UK Black Family Buys Bulgarian Home for Less Than a Train Ticket, Sparks Relocation Debate
A UK-based Black family of five has embarked on a significant life change, relocating from the United Kingdom to Bulgaria, where they have purchased a three-bedroom house for a remarkably low price. The family, led by 'Freshstartsticks,' shared their journey online, stating their decision stemmed from a feeling of 'running out of steam' in the UK and a desire for a new beginning. According to the family, the cost of their new home in Bulgaria was less than an annual train ticket in the UK, a comparison that has garnered considerable attention. They revealed the house was bought sight unseen, marking a bold step towards their goal of establishing a homesteading lifestyle. While many online viewers have extended warm welcomes and well wishes, the family's move has also sparked a debate in the comments section regarding the social climate in Bulgaria. Some commenters have expressed concerns about potential racism, while others, including Bulgarian natives and mixed-race families living in the country, have countered these claims, emphasizing positive experiences and welcoming attitudes. The family acknowledges the move as a 'massive risk' but remains optimistic about their new chapter.
