The breath of Pirin

The ‘ Team Building Activities in Pirin’ weekend was a surprise from start to finish for me (and perhaps for other volunteers too). We went there to meet the other people in the project we’d never seen, in a place I had no idea what the place was going to be like.

The scenery was varied and reminded me of my home in France, and more specifically of the Vercors, with its mountain lakes and rocky peaks.

The evenings were warm moments when people got together after a day of travelling or physical effort, and some played music by the fire while others took care of the food. It was an intense three days of sharing energy with each other, but it was also very warm!

I’m also very grateful to have been in a national park in Bulgaria, in an area that has perhaps only been slightly modified by human activity over the last few decades.
