Kozycamp

The challenge ? it is to transform the Sleeping Beauty's property - unoccupied 15 years before our purchase in January 2022 - into a GREEN CLASS ECO-CAMP with French language to reconnect Bulgarian schoolchildren with our Mother Earth. And... during July and August, as the children are on vacation, it will be adults' turn to recharge their batteries in the heart of peaceful nature in our Bed&Breakfast / eco-camping. Wild plants and sourdough bread workshops, eco-DIY and discovery walks of our ecosystem will be proposed throughout their stays.

We are located in the center of a lovely quiet village, Rogozen, 170 km north from Sofia. Here, the most famous and fabulous gold and silver Thracian treasure was discovered in 1985 : 165 pieces !(exposed in Vratsa's Museum, 40 km from RogoZEN)
Main accommodation (grocery, minimarket, bar, pharmacy) are at 3/5 minutes walk.

Our first intention is to share experiences and knowledge with people from every horizons ! Our staff is .... My husband, Marc :) our 30yo daughter, Marianne and I, Sophie :) to welcome you ! We would be happy to welcome 2/3 persons, friends or not (2 private bedrooms are at your disposal or a tent if you prefer to sleep under the trees, listening the nightingales and be awaken by the storks chattering their beaks or the cackling of pheasants), and even, couples in love (with nature) ;))) We offer you accommodation in our comfortable guest house or we provide a tent in our so quiet garden, your choice. Just... please, note that the sanitary facilities are outside and were completely renovated during summer2023. We offer you lunch or dinner, and there is all the basic dry food in the kitchen for several quick meals if you prefer to stay alone, quiet :)). We would like, from you, to help us 4 hours a day/4 days (no more) : for all types of rural tasks : * RENOVATION, PAINTING * GARDEN CLEARING, * PERMACULTURE PLANTATIONS, * CLEANING AND RESTORATION OF SMALL BUILDINGS FOR ANIMALS, * ETC, ETC, ETC......... On Saturdays evening a barbecue / campfire evening is our tradition :) Welcome to the musicians !!!

Fue mi primera experiencia con worldpackers y fue increible, Sophie y Marc me recibieron con mi hijo con los brazos abiertos, nos sentimos como en casa, cuidar de sus mascotas fue hermoso, son unos animalitos muy tiernos.
El entorno fue mágico, amamos el lugar, la casa, la rutina que establecimos durante el tiempo de estancia, la amabilidad de marc y sophie y por supuesto de su hija.
Mi hijo tuvo la experiencia de poder expresarse en otro idioma y empezar a sostener conversaciones, lo cual es increíble.
Solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento para sophie y marc, los llevo en mi corazón.

coming to work in the countryside was a challenge
and I loved it

marc and sophie are wonderful, super welcoming people who were a pleasure to work with.

the setting is great, the bulgarian countryside is very calm and the people are very nice. The accommodation is great, the two little ones are so cute.

marc, sophie and their daughter marianne showed us the beautiful country they decided to move to and I could only see good things in the way they talked about the country. it makes you want to stay there!

The experience was amazing, Sophie and Mark are super nice people who treated us perfectly. They let us 3 free days a week for visiting Bulgaria and also recommended us activities. We learned a lot working with them, and if we had any problema they always tried to help. I recommend the experience a lot.

-Sophie and Marc are marvellous, flexible, empathetic, open-minded, friendly... The work-time was the accorded, they helped us a lot (also organizing trips), Sophie cooks amazingly...
-We've learnt many sustentable renovating skills.
-Our house was beautiful and cute. It had a great balcony and a dishwasher (the only bad part was that there wasn't a WC, only a "letrin": similar to a hole on the floor)
*And this isn't about volunteering, but we spent much money on transport and hostels (as it's a village, you can't come back on the same day)
To sum Up: we're very thankfull, you're wonderful

It was an unusual experience. Thanks to Sophie and Mark for making my stay as comfortable as possible. Sophie is a great cook, it was cool to try so many new dishes for me.
