Description
We are David and Lynn, when we retired we bought an old village house with 6000sq m of land in Bulgaria in 2022.
We are seeking to move to a more sustainable way of living. We have many projects waiting, lots in the garden and some in the house.. and a few simple construction ideas.
This way of life is new to us and we are looking to find folks who would like to give us a hand!! We love living here, the area is beautiful. There are a number of folk in the area pursuing similar dreams we sometimes gather to share ideas.
We love to share life with folk and frequently host local events.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are English, we’ve lived in the Balkans for over 25 years. The local community is diverse and the culture here is post-communist but poor and had very little investment.
It’s an eye opener but a wonderful place to be.
We are people who enjoy the company of people from different cultures…
