I’ve had the pleasure of calling Plovdiv home after moving here a while back thanks to relocation opportunities in Bulgaria. Stepping into this picturesque city is like walking through a canvas of history and culture. And the life I’m slowly building here is just as pretty: a beautiful balance of work and play.
As a Senior Translator & Communications Specialist at TTEC Plovdiv, let me share the journey of my work relocation to Plovdiv – the joy of living here and the amazing impact it has had on my well-being and family life.
A City That Breathes History and Culture
The allure of Plovdiv is undeniable with its 6,000 years of history. It invites a sense of exploration and wonder. The ancient Roman Theater and the charming little streets of the Old Town are not just tourist spots but landmarks of a living legacy that I get to witness every day.
In 2019, Plovdiv earned the title of European Capital of Culture, a testament to its vibrant lifestyle, including its rich art scene that fills the calendar with festivals and cultural events. The culture here brings so much color into my personal life.
Enjoying the Great Outdoors in Plovdiv
Plovdiv's climate is also one of the best in Europe for those who live active lifestyles. The hot summers and mild winters pave the way for year-round outdoor adventures, from hiking in the breathtaking Rhodope Mountains to enjoying the city's serene parks. Almost every day here is an adventure waiting to unfold.
Finding Work-Life Balance
My career journey with TTEC actually began in Sofia, Bulgaria doing one of many customer service representative jobs. My career grew and took on new directions and exciting developments.
But, motherhood reshaped my priorities. As I welcomed my child, I wanted to live somewhere family-friendly, affordable, and closer to my Bulgarian roots. Plovdiv, TTEC's second site in Bulgaria, was the beacon I was drawn to.
TTEC's unwavering support was instrumental in my seamless work relocation to Plovdiv. Our work culture truly emphasizes balance and flexibility. This allows me to live a rich personal life, immersing myself in Plovdiv's historic charm and lifestyle, while still excelling in my professional role. Here, I have the freedom to blend work with personal passions, especially family time.
Nurturing Family Bonds and Professional Growth
The flexibility that TTEC offers is more than a policy; it's a lifestyle that enables me to weave precious moments with my family into the tapestry of daily life. The flexibility in my schedule ensures that I can spend quality time with my family, balancing my work responsibilities with the joys of parenthood.
Whether it's sharing new discoveries in Plovdiv or cherishing quiet time at home, this equilibrium is the cornerstone of my family’s collective joy and well-being.
Building Community and Experiencing Togetherness
But it's not just the flexibility that makes TTEC stand out; it's the sense of community. From company outings to team-building events, I've forged connections with colleagues that transcend the workplace, exploring Plovdiv's iconic scenes and tranquil green spaces together. These shared experiences have not only enriched my social life but also cemented my bond with TTEC colleagues.
The blend of Plovdiv's affordability, its captivating culture, and TTEC's accommodating work environment has built for me a lifestyle of fulfillment and fun. It's a place where professional aspirations and personal contentment walk hand in hand… where work and life mix in great harmony. I’m so thankful TTEC has relocation opportunities in Bulgaria.
