Description
Hello, I live in South east Bulgaria with my 5 dogs and 2 cats on the edge of a village, surrounded by acres of fields, trees and hills, great for exploring, walking and just peace and tranquility. perfect if you like quiet evenings at home, lovely on warm summer nights outside just watching the stars and listening to the crickets and night birds singing. The nearest town is 17km away with all the facilities we need. I'm looking for help to maintain my large garden and do bits of DIY and general maintenance around the house. Occasional help with the dogs would also be useful so an animal lover is essential. You'll l have your own double bedroom and share the rest of the house. Daily chores in the garden each day with other work as needed, approximately 4 hours per day. The role is flexible and dependent on needs and season.
Prefer someone older, laid back and flexible who loves animals, especially big dogs, doesn't mind getting dirty and sharing dog hair and enjoys the quiet life. There is not much opportunity for partying or a social life in the village but nearby towns have lots to offer that you can enjoy on your free time. .

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you decide to come and help me you will have comfortable, warm and cosy accommodation in my home and will be well looked after with all meals provided. I am a good cook and will provide healthy balanced meals twice a day. Plenty of free time to explore this area of natural beauty, walking, hiking, cycling, one hour from the beautiful black sea coast, close to Turkey and Greece for exploring further afield. Bulgaria is a very culturally diverse country, something for everyone to discover. If you need time and space to chill out there is a separate office/craft room where you can try your hand at paper crafts, or listen to music, meditate, exercise or watch tv. I'm happy to drive you to the bus station whenever you want to go further afield
Help
Mostly gardening and home maintenance, weeding, planting, ground preparation, grass cutting, painting, fence repairs etc. with a little help with animals. Driver would be useful but not essential. Ability to use garden tools an asset. Occasionally there will be wood to chop, tree trimming and other seasonal tasks, any skills you have in these areas would be greatly appreciated

What else ...
Located in a rural village with limited daily bus service. Main city with transport hubs 40km away, local town with all facilities 17km. Very quiet area with the property located on the edge of the village. Little to do in the evenings so if you enjoy watching TV, playing board games, reading or just chatting and chilling its the ideal spot. I am happy to show you around and drive you to the bus station if you want to explore further afield on your free days Bulgaria is steeped in history too and there are museums, galleries and throughout the year there are festivals, cultural events and open air concerts. You could even learn Bulgarian! The people are friendly, inquisitive and welcoming. The capital is a 4 hour bus journey and well worth a visit.
