Chapters:
00:00 – Meet Our Family of Five
We’re a family of five who left the UK after selling everything to start a new life in rural Bulgaria. Here’s how it all began and how we found freedom in a debt-free lifestyle abroad.
01:31 – Stranded in Tenerife for Six Weeks
Our plans were thrown into chaos when we got stuck in Tenerife for six weeks during the pandemic. It was the first big test of our journey.
03:00 – Can’t Wait to Hit the Road
With thousands of miles ahead, we couldn’t wait to hit the road. Every mile brought us closer to a brand new life.
04:33 – Packing Up Everything We Own
We packed what we could carry, knowing the rest had to be sold, donated, or left behind.
06:02 – The Ultra Low Emission Zone Problem
Navigating the UK’s low emission zones made things harder before we even left.
07:33 – Setting Off to See What’s Ahead
Exhausted but determined, we set off. The car was ready, the bags packed, and the adventure had begun.
09:00 – Living Out of Bags for Two Weeks
For two weeks, we lived out of bags while sorting through what to sell, donate, or store.
10:30 – Feeling Exhausted Already
We were drained from endless packing and moving, but there was no turning back.
12:01 – Unexpected Delays on the Road
Driving across Europe for the first time was daunting.
13:31 – More Challenges Keep Coming
Our car overflowed with what we owned, while the rest sat in storage.
15:00 – Leaving Our Stuff Behind
We left most possessions behind, unsure if we’d ever see them again.
16:30 – Only Keeping Sentimental Essentials
18:04 – Something We’ve Never Experienced Before
Randomly selected for a security check, we faced an unnerving moment on the road.
19:32 – “I Thought I Was Going to Jail”
A wrong turn at a checkpoint caused panic — for a moment, it felt serious.
21:08 – Finally, We’ve Arrived!
At last, we reached our destination. Delays didn’t matter anymore.
22:33 – The Move Officially Begins
With daylight fading, we pushed on, closer to our new life abroad.
24:05 – No Dryers, No Comforts of Home
We quickly noticed how different things were — no dryers, no small comforts of home.
25:32 – A Surprisingly Well-Organised Kitchenette
Our new place came with a small but organised kitchenette, enough to start a routine.
27:02 – Exploring Our New Bedroom Setup
We explored our bedroom — a simple, bright space with a few storage areas.
28:53 – Taking the Next Big Step
On the road again, we crossed new borders, each one a milestone.
30:06 – Adjusting to Life Abroad
Driving through Germany, Austria, and Hungary gave us our first taste of daily life abroad.
31:31 – Finally, A Proper Home-Cooked Meal
After weeks of travel, a proper home-cooked meal was a comfort that lifted our spirits.
33:00 – Little Wins That Keep Us Going
Little victories — finding supplies or saving money — kept us motivated.
34:35 – Checking In With You All
We checked in from the road, sharing frustrations and funny discoveries.
36:07 – Crossing Through Serbia
Crossing into Serbia marked the next stage. Every border crossing meant progress.
38:00 – Finding Our Bulgarian Home
After months of searching, we discovered the house that felt right — the beginning of our fresh start.
39:30 – A Chance to Reset and Rewild
This wasn’t just a move. It was our chance to step away from the system and live closer to nature.
40:10 – Touring the New House and Barn
We explored our home, complete with a huge barn and outbuildings, already planning how to make it ours.
41:00 – The Garden of Our Dreams
The property came with a massive garden full of trees and space — bigger than we imagined.
42:00 – Space for Work and Play
The barn will become a workspace, while the nearby park gives the kids plenty of room to play.
43:00 – Welcome to Our New Life in Bulgaria
This is it — our new home and the start of our Bulgarian adventure. Join us as the journey continues.
