'Samodivtsi' is a word that cannot be translated directly. According to Wikipedia, The words samodiva and samovila have Indo-European roots meaning "divinity", "rave", "wild", or "rage". According to folklore, Samodivas can live inside trees or abandoned shacks or dark caves, or near rivers, ponds and wells. Mountains linked to the Samodivas include Vitosha, Belasitsa, Pirin, Rila, the Rhodopes, the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria and Rudina mountains. However, mountain Pirin is their traditional favourite. Samodivas enter the human world during the spring, staying until autumn. During the winter, they live in the mythical village of Zmajkovo.
However, we changed the female word samodiva to plural samodivtsi which is originally an incorrect word, but this was what we felt fit best our experience.
In unknown number of episodes we will be recording our adventure in this wild place found in a very small Bulgarian village, deep in the countryside.
It will be a journey of learning and hardworking.
This journey will be our pursuit of a more simple life close to Nature. We estimate so much work ahead of us, that we are not even sure if we could endure that.
Please bear in mind that this is not a how-to-do filming production, therefore, nothing seen here can be taken for advice.
