Finding a place
and people you can rely on
Your Next Place connects people who want to live abroad with homes that need care.
Whether you are looking for a place to stay, a house to look after, or simply exploring a different way of living, we help create simple and human connections.
We are starting in the Balchik region in Bulgaria, while gradually building small international communities in different places around the world.
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.
How we help
Supporting homeowners and helping people find a place to stay in the Balchik region.
Property Care
When owners are away for longer periods, we make sure their home is looked after.
Regular checks, keeping the house in good condition and making sure everything stays safe and maintained while the owner is not there.
Long-term rentals
Some homeowners prefer to rent out their property for longer stays instead of leaving it empty.
We help connect these homes with people looking for a place to live in the region for several months or longer.
Finding a place to stay

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.
