait until I tell you about him! 😂 🫏
@@sistersofbulgaria9396I can't wait! 😁
Cruce Bulgaria el otoño pasado, me llamó la atención la cantidad de pueblos abandonados al llegar a la frontera de Rumania.
Por otro lado tuvimos una mala experiencia en dos oportunidades con la policía de tránsito, creo que no volveré!
It’s very exciting that you crossed Bulgaria! I will be honest… Bulgaria, as a country currently, is not perfect. Not everyone who comes here loves it. I’m from here and it’s in my blood so I love it but I can see how a foreigner might not have the best experiences all the time.
Gracias por tu comprensión!
Sofía y sus alrededores muy bonito, la gente joven nos ayudo mucho😊
Beautiful like to live paying guests .if people are friendly .
I actually am planning to start tours to our village 😃 I would love to host people and show them our world. Once I put all the plans together I will message you 😊
Hi did you see if it is the red car might be very rare ! Is it a beavertail on mk 1 golf gti ...a very rare car ! Thousands of dollars !
Oh wow! Thanks for telling me this 😳 😮 This car has been sitting there for years wasting away. I will see if I can get in touch with the owners!
Kako se zove selo?Mozda bih dosao da ga vidim.
this is so awesome i cannot see why people want to come to U.S.. nothing is good like this in USA NOTHING.. There in the USA.. IT IS all greed and wanting. Especially the politics....this is quaint, charming, full of love, life, and peace. Wish i was there my experience in engineering design and building OMG this would be heaven for me. You made one of the smartest decisions ever moving from the U.S. to Bulgaria. Sure there isn't much where you are at... but the charm and laid back life is the best.
I couldn’t agree more. NYC used to be a nice place to live when I was little but everything changed for the worse unfortunately. I find myself very happy with a simpler life ❤️
Мне лично эти телочки нравятся, но я знаю, что после поездки в это место, другие телочки начинают свой стыд вносить везде, тут ляпсус, много даёте им, несоразмерно уму❤
Да, теперь болгары, нечего мясу перестать интересоваться новыми породами.
The music in the background is from an old Israeli song
Funny thing is it is also a very famous Bulgarian song 🎵🌞
@@sistersofbulgaria9396 So the original song is Bulgarian. Israelis copy songs from all over the world.

Poucas pessoas morando na Bulgária...!!!???
Yes! Very few. I think we are only about 6 million right now 😳
Only six...em um território grande..🙄
Posso escrever em portugues???
My advise check it out don't sell to anyone but volkswagen factory only a few were ever made if it is a beavertail gti small glass tail lamp model the factory would want it ! Millions of dollars pass for cars like them
Wow! Imagine we were sitting on millions all this time 😁😃 Thank you so much for letting me know. I really have to look into this!
Oh my god what a very nice village,,,quiet,,with green nature,,,l love it,,,Can you help,,to Come and live with,us there,,,,to be happy,,,l will work hardly,,to clean anywhere,,there IS rubbish,,,and all other jobs,, ok?''''
Please answer me ,,,,
Friendly,,,yours.,good bye and good Luck.❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hello! Thank you so much for watching my video and for your beautiful comment 😊
I don’t have any experience helping people immigrate to Bulgaria but I would be more than happy to help in any way I can 😊
if there is house for sale (any cond) please make vid
Unfortunately there aren’t any houses for sale right now. After reading your comment I went down to the mayor’s house to check if there is any hearsay about a family thinking to sell. There is one house that burned down (only the walls remain) and I thought maybe there is a chance they would want to sell but there are descendants who wish to inherit the house in hopes to repair it.
It’s unfortunate that so many houses are left crumbling because people don’t have the funds to repair them… but at the same time it’s very touching that they feel so connected to their ancestral homes. I will keep my ears open and if word comes up of someone selling I will be sure to message you! 🌞🌻🌺
Very green
Veryyyy 🌳 🌱🌻🌞
на 20 км не от Бургас,а от Чернобил.ех демокрацио родна

Ужас,предполагал что в Болгарии не очень с экономикой,но все равно впечатляет.Может наладится,....хотя русофобия не дешевое удовольствие.Успехов вам.
Много си е хубаво в България 🇧🇬 ❤️
В Московската кочина по-добре ли е? Силно се съмнявам. 🇧🇬🇪🇺🇺🇦
