Description
My wife and I live in the small village of Malina, 30 minutes from the northern beaches of the black sea. We are both retired, British, and have lived in Bulgaria for 19 years.
We have quite a big garden with swimming pool and separate guest accommodation. We have one friendly dog, five cats, six chickens and two ducks. The area is very quiet, rural and with wonderful bird life

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The local villagers love to talk about their life and we can introduce you to them. There are many traditional festivals throughout the year including the lavender festival in June. We love to attend these festivals and would be pleased for visitors to attend with us.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
The help we are looking for is general gardening (mowing and weeding), cleaning (around pool, chicken coop etc). We like to go away for a few days at a time and our animals would just need feeding, walking and generally being loved.
We would like to add a small duck pond inside our chicken and duck pen in 2025, so are looking for help to create this.
