Description
Hi! We are Halley and Gencho, a young couple who moved to Bulgaria after being Digital Nomads for a few years. We are living in a village near Veliko Tarnovo, the medieval capital of Bulgaria.
We recently moved to our own place and we're in the beginning stages of refurbishing the house and creating a sustainable garden. We have big plans and need lots of help!

About us:
Halley studied Peace Education and spent several years volunteering with CISV. She is a freelance voice-over actress and English teacher for kids. She loves doing any kind of art (knitting, painting, henna, etc) and is especially interested in herbalism and gardening.
Gencho is an engineer and spent several years working on organic farms. He is an audio editor and postural restoration trainer. He loves playing chess and running.

We were both Workawayers ourselves in several places when we were traveling, and now that we have our own place, we want to be the kind of hosts we wish we'd had!
Help
The main tasks we need help with in the spring/summer are preparing firewood for winter, gardening, basic construction and rennovation, and keeping the house clean and organized.
We also welcome Bulgarians who can help with translation and language tutoring.

We are both trying to learn Bulgarian and our primary language is English. If you want to improve your English we are very patient, understanding, and non-judgmental.

What else ...
We live close to the beautiful city of Veliko Tarnovo, which has so much to explore- including a river and trails, old fortresses and archeological sites, a major university, and lots of shops and restaurants. The closest town is a 15 minute drive and has a train that goes to the city regularly, and we go to the city at least twice a week. Our village is quite small but peaceful, and there are lots of fields around with walking paths.
Please note: We have no tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.
As a voice over artist, I need to stay healthy to be able to work. If you are or have recently been sick we cannot host you, and if you become sick while you are with us we will have to ask you to leave.

Veliko tărnovo is a cute and small city, easily passable by buses or taxis.
I recommend this host because they knew how to put me at ease and I thank them for that ☺️
