I stayed the farm vazovo with Justin and his family for 2 weeks. across the two weeks i took on a range of tasks like harvesting vegetables from the garden and preparing them for meals and or freezing. I made jam from fresh plums in the garden and helped move around items between the houses. Justin has a lovely plot of land in the heart of a small but beautiful village. This was my first world packers experience and i immediately felt at home and welcomed by Justin and his two sons. I would recommend this to any travellers in the area the village and Justin are definitely worth a visit!!!

This place is truly one of a kind. I didn't expect so much in a countryside like this. We did stargazing on the hill and caught sight of many shooting stars. I tried mountain bike (with Justin), which is really exciting and fun. And you can try paragliding in the mountains nearby. The tasks vary a lot, from housekeeping to gardening. I'm fond of harvesting in the morning. It's so delightful to see that, with patience, your efforts pay off. Justin is also truly one of a kind. I really enjoyed my time here. Thank you!

This was my first volunteer experience abroad, and I can say I was very welcomed. I've learnt about planting and dealt with specific gardening tasks that help the farm to flourish :) Though many people find being vegan hard, it is not and Justin can prove it! We've eaten loads of delicisious dishes but also cooked ourselves. But be ready for the true countryside life with unstable internet and spiders🤜🤛 overall, I'm really grateful for such a warm welcome and bicycle rides!

My experience in Bulgaria with Justin was amazing! He cared a lot about his volunteers, was always there when we needed help, and gave us great suggestions on nearby sights to see. My travel partner and I spent our time there pruning grapes and gardening which was very fulfilling. We also loved the cultural exchange and all the time that we were able to spend with him and his sons. I would highly recommend this experience, thank you Justin (:
