Workawayer needed from July until December ( one month minimum), only 3 hours of work per day ( light renovation work, optional with no experience needed) but mostly help with pets ( affectionate dogs +bunny) and garden.
Self help breakfast + coffee&tea. IDEAL for DIGITAL NOMADS ! Very good internet connection,
The house is a large old village house with lots of bedrooms, the Workawayer ( up to two welcome) will have lots of space and their own private bedroom.
I have a big garden and very good internet connection.The house is not luxurious but totally livable.There is a well equiped kitchen and flush toilet and "environment friendly toilet and a summer shower.
I have a big garden, dogs and a bunny.We are still busy with general renovation work.
There is lots of space where a volunteer can sit and work, study, or just chill. The house has space for up to 2 volunteers at a time.
Groceries and fresh products like milk, bread, cheese, and veggies are all available in the village at the local grocery stores. There is a gas (propane) stove in the kitchen and you can bake bread or make homemade pizza if you want to.
There is a coffee shop and a restaurant that serves local food about 1km from the house.
There is a park very close to our house where there is an outdoor gymnasium! A river is also not far from our house where locals fish or go for picnics.

It will not work for people who are not comfortable with country living and those who want a lively social environment. It is a very peaceful environment BUT the city of Vratsa is an hour of bus ride away and Sofia a bus+ train ride away for those who want to visit it on weekends.
PERFECT for some one or a couple who wants to live in the countryside and want quite and peace while working or studying online or those who just wants to have country living experience.
You must love dogs, as our dogs are very much people loving, most of them are non- shedding , and hypoallergenic. You will get lots of doggy love and cuddles!
Help
Workawayer can help with light renovation work like giving the old doors a new coat of paint, plastering and painting the outside walls ( not experience needed) but mostly it is general pet and garden care.

Accommodation
Volunteers will get their own bedroom, use of the large kitchen, the bathroom with a summer shower ( water is heated by the sun) in the annex, next to the house.
We have a nice porch with chairs and a dining table where you can have your meals if you prefer to eat outside, but there is also a dining table and chairs inside the kitchen.
The balcony upstairs is comfy and very peaceful; where you can drink coffee and listen to the birds singing or just sit and chill.
As we are still renovating and we must note that the house is not luxurious but a country house in a village. The house is comfortable and livable. It is in a rural quiet and peaceful village with a beautiful river running through it.
Self help breakfast, coffee and tea is included in the stay, 3 hours of work maximum per day.
What else ...
In their free time helpers can visit Vratsa or Sofia with public transport.
There is a beautiful river running through the village, close to our houses. it is a nice place for walking or for picnics.
The local coffee shop has great frappe and coffee, locals are there every day and some do speak English.
There is a good restaurant that serves local food for a really affordable price.
If you want to live in a very peaceful rural Bulgarian village and love animals this might be for you!
