Descripción
We are a not so young couple with a baby looking for some hands on help in our home, 15 minutes away from Veliko Tarnovo.
Opportunity Details: Household help requested in and around our home while we juggle parenthood and sometimes balls are dropped.
We're offering a private room on a separate floor in our home, plus shared meals (groceries also provided).
Hours are flexible,all coordinated in advance by communication.
What We Offer
- welcome you as a friend
- explore Bulgaria when not helping us
- cultural exchange: Share stories, Bulgarian home life, cooking (we love Asian/Indian recipes); we've hosted Couchsurfers before.
More about us:
We are a married couple from Belgium and India crafting a life for ourselves in Bulgaria since 6 years now. We are not new to hosting people via another website(Couchsurfing) for over 10 years now and meeting helpful people through Workaway has helped us create countless memories, forge genuine connections while also getting some help in and around the house. Our daughter and a 4 year old rescue doggie complete our small family :)
Our town of Lyaskovets offers all that a true country town has to offer - friendship, laid back lifestyle, yet still has all that might be needed (multiple supermarket, clinic, sporting facilities, etc). My husband & I have also travelled the world extensively before putting down root here - so understand the itinerant lifestyle and we both love meeting new people and sharing with them.
Expectations of the workawayer: Please scroll down for details under 'Help'
We respect your privacy as much as our own and understand if you want personal space and time outside of the babysitting and simple housekeeping tasks. We all need to decompress away from the bustle of family life so there is no pressure to join us outside of the help itself.
If you did want to join us, we would be happy to share our culture with you, introduce you to local food and experiences, recommend/suggest local places to visit for your free time, advise on transport and even show you around the area when time permits. We have an expats circle we could connect you to and take you out to as well to kick start a social connection outside of home as well.
We prioritise clear and two way communication to ensure expectations are clear without ambiguity and comfort is prioritised. We have a mindset of gratitude and respect and while we hope the help itself is fulfilling, the true joy is in the connections we make with you :)
Thank you for reading our profile, we are excited to welcome you here!
We are always available for any questions you may have :)

Ayuda
Our hands are pretty full with our little one but we try our best to also help balance with other household responsibilities in and around the house which sometimes gets overlooked. We have a beautiful garden that needs some upkeep, like pruning, deweeding, a garage with storage that needs organising and decluttering and a home that needs some light cleaning.

Alojamiento
House Features & Amenities for you:
Private bedroom with fast WiFi and bathroom. Shared lounge area. This is in the ground floor of the house and private from the upstairs where we live.
The floor above is where our and our daughters bedroom is and also has a shared full kitchen with an oven and 4 stove induction cooktop plus another wet room and a spacious balcony overlooking our garden, also shared.
Local Community and grocery stores: Safe neighbourhood, neighbours keep to themselves but are friendly, less than 1 minute walk to the grocery store, 10 minute walk to the town centre, 6 minute walk to the closest bus stop that goes to Veliko Tarnovo, Gorna Oryahovitsa or cross country travel.
We are right in the middle of the country. If you like nature, walking, biking, birdwatching, etc... this is the perfect place. The city of Veliko Tarnovo- the Medieval capital of Bulgaria is beautiful and the house is in the heart of the old town
The most important thing:
We ask all our guests not to smoke inside the house (only outside in the garden).
We would like to highlight a few things in advance to ensure both you and us have a comfortable experience when sharing our home and life for the time you invest with us:
- As a cross-cultural couple- you will receive hospitality which will be a mashup of cultures and food diversity.
- We make meals, some simple, some elaborate when we can. Guests are welcome to join us, or make thier own food using the supplies in our kitchen for lunch and dinner. We prefer guests to be independent enough to handle breakfast on their own.
- We are digital nomads ourselves and live and work online, Hi-Speed Wifi is at your disposal, helpful if you work remotely too.
- We like clear communication and strive to be as clear as possible when confirming duration (decided after we discuss what you are looking for and what our circumstances at the time allows us).
- We cultivate friendly relations with volunteers -the idea is to meet other travelers for a sustained amount of time each and create something lasting together with an exchange of culture and ideas.
If the above fits your vibe- drop us a message :)
Algo más...
You can explore the whole country from here alone via the Bulgarian Railway. Closest Railway station is Gorna Oryahovitsa, a 6 minute car ride from our home or a 15 min bus ride.
The whole country is well connected to Veliko Tarnovo by bus as well. Lyaskovets and Veliko Tarnovo has buses to and fro every 20 minutes from 7 am -8 pm. There are lots of Waterfalls, hikes, nearby. Veliko Tarnovo is 14 kms away.

As digital nomads ourselves- we understand the importance and requirements that come with the territory. We have fast internet for this and can set you up with a work corner in the house as well. I have quit smoking, while Arne vapes but always outside the house.
Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas
Parking of cars and Campervans is easily possible outside the house- we live in a quite part of the town.- 100 meters away from our front gate- since we live down a lane.
Podría aceptar mascotas
This is possible but with prior discussion to ensure all pets are comfortable. :) We can accept pets only with pior meeting with our doggy and if he gets along well with them. He was bullied as a stray dog and only allows his friends to enter his territory (he lives in our Yard).

We were able to share a few afternoons with them and it was enough to know that they are good and kind people. This is also reflected in their friendships, which they introduced us to from the first day and they' re all beautiful people with whom you can share a good time and a nice chat.

Don't be fooled by the few reviews they have on Workaway, these guys have a huge experience in hosting people, mainly through Couchsurfing, and it was clear from day one. So welcoming, nice, and easy going.

The weather made it hard for us to do much work but we helped where we could.
As the weather improves and their various projects develop there will be plenty of varied tasks to do and I have no doubt they will take a flexible and responsive attitude with future workawayers. They're just lovely… read more
