  Description

  Anna, 46, I am an artist.
  Very sociable but also I enjoy to spend time by myself.
  I live in a house with my mother 70 and my niece 22 in a town called Rakovski:
  
  30 min. from PLOVDIV-one of the most beautiful and famous Bulgarian towns in the country. There you can see:
  Ancient theatre
  Plovdiv Roman Stadium
  Plovdiv Old Town
  Bachkovo Monastery
  Regional Ethnographic Museum
  Ancient Philippopolis
  Mevlevi Hane
  The Clock Tower
  Asen's Fortress
  Church of St. Konstantin and Elena
  Dzhumaya Mosque
  Plovdiv Aviation Museum
  Walk Plovdiv's Hills
  Traditional Bulgarian fare
  Mavrud Wine and Rakia
  Plovdiv Roman Theatre
  One of the world’s most intact Ancient theatres, this building is still in use almost 2000 years after it was constructed.
  The OLD PLOVDIV: Plovdiv’s six hills rise like big humps from the body of the city. Car-free cobblestone streets of old Plovdiv are a joy, where traditional homes blend with Plovdiv’s roman ruins.
  Bachkovo Monastery
  Just past Plovidiv’s southeastern reaches, outside the town of Asenovgrad, is this monastery founded in 1083.
  Bachkovo is the second-largest and oldest Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria and brings together Bulgarian, Georgian and byzantine religious traditions.Here there are frescoes from the 1300s, one depicting Tsar Ivan Alexander of the Second Bulgarian Empire.
  Asen’s Fortress
  A short drive or bus ride southeast of Plovdiv will take you to a medieval castle that teeters on the edge of ridge over the Asenitsa River.
  
  I speak Bulgarian, French and English and a little German

  Help

  I am looking for help to revive a small house and developing artistic project in pottery.
  I also need someone who can repair an old external almost falling down wall and make shelves and also someone who can realise a mosaic on another exterior wall of the house.
  ...some general help in and out of the house and the atelier.
  Ideally looking for someone with good knowledge of pottery or mosaïque and in particular I will appreciate a person who knows about/practice RAKU.
  But just a nice/independent person with wish to help could be great aswell.
