Quilmes - the location, not the beer
Hi All, I'm considering a move to Argentina. If I do end up making it I'll be moving to Quilmes (just south of BA). Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the area and could give me an opinion on how it would be to live there. Thanks! Read More

EVERYTHING that we submitted to them had to be translated, notorized and for legal documents apostilled. It was an enormous pain in the butt. And I was giving them the originals! Read More

I've never had anything disappear. But getting it from customs (as a non-Bulgarian speaker) is a huge pain. It definitely puts me off ordering from outside of the EU. Read More

Hello everybody, my name Is Maria, I am Italian and I have just received a job offer from a gaming company located in Sofia. Before accepting ( the offer is pretty good) I do have some concerns and I hope you can help me with that. 1) First of ...

Hi all, Maybe you guys can help me with some questions I have. I'm relocating to Sofia in the coming months with my dog. Which area would you recommend me based on the following: Close to city centre. Safe, quiet and with shops around for ...

How can I survive in Bulgaria? by bttella1
I want to relocate to Bulgaria but I am wondering how I could survive in Bulgaria as a journalist/writer. I speak and write only in English Language. I also have experience in healthcare work. I have worked with elderly people in residential homes ...
