Living in Georgia

Beautiful mountains in Georgia, fly a kite in the dessert, and swim in the 5-star hotel's pool - here is our Trip to the David Gareja monastery complex. May 16, 2021 David Gareja Monastery complex probably is among the top tourist attractions in the Republic of Georgia you should visit. Located in the desert, bordering Azerbaijan this place provides very spectacular views. The best ways to get here are either by using your own vehicle or hiring a driver or booking a trip.

Day in Borjomi National Park - or we love to head here 2-3x times a year. Cool views, illegal dining in a secret restaurant, nice boutique apart-hotels, selfie-stick, trampolines, and of course a lot of mineral water. Decided to experiment with mobile + drone videography. What do you think? Should I do more like this? Drop me a comment!

Georgia - Never Miss a Moment - or we had an extended weekend, 4 days to keep us busy, made some hyperlapses in Tbilisi, learned to ride a scooter around the Lisi lake, climbed up to St Peters and Paul's monastery in Bolnisi, found some poppy fields, and wandered around The Chronicle of Georgia monument near the Tbilisi sea. Like, share, and enjoy! Filmed April 30 - May 3, 2021 DJI Mavic Air + Premiere Pro Music by Scott Holmes - Never miss a moment!

Lopota Lake Resort & Spa is ideal for those seeking a peaceful place to rest. Your personal piece of paradise is located in the Kakheti region of Eastern Georgia, surrounded by the famous Caucasus mountains, just 2 hours drive from Tbilisi, the nation's capital. Awesome weekend at Lopota Lake resort, made a few fly-throughs with a drone, night shots, and an active track. Spring is in the air. Music by: Urmuli - Suliko

Batumi Botanical Garden is a must-have to visit tourism attraction site when in Batumi. Botanical Garden is actually located at the place called Mtsvane Kontskhi ("The Green Cape") within a distance of some 10 km from Batumi city on the Black Sea shore, it is one of the largest botanical gardens in the former Soviet Union. With kiddo at the kindergarten, I now have some time to post-process some older files. Taken with DJI Mavic mini, August, 2020 Music by Scott Holmes: Positive energy More…

Colin (form a parent's group here in Tbilisi) shared a link to the spreadsheet containing a list of Georgian laboratories offering to make a test to diagnose COVID-19.  The list was published on the Agenda.ge website and contains the medical facilities name, and address, the original list also contains the e-mail of the facility (to avoid spambots harvesting the e-mail list here, I'm pasting info without e-mails) I don't have exact info, but for the test, we have to pay (at least in September…

I have been living in Georgia since 2011. During my time here I have been exploring the country, as an Indie traveler, crosswise from the pebbled seashore beaches near Batumi to the desert sand in David Gareji, and have gathered a great collection of my travel notes all across Georgia Also, I have been contacted zillions of times online asking Georgia-related questions, starting with how to get a residence permit and ending - is there snow in July in Georgia? (Yes, there is, somewhere atop…

Eat for fit is my favorite healthy food home delivery service here in Tbilisi. Recently these loss-weight / dietary food delivery companies have started to pop up like mushrooms in the forest after the rain here in Tbilisi. We have tried a dietary menu from Eat for fit twice - and both times the result has been excellent.  One thing should be added - we are the gym goers - and the great weight-loss results comes both from the physical activities and well-balanced food. Eat for Fit are great…
