St. James’ Park
An Alternative Campsite and Hostel in Bulgaria
Welcome
St. James’ Park is a most beautiful field in a little corner of Bulgaira and I have the pleasure of taking care of it.
Have you ever been on a bus or a train in a strange country, probably going from one interesting city to another and watched the villages go by?
Have you ever wondered what goes on in those little villages? Who lives there? How do they live? What happens on a daily basis?
Maybe you’ve just thought about getting off the beaten track and seeing the inside of a country.
Are you conscious about your environmental impact or the ethics of travelling, tourism and foreign investment?
I’ve been a traveller most of my life and I’ve asked myself these questions many times. I’ve just embarked on an exciting adventure in Bulgaria and I’d like to share it with anyone else who is familiar with these questions – this might also be the first time you’ve thought about them but all good ideas and plans have to start somewhere!
I began almost 3 years ago with a plan to open an ethically run campsite and hostel but now I’m a lot more realisitc about my life, my energy and the space that I want to live in. If someone turns up and wants to camp in my lovely field, then that would probably be OK but I have decided to focus my energy on sharing this space for specific events. I guess this is a secret campsite - have a look at my blogs to see what else is secret in Voditsa!
We will be running “Yoga Camps” and “Really Exciting and Adventurous Holidays for Women” for about 4 or 6 weeks of the year and for the rest of the time, there’ll be me, volunteers and friends working hard and enjoying the beautiful space.
But we are available for rent for mini festivals and gatherings. Maybe you’re a member of a club or group; or you’re part of a big family or you’ve got lots of friends. Imagine if you all got together for a week, camping in a lovely space in an interesting part of rural Bulgaria. I dont have any set rules or ideas about this but if you’re interested in organising a mini festival, call me.

23rd May 2008I wonder if I am the first person in the history of Voditsa to eat rhubarb and custard – Birds of course.
If you have ever seen a flowering cherry tree and thought how wonderful all that glorious blossom is, I’m sorry but I have to say that peach blossom beats it hands down! Coming from […]
earthquakes and the guest from hell!
23rd May 2008We have a very unusual phenomena here right now – lots and lots of rain. Its not the professional rain that we sometimes get in the summer with great thunder and lightening – this is more like Manchester rain – grey, wet and boring. However it does come straight down which is something but trying […]
