Considering Bulgaria
as your next place?
Maybe you're not looking for a new place.
Maybe you're looking for a different way of living.

Our Philosophy
Freedom.

Your next place is about more than finding a home
A different place can open the door to a different way of living. But finding a property is only one part of the story.
Maybe you're thinking about moving to Bulgaria. Buying a home. Spending part of the year here. Starting a company. Or simply exploring what life here could look like for you.
Your Next Place is here to make that journey easier. With independent local support, practical guidance and access to trusted professionals when you need them.
You choose where you want to go. We help you find your way there.
Why Your Next Place exists
Homes that stand empty
Living in the Balchik region, I quickly noticed that many foreign homeowners only stay here part of the year. When they leave, their house or apartment often stands empty for months. Some owners simply need someone reliable to check the property, take care of the house and make sure everything stays in good condition while they are away.
Homes that could be lived in
Other owners have a second property here that is not being used most of the time. Instead of leaving it empty, some prefer to rent it out for longer periods to people who want to stay in the region for several months or longer.
People who want to live here temporarily
At the same time, many foreigners are interested in spending several months or longer in Bulgaria. Not as tourists, but to truly experience life in the region. Some homes remain empty for longer periods because the owner lives elsewhere or is temporarily away. In such cases, it can be a good solution for someone to stay in the house for a period of time and look after it until the owner returns.

About the founder
Samia
Your Next Place was started by Samia, who moved to the Balchik region in search of a simpler way of living, closer to nature and with more freedom.
Her journey here began when she started helping Venke, a Norwegian homeowner who wanted to remain in her home in Bulgaria for as long as possible. By looking after the house when Venke was away, Samia experienced first-hand how important it is for homeowners abroad to have someone reliable nearby.
Living in the region and seeing both sides, empty homes and people looking for a place to stay, inspired the creation of Your Next Place.
We're not watching from
the sidelines
We know what it's like to make big choices about where and how you want to live, because we've made plenty of them ourselves. Today, we're building our own life in Bulgaria. That means learning how things work here, asking questions, looking beyond the obvious and understanding that what works for one person may not work for another. That real-life experience, combined with our professional backgrounds, is what Your Next Place is built on.
Our Journey
From Belgium to Bulgaria, and all the choices, questions and discoveries that came with it.
Samia Wielfaert
