Live in a village with a close community. Will be able to observe, and join in local activities. Hear the jackals at night, totally clear skies devoid of light pollution. Amazing variety of bird life, with lizards, snakes, fresh fruits and vegetables on hand in season. Wine region of Bulgaria, with Roman history museum in the next town. Bazaars. Still shepherds walking the animals across the hills. Horse and carts considered normal transport.
