Georgia

I was there in 2015 in old town hostwl in Tblisi, if Georgi is still working there say hi for me (he is a super friendly person and will tell you all about Georgia even the parts he hasn't been but knows from literature) ask for local food places which are super cheap and super good. Everyone was kind of willing to give you directions or advice but beware that if they offer "tours" it usually is very amateurish but it also costs almost nothing that it doesn't really matter.

Ask around with other travellers where they're going since they might know nice excursions. This was how I got to this place: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g1596951-d3321939-Reviews-Nato_Lado_Guesthouse-Signagi_Kakheti_Region.html
They're quite friendly and offer plenty of booze, it's best to travel here with others since Signagi is pretty empty but you can go for some heavy drinking. I walked over a car there funnily enough. Along the border with Georgia and Azerbeidjan there is an interesting walk with some monastery ruins and interesting monasteries.

I also really enjoyed traveling north along the military highway to the mountains as they were very beautiful for (day)hikes.

There were really many places to go to and the ones I mentioned were nice for the price they cost but they were also kind of low quality in many ways but it was onw of the best holidays I ever had because of the friends I made, but that was maybe just luck on my part.


An interesting side travel might be to go to Yerevan by night train (and drink a lot in said train) and explore Armenia for a week.

Georgia itself can bw thoroughly be explored in about 3 weeks in my opinion.

I hope you can use this information as it is kind of unstructured but I'm on my phone so I can't really neaten it up.

Peace, love and let me know if you need any more information.

i'd recommend a day trip to gori (stalin's hometown)

Borjomi has the best water I've ever hand, but Georgian mineral waters in general really delicious! Try em out! Ushguli seems like an interesting place, it's the strange tower village.

Noted, but the hostel seems to have only private rooms, was that the case when you went there? And looks a bit shady desu, but I'll keep it in mind.
>There were really many places to go to and the ones I mentioned were nice for the price they cost
Could you give some info on those places?

Nah, OP should swing by South Georgia and see the penguins and seals.
