Looking For An Off Grid Hideout-- I Found Something Potentially Life threatening

in #offgrid8 years ago (edited)


Only just become familiar with the term off grid but since becoming aware
of what it actually means I realise that I have always been a fan ie I want
somewhere dirt cheap - I don't care where it is that I can live safely with a roof over
my head and be able to grow my own food and live a self sustaining life.

Guess WHAT-- I had chosen BULGARIA for a full year and a half only to find it regularly HAS EARTHQUAKES!!

"Earthquakes are not uncommon in Bulgaria and small tremors are recorded throughout the year. The most seismically active areas are: Krupnik, Blagoevgrad, Sofia, Maritsa, Shabla, Veliko Turnovo and Gorna Oryahovitsa areas."

Apparently there has been two really big ones one of them in sofia --which was 9 on the richter scale

Its funny that all my research about this country had not uncovered this earlier. in fact if you go to the
website where i found it
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-bulgaria

it was way way way down the list if you bothered to read that far well AFTER HEALTH BENEFITS and taxation :-)

So I bet you are asking if I have changed my mind--well not really, i'll just go a little to the left or right of
one of those regions depending on what crops up

any tips advice on living off grid will be most appreciated
seeya!

Sort:  

nine on the richter scale huh?
