Informationen

Beschreibung
I have a 5 bedroom house in a beautiful little village in the Rhodope mountains of Bulgaria near the Greece border and am needing help fixing up the garden.

This is an opportunity to be creative, helping with your hands, connecting 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 lifestyles 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.
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!

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
On your time off, I am happy to show you around and introduce you to the community here. 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 help!
Arbeit
Looking for 1-2 extra pairs of hands to help me fix up the garden. All tools supplied.

(Anyone with extra skills in website design, content, logos etc I could pick your brain on, would be fantastic too)

Looking for 1-2 Workawayers, be great if you have any experience and knowledge to help create a beautiful garden, or at least confidence in using tools (which are all supplied). Ideally strong people not afraid to get their hands dirty!

Vom Workawayer (Julian) für Host

I was traveling around eastern europe for 3 months, and was lucky to come across this place. Hayley, the soul of the project, is a charming girl, a strong, intelligent and energetic woman. Together with her friend Lol, the other volunteer Phil and his dog Bella, her parents and the closest neighbors, from the first moment they made me feel at… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Julian)

Julian stayed with me for around 6 weeks and in this time helped me with a variety of tasks including sanding, painting and filling window frames, digging trenches, strimming the grass, decorating and also help on website design and logo ideas for my business.
Even if DIY and labouring wasn't what he was necessarily experienced in, he gave… read more

Vom Workawayer (Chris) für Host

The first thing you’ll be wanting to know is if this’ somewhere you should go and somebody you should stay with: rest assure, the answer is “definitely” to both

Secondly, at time of writing I’m a bit fuddled so apologies to Hayley for many complimentary things I will forget to say.

If for no other reason then you ought to go for the experience… read more of Hayley. She really looked after me & another volunteer who arrived same time as me. She took us out to sites and introduced us to the locals, inviting us to events and arranging excursions. Then the food ! she’s quite the cook. There was talk of sharing the cooking for the evening meals but it was proven to be all bravado on my part, Hayley did the bulk of it and it was superb. (It may be that after sampling my efforts she was reluctant to press for more - though I outsourced a few meals to cover for my lack of skills which was acceptable.)

A warning: if Hayley picks up an instrument (she’s a fantastic musician) brace yourself, when she sings you might experience a feeling like the furniture in your chest is being heavily rearranged. It’s exhausting. To the extent that I found it difficult to be around when she sang, had to make my excuses on a couple of occasions. (And she isn’t reluctant, bit of a show-off really 🤩)

But don’t get the impression from that she’s some kind of angel. She’s definitely from the other place. At best fallen 😆

As to the work....... we were on with scraping-out old mortar from stone walls and preparing the new, fittings (screws or nails as appropriate), ground clearing, grass-cutting, iOS chopping, carrying, et cet. just as you’d expect with a house renovation. Then around the shared house stuff - taking-out the bins and all that (which I meant to do on my last days but was rained-off, sorry Hayley)

As to the hours, we sometimes worked over just because we were so into the project. Although she didn’t have to Hayley compensated us on other days with an earlier finish. She was really good about it. Though I gather she won’t take that from time wasters. I think it was because she trusted and valued the people who were there at the time that she wanted to reward the approach we took, the dedication we showed to work. I think she’s had people who needed more molly-coddling in the past 🤷‍♂️

One possible discrepancy with the five star ratings....... I ticked five stars for communication, to be entirely forthcoming that’s a one way thing, Hayley makes herself clear but I gathered that she couldn’t really understand me. (That’s being polite, the reality is she just tuned me out most of the time. ☹️)

I think it unlikely I’d be in the area again but it’s certainly one of the hostings I’d be willing to return to. (If she’d have me back that is, it’s possible I did more harm than good. 😬)

Vom Host für Workawayer (emnsam)

I'll admit I was a little apprehensive on taking on a couple and them being quite young, but was proven wrong within the first couple of days- Sam and Emily were a breath of fresh air!
They have a really good work ethic, put in the hours without complaint, and even if they had little experience in some of the work undertaken, they weren't afraid… read more

Vom Workawayer (emnsam) für Host

Hayley was a great host to us during our 3 weeks stay, very warm and inviting, and shared her life and ideas. We learned something new every day, the jobs we had were a variety, and even if we didn't have background experience she was understanding and took her time to teach us. She made us feel at home from the moment we got there and was great… read more

It was a pleasure to stay with Hayley and help her with her project, she went above and beyond to make me and Bella comfortable and make sure our needs were met. The work was varied and engaging and we went to some interesting places and met lovely people on our time off. It was fun learning new skills together as we progressed and Hayley was both… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Philip)

Phil and Bella stayed with me for around 6 weeks, and really was an asset to my place.
I was having trouble with my first workawayer who was still living at mine, and Phil instantly made me feel more comfortable with his presence and support. It was a relief to have someone that, if he didn't know how to do something, would Google or call a friend… read more
