Description
We are a young family of 4 with chickens, cats, and dogs looking for volunteers to help us reach our goal of building an off-grid haven in rural Bulgaria! We are learning the Bulgarian language and also teach English, so we can offer language lessons among many other things to our workaway volunteers. Our children (aged 2 and 5) are home-educated, so every day is about learning through fun, adventure, and challenges!
Our home is nestled in the mountains of Northern Bulgaria in a small village surrounded by pine forests. Visitors can expect to see woodpeckers, red squirrels, and various other beautiful species during their stay. We are a vegetarian family, so we don't cook meat on the property. Cooking is one of our passions and we try to use locally sourced ingredients where possible alongside fresh eggs and herbs from our home.
If you are interested in experiencing rural Bulgaria in a quiet, authentic village, then let us know!
