Description
My name is Kiko and I am 35. I live with my wife and kids in Saparevo, Bulgaria where we turned my family house into a dream home. After we renovated and started renting the house, we bought a couple more properties in the village and now working on them actively. We are looking toward creating a small community of young and driven people who raise their kids in joy and in accordance with the laws of nature.

Apart from learning some Bulgarian and exploring traditional Bulgarian cuisine, travellers will be able to explore the beautiful sides of Rila Mountain - The Seven Rila lakes, Rila monastery, famous thermal springs of Sapareva banya, several beautiful waterfalls, many forest paths leading to incredible mountain views.
For travelers who enjoy winter sports, Skiing and Snowboarding will be one of the best options from December to April with numerous ski resorts around. During the warmer months one can enjoy a traditional life in a small village side, where people still grow up their own food and prepare their own alcohol.

Help
You are welcome to be our guests in Saparevo, Bulgaria. We already have a couple of properties in the village and taking care of all of them takes time. Your help will be much appreciated.
Yearlong we have some small maintenance projects (renovating old furniture, fixing broken stuff, taking care of the swimming pool, giving fresh look to some parts of the houses, building up new features and more. During spring and summer, there are a lot of tasks in the backyards and in the veggie garden.
We would highly appreciate if any workawayer is interested in giving English/Spanish lessons to our 6 years old boy and baby-sitting our 1 year old baby.
