About the workproject

We need 1 volunteer

We have a small house in a village in south-east Bulgaria which are gradually turning into an eco-project (permaculture, sustainability).
We're looking for helpers for
- Housework (cooking, cleaning, tidying, food preservation)
- Gardening (seasonal tasks: mowing, weeding, landscaping, planting, composting, watering, mulching...)
- Construction (small projects, e.g. convert the old outside toilet into a composting toilet, build a small pergola from reclaimed materials)
- Maintenance and repairs (various small jobs around the house)
- Pet care (rescue cats and dogs)
Tell us what areas of work you're interested in, and we'll try to allocate this kind of work to you. If you're a couple, you can work in different areas according to your skills.

The placement is suitable for a single person or a couple. Work hours are flexible. We ask for 25 hours a week, and you can choose your own schedule.

No smoking in the house, please.

Please apply only if you are fully vaccinated agianst Covid-19.

I'm an author, writing non-fiction books and ghost stories. I love nature, organic gardening, history, the arts and animals.

As a German, I lived and worked in Britain for much of my life. I came to Bulgaria to fulfill my sustainable independence dream and create my personal flowering, fruiting organic paradise.
I train cats. (Have you ever met a trained cat? You may be surprised. Yes, it's possible to train a cat - if the cat wants to be trained. My kitties love it.)

I'm a truth-loving introvert vegetarian.
