About John Rocha

Hi, I’m John Rocha and I’m a stock and editorial photographer based in Bulgaria.

I hope that if you read my blog more of my bio will come out than I write here.

I started this blog because so many people contacted me about living in Bulgaria - quite a few people seem quite interested in coming here for holidays, buying second homes or, like me, to settle here.

I think I have a pretty good idea about living here.

I first came here almost twenty years ago just before the first elected government and and met my wife here - she’s Bulgarian and, of course, will soon put me right if I get anything completely wrong.

After a few years away we settled back here and I’ve been here through the accession to the EEC and have observed lots of changes for good and for bad.

I think I’ve good a pretty good idea about how things are both as a foreign resident and as part of an everyday Bulgarian family.
