Demo and Tono are the most incredible hosts! Never did I think while backpacking I would be hosted by such kind, generous and lovely people. Simeon is an amazing kid - he is smart and curious and has endless amounts of energy. Demo and Tono made sure we were able to experience everything Southern Bulgaria has to offer and we loved every minute of it. One thing for sure is that we will definitely be back in the future!

This experience was truly one of a kind. Demo and Tono are the most generous and giving people who make sure you are looked after and comfortable at all times. They are genuinely excited for you to explore their country and provide everything you would need to make this happen. Simeon is truly unique and an intelligent kid filled with curiosity. He is like a sponge absorbing information and with blow you away describing scientific processes at five years old. if you are even considering volunteering with them - this is your sign!

Demo and Tono are such a kind and generous couple who made me feel included and welcome from the very first moment. I truly enjoyed every moment with Simeon; he's a sweet, curious, and intelligent boy, always looking to learn something new. All the facilities that the family provides to volunteers are incredible, and I couldn't be more grateful for this experience. I hope our paths cross again sometime! Thank you again for everything 💗

Staying with Tono, Demo and Simeon was a special and enriching experience. Simeon is a very energetic kid, motivated to learn a lot. We made so much interesting things that at the end of the day I also learned new things. Nearby the beautiful moments with Simeon, demo and Tono gave me a lot of opportunities to see the area in which they live. Schedule and housing changes are happening from time to time and required flexibility so if you love spontaneity is this place perfect for you! Tono, Demo and Simeon you have a special place in my heart.
