The Experience

Hi, we are renovating a former hunting lodge on the edges of a large forest, we are off grid, water from a spring, it’s very quiet and secluded, 2 miles to the nearest village. We are very weather dependant, work is general renovation and household chores to cutting up logs, gardening etc we CANNOT be rigid with days and hours worked, but we try out best, and works out at 25 hours per week, over how ever many days it takes.

The home is a very quiet and peaceful place that will allow you to disconnect and enjoy the warmth of home. Rose and Lance make you feel truly at home and are always there to help you with whatever you need. During my stay, my tasks were mainly cleaning the house, general maintenance and sharing with two hamsters and a beautiful kitten🤍 I highly recommend this volunteering if you want to get to know the north of Bulgaria. (In addition to reaching your destination, a wonderful train trip awaits you🌱🚞).

Rose and Lance are excellent hosts, both very funny who made us feel welcome at all times. They both have a nice home that requires a lot of work, so I invite you to help them. The tasks were mostly entertaining, mainly gardening and maintenance and Lance was very kind to teach me how to use some tools. Work hours depend on the weather but are respected and you have enough free time to relax by the fire and watch a good movie. the home is a lovely place (especially covered in snow) and the train ride from Sofia is beautiful. It is also a few train stations from Ruse, which is a beautiful city.
