Hello, Erasmus students!
One of the most exciting aspects of living abroad is meeting new people and immersing yourself in the local culture. But how easy has it been for you to connect with Bulgarians? Have you made any local friends so far? Or is it more challenging than you expected?
In Bulgaria, locals are generally warm and welcoming, but sometimes language barriers or cultural differences can make it a bit tricky at first. Have you noticed any differences in the way Bulgarians interact with international students? Are they open to making friends with you, or does it feel a bit harder to break into social circles?
