Description
===========
We are looking for help mostly for March and April 2026
===========
Hi guys! I am Andrey, a writer and filmmaker from Macedonia, passionate about nature and adventure sports. We built a tiny three-bedroom summerhouse a few years ago, with a vegetable and fruit garden, a fish pond (carp for fishing), and another pond which I would like to turn into a natural swimming pool this spring. Our land is big and I keep coming up with new projects I'd like to do, like a yoga and meditation platform on the massive trunk of our 200-year-old beech tree. We grow tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, herbs, cherries, quinces, apples, pears, walnuts, and hazelnuts and we have a few bee hives. I intend to turn this place into a tiny paradise for both humans and wildlife.
The house is surrounded by a beautiful mixed pine and beech forest, and being next to the border, the summits above us provide spectacular views toward the ranges in Macedonia to the West and Bulgaria to the East.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Spring is my favorite time in the Macedonian countryside. All our flowers and frut trees are blossoming, birds are coming back, frogs mate in the pond, it's a fairy tale. You can learn so much about permaculture, gardening, the local varieties of gardening cultures, birdwatching, keeping bees etc. This is also a time when you can forage for leafy vegetables in the forest and wild herbs and cook, dry for spices, or make herbal teas.
Macedonia is a place of fascinating folklore, and the region of Pijanec, where the guesthouse is found, is the home of UNESCO heritage folk dance called Kopachka.
There is amazing hiking and mountain biking in the region - I can give you my mountain bike, and some interesting villages and ancient ruins, both in Macedonia and a short drive across the border to Bulgaria. On the weekends I am happy to take you for a hike or visit a place of interest and show you around.
I am a filmmaker, writer, and amateur painter, and I am happy to teach you about all of this stuff, while my dad is an expert in traditional style stone and brick building and will happily teach you the basics.
Aide
As I mentioned above, I would like to turn one of our ponds into a natural swimming pool and build a stone patio around it. This involves digging, layering, moving stones, mixing concrete - it's a work that I personally find fun, but it requires a level of physical strength.

Macedonian is a south Slavic language related to and mutually intelligible with Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian. If you speak Macedonian you will likely understand a good part of the South-Slavic speaking nations. I am happy to teach you, but I am also fluent in English if you need to improve your English.
Hébergement
The volunteer stays in their own private bedroom with a double bed. On work days, there will be a cooked breakfast and lunch, and I will leave some food for you for the rest days.
Autres infos...
The house is remote, so expect to be surrounded by nature. There is good wi-fi. This is an LGBT-friendly environment. The nearest village is 5 km away. We are happy to give you a ride whenever possible or arrange a taxi for you. There are no buses. The tasks can be challenging at times - moving stones and pushing a wheelbarrow with concrete, so make sure you are up for such help when you apply.
