Welcome back to another episode!
In this episode, we meet a family who made the bold decision to leave behind the expensive and busy paced lifestyle of the UK and start a new life in a remote Bulgarian village. For just £7,000, they purchased an abandoned house and began a journey of renovation, self-sufficiency, and reconnection with nature.

Their story is both inspiring and eye-opening for anyone dreaming of an alternative lifestyle!
We also get a tour of their land and property, to see exactly what you can with £7000 and what you can achieve on a budget with some hard work and persistence!
Lewis and Jordan walk us through their home, share their motivations, and reflect on the challenges and rewards of starting over off-grid!

Let us know what you think.... could you make the move to live live this way?

We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we enjoyed meeting and filming with Jordan, Lewis and their family!
Thanks for having us guys!

Thanks to Lewis and Jordan for sharing their story with us and showing us around their home in Bulgaria! Make sure to check them out on the socials....

I am so happy to see this family being together and enjoying life vs struggling to survive in their own country. On the other hand it is so sad that people have to flee their homeland because of destructing policies of their governments. Here in Russia we also have a lot of families arriving from the Western countries simply because they want to see their kids grow in safe environment with traditional values.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for your brave decision. There's a lot to be said about getting out of the rat race. I've lived off grid in the past in a few different countries, however became fearful after losing my husband and realising that I was never going to be able to retire unless I joined that race again, now I work 12-18 hr days to pay bills 😢. You're living your best life, I love your positivity and 'can fix it' attitude. Your children have got amazing parents and will look back on their childhood with a better understanding of prioritising family first. Much love and success to you in your inspirational adventures. 🇬🇧 🌧 ❤

As a family you are living now and your home is coming together beautifully. Pls don't worry about pentions, as in GB you are robbed and not living as you know. You are richer now then you'll ever be, so well done to you as a family and keep smiling ☺️...... Beautiful Bulgarian people and country 😊😊

If this was in South Africa you would be targeted and blamed that you got the land for free due to colonization and the locals will be encouraged by government ANC to break-in and try murder you and the children because you took their land, The Stupidity is the land has always been there and the locals have never done anything with it or produced anything , they are just there to steal and have no ambition to develop things to be better, because you worked hard and built a better house/business than them - you obviously stole it?

The most important thing everyone should think about now is how to invest in different sources of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world🌍. This is still a good time to invest in different stocks like gold, silver and digital currencies. all thanks to Evelyn Infurna for coaching.

The western world is far worse off than Europe. Places that were once called The Lucky Country was 50+ years ago, none of these countries, USA Australia NZ Canada are all squeezing the life out of their citizens and that’s ALL intentional. I’m in Australia and we have had the life blood squeezed out of us over the last thirty years. We are moving to Portugal in four months. Join us there, DONT SAY YOU CANT, unless you’re in a real Jail cell. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice! Congrats guys. Very rare level of common sense having a home 1st and a big wedding party on hold.
One concern, the wavy panels on the pig pen roof and some others around the garden look like old asbestos material? If that is, please get rid of it for the kids sake and your own (wear mask and gloves!).

When I first saw the house I was thinking old Australian, and where .
Then you said Bulgaria and my heart sank .I was getting all excited.
I know about 2 hours from me they are around $ 300000 and where I am $ 900000 . all the best to you.

You guys are the best. Well done! I so liked that comment about not listening to the negative comments from those that are still back in the UK! Hey, sometimes you just have to have a bit of gumption and pack up and go. We built our own house down here in Southern Spain away from the coast where it's not so expensive, by rebuilding a ruin (no roof!). We've been through it all: no electricity, no running water, etc. We now have a four bedroomed + two office home with two bathrooms and a cloakroom, and a quality of life that has always been way way better than we would have had in the UK. PS. The wedding can wait. Never understood why young people spend so much on something like that with house prices beinbg what they are anyway. Spot on.
