    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

    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 :)

    Depending on what the volunteers requirements are, i have some different options. I have a room with a mezzanine, where the bed is situated, otherwise I have a van which can be slept in.
    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 :)

    Food will be provided, three meals per day. We can cook together or take it in turns, all diets are welcome.
