Fun fact
Did you know that:
Bulgaria consistently ranks as one of the most affordable countries in the European Union in terms of cost of living, making it an increasingly popular destination for remote workers and digital nomads from higher-cost Member States.
When Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007, Cyrillic became the third official alphabet of the European Union, alongside Latin and Greek.
In Bulgaria, shaking your head from side-to-side often means "yes," and nodding up and down means "no" – the exact opposite of most other countries. This is one of the first cultural surprises for expats arriving in Bulgaria and has been known to cause considerable confusion in workplace meetings and negotiations.
