    Description

    hi there, my name is Barry. I am Irish and moved here about three years ago. I'm not yet full time to BG, as I am between work in the UK and here on my land. I would much rather be here full time, that's the dream, with the help of volunteers hopefully.
    I am situated very remote, away from all the hustle n bustle. It's incredibly beautiful. About an hour east from Sofia, in the Balkans close to Pravet's. I have a stunning view which should be shared. I have some interesting projects happening now, near to completion and can be totally enjoyed soon, i guess I am talking about my hot tub with a view :). I have lots of great work happening, mostly in the garden, and i can welcome anyone who could be interested in a visit.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    we will all benefit through human interaction and interacting with nature. I am living at a very precious place, and it should be shared, so we can all benefit. Can teach about the history of this area, or at least my Bulgarian neighbour can, jajajaja

    Help

    All types of help is needed, though anyone interested to volunteer here should love animals, especially dogs. I have seven dogs, two cats and a bunch of hens. Help includes gardening, animal care, and other projects depending on the volunteers skills. I want things to be interesting and fun, so anything is possible. I enjoy the ideas of others, and I enjoy cob work which is definitely easier with a team :)

    I think food and sleeping arrangements can be worked out better when we speak, but please feel assured that i'm a fair person and want to give you a nice experience and make friends :)
