The month of December has been a slow month, a time for reflection in front of the fire with hot tea and good food. Our time in Shipka is at an end and there is an air of sadness in the volunteer house.
This month we have walked from Kazanluk to Shipka, hiked to the Shipka monument and the
Buzludzha from Shipka, and said goodbye to the school. It has been a month of clearing and cleaning, getting ready to say goodbye to the house that has become our home. We will be sad to leave!
This year has brought many ups and downs, challenges to overcome, and lots of personal growth. It has turned strangers into best friends and given us lots of holiday destinations in the future.
We will miss Shipka.
We will miss the wildness of Bulgarian nature.
We will miss each other.
We are grateful to Bulgaria and Open Mind for bringing us together and helping us create wonderful memories.
Sbogom Bŭlgariya.
