Description
Help needed in peaceful rural location in Bulgaria
Hello, I am British and live in rural Bulgaria with my 5 dogs and 2 cats. Due to a change in circumstances I am struggling to manage my home and garden and caring for the animals alone with physical limitations. I'm in a beautiful natural area great for exploring, walking and just peace. Only 17 km to the nearest town. My home is warm and cosy and I am a great cook! I'm looking for ongoing help from someone physically strong with a clean driving license and able to care for a big garden, do bits of DIY, chop wood, carry heavy bags and general maintenance. You'll be well looked after and share my home with all mod cons and have your own double bedroom. I won't need help all the time so you'll have plenty of free time. The role is very flexible and dependent on needs and season.
Prefer someone older, loves animals, especially big dogs.

Help around the house

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. 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
Help
Mostly gardening and home maintenance such as painting, fence repairs etc. with a little help with animals. Driver would be useful but not essential. Some easy DIY projects that need finishing, tiling/plumbing repairs. Someone physically strong as there will occasionally be wood to chop, and heavy items to move. If you do have a clean driving license, I will sometimes need to be driven to places so a confident driver able to drive an SUV. I would like to realise some ideas in the garden and complete a couple of projects and help with this and any ideas you have would be a great help.

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. You will have a lot of time to explore.locally and further afield and should be able to manage your time so you have every opportunity to soak up the culture. 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.
