I had a great experience at Rayne's place. You should definitely come if you're in search for a calm isolated place to get in touch with nature and permaculture. Connection to other towns won't be an easy task, but you'll be able to disconnect from society easily while there. Mainly you'll be able to have conversations with Rayne, which can teach much about her field of knowledge. Also you'll have 2 super friendly dogs that will tag alone with you wherever you go for a walk or run to make you company. I recommend this experience, but don't hesitate to ask me for details 😃 thanks Rayne!

Rayne was a very welcoming and knowledgeable host (as were her dogs), and we felt at home during our visit. She helped us immerse ourselves within the local culture and people, and we were lucky enough to be given opportunities not often available to tourists. We learnt a number of various skills and would recommend this host to anyone looking to learn more about permaculture and Bulgaria itself.

Rayne welcomed us with open arms, providing us with 3 delicious meals a day, so encouraging us to help ourselves to the kitchen whenever we wished. We gained about permaculture and sustainability. Rayne was an excellent teacher, we learnt a variety of practical skills, including using a chainsaw, felling trees, harvesting seeds, creating dead hedges, transplanting trees etc. Rayne immersed us in local culture, offering experiences with Kirilovo clothing, Kukeri masks, and a visit to a village with healing stones. Rayne's place offers a unique blend of learning, culture, and furry friends.

I spent a month in this placement and I can honestly say I'll be applying many of the skills I learned in the future. Especially about gardening and permaculture. Rayne is very knowledgeable and was happy to teach us everything she knows. This also includes about Bulgaria, it's culture and many other topics. There is a lot work to be done but seeing it all come to fruition is very rewarding.

A very rewarding experience for anyone wanting to learn about gardening and permaculture. There's a huge variety of work to be done here and I've picked up a lot of new skills and knowledge from Rayne, who is keen to share her expertise and immerse us in the local culture. There was a Kukeri festival here during our stay and we had the opportunity to try on the costumes.

Amazing experience, had the opportunity to be submerged into the local culture, make Bulgarian friends and even learn a bit of the language. The host knows a lot about the culture and history of Bulgaria. Bulgaria is a beautiful country and the locals are extremely kind. Чао България, Благодаря за Всичко !

The project of the project is a great place to learn about gardening and permaculture. I for one have never really gardened much before so it was good experience. It also a good place to see rural Bulgaria and it's history.

With Rayne I had an amazing time, even during winter I had the chance to learn about Permaculture. She helped me a lot to reach the village (it's in the middle of nowhere, quite hard to reach it, you only need to ask). The task are suitable for volunteers that just want to tear down invasive trees with an axe and build things, and for those who want to be creative and do artistic tasks, cook, plant flowers and clean the project. The host is able to communicate: a not so common ability on worldpackers. You just need to be able to spend a lot of time alone, apart from that I completely recommend!

This was a truly rewarding experience! The work you put into this project will have a lasting effect on yourself, and hopefully the host and local community. Rayne is a wonderful host, with a vast knowledge on the local culture. She took me to Yambol and treated me to a Bulgarian meal! The town is in a remote area, but the project pets are really good company. You can also hike to and explore a nearby Village, or take a minibus to a bigger town. I would love to visit again in the spring or summer time!

The village is away from big cities so this is the perfect moment to connect with nature and learn a lot about permaculture. The host will make time to show you the real Bulgarian culture and the village. It's necessary that you love animals, there will be dogs and the project to pet. This is a cool experience and you will have time to explore Bulgaria or even Istanbul.
