I feel I am standing at a crossroad...again. It should be relatively easy to post this here as most people are seemingly from the US and will not be interested due, apart from everything else, to the physical distance.

After 4 years I managed to build a little homestead comprising of a yurt that I live in the whole year round and 1.2 ha of land most of which has been unused as I mainly work on the computer. What I am missing is a partner. Not for the work itself, not only because there has hardly been any even in high season, but because I would be happy to enjoy the company of a nice someone who ticks in a similar frequency as I do.

There are hardlly any people in my age around. Why did I then end up living here? Well, I used to live for a numbe of years in the capital, went for a few months to Czechia but returned back ... regretfully. The reason I came back was I wanted to give it a try and build the homestead I had always been dreaming of. I should have been attracted by people instead of places. Because after fulfilling that dream in this particular place there is nothing more left here for me to pursue. Except if someone joins with fresh power giving me a reason to stay.

The village I am located in is an hour drive to Burgas (250K town) in a mountain valley (200 m asl). The yurt stands on a hill slope overlooking the village so you can enjoy beautiful sunsets and promising sunrises.

Hi mitko!
My name is Sera and I lived in a yurt I built for a decade, moving it annually with my sleddogs and child in tow, searching for the right people. Finally built a tiny house and this is second summer it is finished...but the gypsy in me doesn't know how to stop.
I wish we could teleport to each other to connect!
I have been drawn to Bulgaria mostly bc of dance.  A friend went to the Rila mountains and concurred I would. Never return to the USA: I am quite old fashioned for the scene here.

Good wishes to you for a happy summer!

Hi Sarah,

thank you for your kind message.
What attracts you to circle dances? BTW, I too got a (Bulgarian) friend living in Maine :)
I love the Rila mountains!
Woman living in a yurt and with sled dogs-that must be remarkable even for the US where folks are used to seeing crazy people daily :D
I recenty read someting that is still making me think about it: "You will only arrive when you stop leaving". But I also have hard times staying on the same spot for longer.
Thank you  for the wishes! Wish you a nice summer ahead too!

Circle dance is such a special communal event. while practicing seasonal rites often surrounds the practice with divine energy, it is also movement therapy that takes our conciousness to a deeper level. I have been circle dancing for 16 years now and my favorite has been Bulgarian! Folk tunes fun rhythms and those bouncy knees coupled with grounded feet rock my soul!
I love the language too, so beautiful: in Adje Jano for instance, " I would sell everything to dance the kolo"
Do you dance? I will facilitate dance as part of global circle dance day, here, on july 11!
Where in Maine is your friend, do you ever think of traveling to the states?
