A WOMAN has revealed that she ditched life in the UK and moved abroad to Bulgaria.
Not only are her bills and food costs now a fraction of the price, but she even bought her home for just £5,5000 on eBay.
The blonde beauty took to social media to reveal the five reasons why she left her life in the UK for Bulgaria, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting online, the content creator explained that her first reason for leaving the UK was for warmer weather.
Whilst filming her clip in January, the influencer, who has 59,000 followers, wore just a T-shirt and beamed: “We’re currently in January and I’m in a T-shirt in beautiful sunny weather.”
As well as this, the 23-year-old claimed that she wanted to move to Bulgaria because the people there are “much friendlier than the English”.
She acknowledged: “They’re there to help you, they’ll prepare you food, they’re just so much friendlier – whoever you drive past on the street will wave and say hello, I never once got that in the UK.”
Not only this, but the woman explained that another reason why she relocated was for a “better and healthier lifestyle”.
She explained that now, living in Bulgaria, she has a “healthier mindset”, as she admitted: “Living here, I don’t have the worries that I had in the UK.”

Whilst she wanted to buy a home, she wasn’t bothered about following a conventional lifestyle and didn’t want to be “pulled into a job that I wouldn’t be able to get out of and one that I probably wouldn’t be so happily in”.
In addition to this, the TikTok user claimed that living in Bulgaria has given her “all the time in the world” which she can now spend with her family and friends.

Here in Bulgaria, we make time for each other because we have so much of it, none of us are in 9 to 5 jobs, so we have so much more free time to give each other and spend with each other.”
And if that wasn’t enough, the savvy woman also praised the “cheap living” in Bulgaria.

Not only this, but she claimed that her electricity, water and phone bills are now a “fraction of the price compared to the UK.”
As well as being able to cut down on the cost of her groceries, she also has livestock that produces eggs, further making her shopping bill “even smaller”.
