Kindle Edition

Marginal Boundaries - Live Like a Local in Sofia, Bulgaria
 
Product Description:
This "Live Like a Local" guide from Marginal Boundaries contains everything you need to know about vacationing, retiring or living in Sofia, Bulgaria for the same cost of living that the locals enjoy. Ideal for the pensioner or the location independent digital nomad looking for their next adventure, this guide shows you how to make your money go three to five times farther than it ever would in your home country, letting you get the most out of your time spent in this Bulgarian capital. Forget the Black Sea resorts and the ski slopes of Bansko; this is the heart of the true Bulgarian experience.

87 pages of up-to-date content puts you right at the heart of living like a local in Sofia, Bulgaria. From the local bazaars to real estate tips to rental recommendations, schools, universities, transportation routes and prices, local doctors, medical tourism information, healthcare tips, university information, restaurant reviews, personal recommendations, tour guide recommendations and beyond, this is everything you need to live just like the locals do.

You'll find out how to live like a king on what others consider a shoestring budget, all the while putting the vast majority of your salary back in your pocket rather than spending it on a ridiculous cost of living, enabling you to retire at half the age your parents and grandparents did. You'll have all of the amenities you had back home: high speed Internet (Bulgaria has some of the fastest Internet ratings in the world), HD cable TV, fully furnished apartments and houses with maid service and 24/7 security, first-class medical care at a fraction of the cost, English-speaking education facilities, modern shopping centers, IMAX theaters and beyond. And best of all, the freedom to live your life on your terms in a country that has thousands of years of history, surrounded by incredibly pristine and untouched countrysides and a vastly undiscovered wine culture.
