  Beschreibung

  ==================
  We are currently looking for help from fellow volunteers for 1-2 weeks who have experience in doing outerInsulation of our house.
  
  Other aspects we anticipate needing help with is:
  -Pouring a concrete slab in our backyard
  -Removing Garden weeds and leveling it with a rake
  -Fixing a front yard vine support which is bent up due to a bad snow storm late last year.
  
  Any help in either of the above would be very helpful for us! Anyone with other skills around just being able to use power tools and a can-do mindset is also welcome to write to us and we can see what is possible to accommodate your timeline with ours.

  Hello :) We are a couple from Belgium and India crafting a life for ourselves in Bulgaria. Around 1 year old on Workaway but have been hosting people via another website(Couchsurfing) for over 10 years now.
  
  I am Karishma- an Indian living with my husband Arne (A Belgian) in a 150-year-old revival house in the picturesque area of Lyaskovets. It is in the Veliko Tarnovo region (14 km and 15-minute bus ride to the main City of Veliko Tarnovo. We also adopted a 2-year-old street dog- Burphy earlier this year who completes our current happy family.
  
  Cooking is my first love and eating and feeding are my second. Hence they go very well with each other :) While me and Arne both hosted and surfed galore on Couchsurfing (you can ask us for the link to check out the references ) over the last 10 years, we are now moving away from it, and looking at hosting people more long-term rather than for a day or two.
  
  If you like to see a small space transform in front of your eyes and don't mind getting your hands dirty, you will love this. Since the overall space is not massive, a lot of ground can be covered with basic tweaks within a short period

  Arbeit

  In our home in Veliko Tarnovo :
  - Outer Insulation
  - Backyard Cleanup
  - Pouring a cement slab in the backyard.
  
  Your stay: It will be in the house with us where you will get your own Private bedroom and bathroom + kitchen. We don't always stay here so it would be ideal if you can be self reliant and sufficient in terms of cooking (there is supplies in the refrigeratot) and ofcourse, welcome to join us in the meals we make when we do live there.
  
  We do not expect one person to be able to help in all, but depending upon capabilities, tackle what is possible.
  
  Hence we are excited to host work away Volunteers who have a bit of expertise and knowledge in Construction because we don't know everything about DIY and building...

  Unterkunft

  We are right in the middle of the country. If you like nature, walking, biking, birdwatching, etc... this is the perfect place. The city of Veliko Tarnovo- the Medieval capital of Bulgaria is beautiful and the house is in the heart of the old town.
  
  The most important thing:
  you should LIKE to help up to 4-5 hours a day, some days less- inside/outside. We ask all our volunteers not to smoke inside the house (only outside in the garden) outside
  
  We would like to highlight a few things in advance:
  - As a cross-cultural couple- you will receive hospitality which will be a mashup of cultures and food diversity
  - We are digital nomads ourselves and live and work online, Wifi is available in both our homes.
  - We are flexible with seasons- In summer you can be involved the art of Building, and execute your own ideas. In winter, we can engage in other activities inside the house.
  - We can not guarantee that you can always work with others or alone. It all depends on the season, weather, and our circumstances
  - We can have varied tasks, sometimes exciting, sometimes maybe boring.
  - We cultivate friendly relations with volunteers -the idea is to meet other travelers for a sustained amount of time each and create something lasting together with an exchange of culture and ideas.
  
  If the above fits your vibe- drop us a message :)

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  As digital nomads ourselves- we understand the importance and requirements that come with the territory. We have fast internet for this and can set you up with a work corner in the house as well.

  Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans

  Parking of cars and Campervans is easily possible outside the house- we live in a quite part of the town.- 100 meters away from our front gate- since we live down a lane.

• 

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  This is possible but with prior discussion to ensure all pets are comfortable. :) We can accept pets only with pior meeting with our doggy and if he gets along well with them. He was bullied as a stray dog and only allows his friends to enter his territory (he lives in our Yard).
