Hello!
I am a British student studying second home tourism in Bulgaria and will be staying in the country all of August. I just wondered whether any British Expats or Second Home owners would mind sparing a few minutes answering the following questions to help me with my study.
If you could tell me about your experience in moving to Bulgaria and in particular, your experience after moving and your life in Bulgaria.
Where is home for you?
Do you feel at home in Bulgaria? How/ Why Not?
How would you describe your identity?
How do you maintain this identity?
Are there any circumstances in which you would hide this identity?
When did you, or do you ever stop being a tourist?
How are the British represented in Bulgaria?
Do you consider yourself to be part of a community in Bulgaria?
How would you describe this?
What has been the attitude of local Bulgarian residents to be towards you?
How do you feel towards them?
Do you feel you have integrated fully into the Bulgaria and the Bulgarian community?
Have there been any barriers in preventing you to integrate?
Are you a member of any groups or community projects?
For what reasons do you use expatexchange.com?
How does this influence your own experience as a British expat or second home owner?
Thank you for your time. If you can think of any other information which may be useful to my study such as people to speak to, places to visit and sources for statistics I would be most grateful! Are there any weekly expat meeting groups I could go to?
