Description
Hi I'm Darcy,
I spent 2024 in the Balkans volunteering and had a really great time. I came back home and now i want to head to South America for an extended period of time.
I'm from a remote part of Australia and love seeing and living in new places. After graduating with a business degree in 2018, I worked in a Government Admin role, since then I've worked at schools in Cambodia, Australia and New Zealand as a student support worker or boarding hostel staff and really enjoy it, but also enjoy anything new and different, especially in a new place. I have a minimalist and adventurous lifestyle that I'm keen to continue.

What a true joy it was hosting Darcy and his friend Katya. The two of them came to us as a surprise, after their arrangements had proven to be less than desirable. Around the same time, the workawayer we had planned had no showed. It truly felt like the stars aligned to bring us these two wonderful individuals.

I spent a great 2 weeks here. They took a friend and I on short notice (we were already in contact)
Jessie and Seada have a beautiful house, a garden with lots to do, fun animals.
The work was varied, we picked fruit, made preserves, weeded, planted, harvested, dug a canal, trimmed the yard and sealed a roof just to name a few.

Thank you, Darcy, for being a part of our hostel community! He quickly picked up on tasks, showing strong initiative and hard work from the start, and he was a fast learner in managing all the hostel responsibilities—from guest check-ins to maintaining tidiness and ensuring a warm environment. While he couldn’t stay for the full month as required… read more

It’s a nice cozy hostel with a stocked kitchen, books, board games and a homely feel. 1 big outside table brings everyone together and small nightly games and activities happen organically. When your on shift it’s just you so you do what ever is needed in the hostel and be the point of contact for guests then make sure everything’s tidy if… read more

Darceus, Darceus, Darceus... What can I say about you? Well, for starters, he is amazing. He is a very charismatic and curious person that enjoys developing himself and his knowledge, he is a hard worker, many times doing way more that what is asked of him, and he has also pride in doing a good job. You can rest assured that if you give a task to… read more

I had a really really good time staying 2 months here. Atlas and Ilir are great hosts and points of contact and I consider them good friends now that I could always return too. The food is delicious and experimental nearly always made from the produce you can get locally. The river is beautiful to swim in and the hikes to the cave and river are… read more

Darcy was a volunteer in our hostel for around 3 weeks. He was very helpful with any tack it was given to him. Always ready to help and very easy to make communication with. He was very sociable with the guests and his company was very pleasant.

I had an easy going good time in my 3 and a half weeks here. It was a little different to some workaways, they asked if i could do a few hours each morning rather than 5 days of 5 hours, but it worked out to less than 25 hours a week. They were happy to buy some simple things from the market for me, whatever I wanted, and often included me on… read more

We are so thankful for the time Darcy spent at our school! Having a dedicated, flexible and open-minded volunteer for two months is like we already had one more staff member who we as team could rely on. All of us (students and staff) were a bit sad saying goodbye to Darcy, but also happy for the friendship with him!

I had the best time here. It was my first workaway experience and I think it has spoiled me. The kids are a great way to learn about Bulgaria and they are so interested to get to know you that cultural exchange comes so easy. Your contribution to the school is whatever you bring to the table. For me it was playing piano with some kids, some… read more
