  Description

  I live on the outskirts of a small village near to Sredets, Burgas on the Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. The land is 9000 m2 with beautiful views of the rising sun and sunsets and the sound of sheep & cowbells. The village has a church and school and 2 small food shops.
  
  I have building my dream house, the roof and windows are now fitted. The Ground floor is finished, except for the radiators, which need fitting.
  
  I need help in all aspects of finishing the minor works of the building and clearing some of the land in preparation for a garden and for growing organic food. I have all special equipment, which may be required.
  
  Visitors are welcome to stay from May to October but I am looking for minimum stays of 7/14 days.
  
  I love cooking and eat healthy, from all types of Indian, Chinese, French and other food. I only eat one main meal in the evening but have no problem with people preparing there own breakfast and lunch, I am equally happy to sample the cooking of others, if they like cooking.
  
  Over the last 27 years, since I became aware, I have learned many "spiritual" practices and much about holistic health, Dowsing, Magnotherapy and Reiki. I am passionate about sharing what has helped me on my journey to better physical and emotional health and to becoming a more compassionate and loving person. Although I have problems with walking.
  
  The Local main town is Sredets, which has everything you could want. On Tuesdays and Thursdays is Market day,
  
  When the sun is out I like to go to Burgas or one of the nearby sea towns for the day and spend 3-5 hours on the beach then have a meal at one of the local restraints.
  
  Some time Mussel diving and back home for Moules Marinière with cream, onions, garlic and parsley and of course wine.

  I offer a workaway exchange of 20-25 productive hours per week in exchange for only 3 meals every day. The food is nutritious and healthy and delicious. Tea/coffee also provided. Wine, beer and spirits and any luxury items you have to buy yourselves.
