Здравейте! Bonjour! Hej! Hello! Hallo!
If you are looking for a place to prepare for the world that is being shaped right now, this it it.
Freedom, resilience, independence, common sense, peace, honesty, integrity, trust, humour are some values we share and strive to keep from going extinct. It takes courage, mental and physical strength, determination, patience, empathy, focus and humility: but it is worth it.
We are not trying to get the most likes on Facebook or the record of smiles on Instagram.
We are not trying to be cool, or original, or trying anything at all!
We just do the things we need, and the things we like, and make sure we can keep doing them on the long term.
It involves growing food, building and maintenance, taking care of animals, playing music, doing sports, hiking, watching movies, discussing topics and new ideas... developing a plan B for the long term, which involves no more electricity, internet, gasoline, tap water...
Without ideology, without taking sides, just with our good old common sense and a sense of humour!
We strive for balance between the old, traditional ways, and the modern comfort.
If you wish to take a break from the insane pace of the modern world, if you like to do real, meaningful stuff, if you like to be among humans, animals and nature, if you want to help and be helped, confront life, yourself and others without denial or correctness, and if you are looking for a place to build your own resilient future, please do not hesitate to contact us!
We are a bunch of really kind people living in a small Bulgarian village, with nature all around. All of us are very different, but we share these values mentioned above. But most of all, we want freedom, and peace.
We speak many languages and there are many, many different things to do around.
There is space for short and long stays, and even some houses and land plots for sale... ;-)
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Just from the fact that we are Bulgarian, French, Swedish from different generations and backgrounds gathered in one place makes it really enriching.
Also the Bulgarian countryside is very unique by the peace, safety, freedom, and inspiration it provides.
The Bulgarian people are such warm-hearted, communicative and honest that they cannot leave you indifferent...
We all have lots of stories, lots of ideas and lots of questions... and lots of time for exchange and share. Time for being here and now, time, this precious, almost extinct luxury...

Unterkunft
There is space to sleep in the saloon, on the second floor of Kalle's house.
We also have space for a person or a couple in my guest room.
Meals will be provided and shared, we will organize it on the spot, we're real easy and generous, and it's really no matter demanding complex solutions.
Was noch ...
We have a car that we share with my neighbour, we do not use very much so it will be at your disposal when it's available!
The closest town, Elena, is very pretty and calm, and about 15 minutes away. There is also a village down the road with a small store for basic products. The nearest city, Veliko Tarnovo, is about 35 minutes away, and is magnificent.
The forest and (low) mountain is just down the street so there is a lot of hiking around, fishing, mushroom and fruit picking, bathing (river and dam), we have bikes, bows, punching bag, an air rifle, music instruments, art material, woodworking tools and machines, and soon horses. The saloon is ready and you can chill there and/or play music.
Every Sunday morning we go the the local food market and then we play a bit of football for fun.

I (Pierre) am personally working online for a call center, so does one neighbour, and we actually have 2 available internet connections that are pretty decent. One of them is actually very good considering the location.
Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans
It depends on the size of the vehicle, we can discuss it case by case.
Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen
This is probably easier to discuss case by case!

A half day of work, 5 days a week seems fair. We are very, very easy and flexible.

At first, because she is unapologetic, tough and speaks quite loud, I thought she would be an arrogant vegetarian English lady who would just get annoyed by my own French arrogance.

In the yard I meet the other workawayer, Pierre and Kalle. We all start scything together and everyone finds their own pace and way to do it.

At first she was obviously very shy and feeling uncomfortable for not being more social, but as time went on she got more relaxed and became a very pleasant companion! She even started to enjoy rakia which she despised before coming…

Whether it was while sharing a few froffies, working hard or just being together, having him around is a real treat.
The man is so kind, polite, grateful, ready to help, and in such a good mood all the time, I would be amazed to ever see anyone give him less than 5 stars!
Okay, maybe he could get… read more
This was my first workaway experience (and first solo traveling trip), and it fulfilled everything I was hoping for.

Her energy and mood is one of a kind. She stirred our peaceful little routine in a way we had never experienced before, and it was an amazing experience. Aude is very artistic, sensitive, talkative, hard working, funny, generous and dynamic.

He is very friendly, autonomous and easy-going. Although he won't provide you with the greatest of physical strengths, his will to work and to help is compensating for his somewhat frail physical condition.
He also has an eye… read more
