Lifestyle Migration in Ignatitsa Village, Bulgaria

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the phenomenon of lifestyle migration in Ignatitsa, a village in northwestern Bulgaria. Drawing on theoretical perspectives on lifestyle migration and, empirical data collected from in-depth interviews with migrants, the study explores motivations, socio-economic backgrounds, and settlement experiences. The findings indicate that lifestyle migrants in Ignatitsa, predominantly from the UK and Germany, are driven by a desire for a better quality of life, lower living costs, and the opportunity to engage in self-sufficient living. The paper further situates these findings within broader discussions of lifestyle migration and its implications for rural communities.
