Descrição
Take part in a daily life of a secluded village!
Surrounded by beautiful valleys and hills, our place offers peaceful lifestyle, clean environment and escape from civilization. This is multy-cultural region where turks and bulgarian live side by side for genereations.
We are a couple (Max and Marina) in their 30s, who moved here from a big city to live mindfully, eat food from the garden and local farmers and enjoy life. Some years ago we bought an abandoned ex-school building to turn it into a home (or probably some educational project).
We would appreciate help in renovation of the building.
