Hello! I'm gonna take this out,
my headphones because, ah, okay, we're back. We want to be able to hear it, right? Yeah. We want everyone to hear it. Hi guys!
It's Emma and Samantha. Hi and we're just having a - what's today, Tuesday? - "Tuesday!" having a Tuesday morning
snowboard session together. And they are just talking about life and just what we're doing here
And I wanted to share - I know I know - that I've been doing the live streams at night.
But I couldn't missed this opportunity
to let you guys, talk to my friends and for them to share how they how they got here basically. So Emma,
yeah, Emma. You were telling me at the bar 180 that you quit your job. Yes
I did.Tell us about that. What happened? Um
We just had enough of the rat race.
So yeah, just quit, just quit everything when traveling and this is you and your partner.
Yes, and what were you guys doing before I was teaching English as a foreign language and he was an engineer.
Okay, and how long ago did you quit?
What year?
Over two years ago.
Best thing we've ever done and now what are your plans to buy a house? Yeah, hopefully buy property here in
Bulgaria. And then
probably so, having a family.
Amazing. Yeah, And how or what is your opinion on
traveling while working? What do you think is the optimum amount of time you should stay in a place
before moving on? - Oh
That's a good question.
It's difficult when, it depends where you are (yeah) in the world.
Two weeks, then three weeks, maybe? It depends on your workload as well.
So yeah, so that you can get a feel for the place - exactly - cool - see as much as you can and then um,
What was my other question... Oh and tell us about where you wanted to go to buy property.
But things went wrong and how that changed your path. Yeah, we were thinking of I tonight buying a property in Nicaragua. And
when we went to Mexico last year to
Start visiting Central America, the political unrest happened and so we couldn't even get into the country.
So we decided to change our complete plan. So basically a volcanic eruption.
Yeah, in Guatemala and then political unrest in Nicaragua caused them to you end up in Bulgaria.
And that's what sometimes, when shit happens, it puts you on a better path than you would have thought of before. (Completely!) Yes, right.
Sam is shaking her head. Yeah! and Sam, Tell us - you're gonna have to yell. I'm gonna have to yell.
I'm really good at yelling. Tell us how did you end up? How did you end up in Bulgaria?
Last year, I was in Bulgaria loved it, loved it needed it in my life. It was actually
Coworking Bansko, that was the reason that I even had Bansko on my radar and
I came here last year. Loved it, lived it thought it was amazing wasn't sure if I was gonna come back was in a
weird relationship for a bit.
Decided not for me, came back to Bulgaria
Best decision I've ever made
Second season is so much better. And you're boarding now! Oh, I'm boarding now. I ski, I board, I
kill it! I have a great job. I
get to come up here every single day.
And It's just an affordable amazing place to live with some of the best.
I like to call Bansko just like the the town of weirdos. Yes, basically
all of the weirdest most eclectic
interesting people
come here, and I don't know why I don't know why it's just a sponge for these people.
So if you have a chance,
come here. Check it out. You'll book for a day. You'll stay for a year. Stay forever
Be like how I'm back next year, the next year, the next year, the next year. Yeah, and do you guys,
