Georgia
An ageing backpacker in a digital world

Georgia

Both of the videos I made in this little country paint a glowing picture.

One is set in the capital, Tbilisi, and the other one recalls a walk I did in the Svaneti region of the Caucasus Mountains. I particularly liked both of these destinations, which is why I made the videos. With regard to the country as a whole, here are some pros and cons:

Pros
  • Cost – very affordable
  • Safety – no worries
Cons
  • Limited options for flying in and out
  • The weather in the mountains is much wetter than the rest of the country
  • The political climate looks shaky

On balance, I have to say if you can get there, it’s definitely worth a look.

Come for a wander round the back streets of Tbilisi. We might find some hidden gems.
