Sofia Expats is a weekly newsletter for English speakers living in or curious about Bulgaria.
Every Monday, you get a quick roundup of events in English, places to eat, and things to do around Sofia. We explain local customs, phrases, and odd traditions so you can make sense of what’s going on around you.
You’ll also get a Bulgarian slang decoder, memes, and bite-sized tips to help you blend in and make friends.

This newsletter is my mission to make life for expats in Sofia a tiny bit easier and more fun.
Each week, we serve up:
> Local Events & Activities: Curated list for English-speakers.
> Survival Tips: From Cyrillic secrets to Bulgarian customs decoded.
> Language Bites: Impress your friends with more than “Zdravei.”
> Cultural Quirks: Why do Bulgarians use the French word 'Merci'?
We kicked off in January 2025, aiming to keep the fun rolling for as long as Bulgaria exists.
😍 Show some love (and help us stick around) by sharing with a fellow expat.
👉 Got an event, a tiny local restaurant, a hidden gem, or a random Bulgarian mystery you want solved? Send it our way.
