In this episode, we sit down with Mitko and Jen Katsev, founders of the Bulgarian Honey Company, who left Silicon Valley to bring new life to a century-old beekeeping tradition in Bulgaria. With a vision of making Bulgaria the world’s go-to for honey, they share their adventure of cultural surprises, business building, and personal growth.

As an intercultural couple, Mitko and Jen reveal the realities of merging their American and Bulgarian experiences—from culture shocks and community connections to reshaping their sense of home. They discuss the warmth of Bulgarian relationships, and the surprising experience of starting their businesses in Plovdiv.

Whether you’re in an intercultural relationship and wondering what it is like to move to Bulgaria with a partner that is not Bulgarian or just curious about life in Bulgaria, this episode is packed with golden insights, heartfelt stories, and tips on turning dreams into reality in Bulgaria!
