    Description

    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!

    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!

    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!
