I am Badri Gogitidze, from mountainous Adjara. My village is located in the lower Bzubzu, 300 meters above the sea level. When I step outside in the morning, sometimes foggy and sometimes green mountains unfold before my eyes. Here all the goodness in the world is gathered together: the mountains and fresh air, clean water, historical monuments.
My morning starts at 6 o’clock, I ‘m trying hard to make time for everything – so that I can take care of the house and the farm. My little house, mountains & valleys and the hazelnut garden, that’s what I can’t imagine life without.
If you would like to really experience rural Adjara and feel like an Adjarian you should definitely visit us in lower Bzubzu.
