GEORGIA TRAVEL GUIDE
Introducing Georgia
I've traveled to almost 70 countries all around the world, and Georgia remains my favorite of them all.
Why?
First, culture. Georgia is a tapestry woven from thousands of threads from East, West, and Middle East.
Second, food and wine. Simply having a meal in Georgia is a journey. Oh, and wine was invented here.
Third, the stunning Caucasus mountains. Pure bliss for nature lovers.
I could go on, but instead let's get planning your trip to Georgia?
