    Description

    I have a 5 bedroom house in a beautiful little village in the Rhodopi mountains of Bulgaria near the Greece border.
    I need help fixing up the house and garden, with the idea of turning it into a creative wellbeing retreat!

    Any experience with things like plastering, rendering, carpentry, landscaping, roofing, painting/decorating etc would be fantastic, although anyone strong with a bit of labouring behind them will also be super helpful.

    Looking for 1-2 extra pairs of hands to help me get things moving!
    All tools supplied.

    (Anyone with extra skills in website design, content, logos etc or any knowledge of getting their own business off to a start from scratch, would be an extra bonus!)

    This is an opportunity to be creative, really connect with nature and get immersed in a idyllic little community, with a mix of Bulgarian locals and young ex pats from around the world looking for alternative life styles and eco living.

    You would have your own bedroom, plus 3 meals a day supplied (and snacks) please note this is a veggie household though you are welcome to buy and prepare your own meat with no judgment 😊

    I'm looking for 5 hours a day Mon-Fri.
    (Opportunity for paid work outside of those hours too)
    On your time off, there is plenty of beautiful offerings of the Bulgarian mountains including natural hot springs, view point treks and waterfalls. In the evenings we can go for Rakia around a bonfire, or often have social dinners at nearby friends mountain houses.

    Also from time to time, I can offer free yoga classes to anyone needing a stretch before or after work!
    Just a heads up it's a very remote area with lack of transport, best if you have your own transport, otherwise you can get around by foot, lifts by me, taxi or donkey cart!
