Georgia (aka Sakartvelo) 🇬🇪 is at a crossroads. Recent elections and protests over delaying EU negotiations until 2028 and the ruling party's closer ties with Russia (Georgian Dream --- more like Georgian Nightmare) have put this beautiful country in the global spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Plus, many have been unlawfully detained for fighting for progress.

We Drank the Famed Borjomi Water… Are We Invincible Now? 🇬🇪

Did you know that ‘Tbilisi’ actually means ‘warm place’ in Georgian? We booked a private room in one of the legendary Tbilisi sulfur baths for just 50 Georgian Lari (about $18 or €17) per hour!

Of course, we picked the kitschiest one we could find. So we stripped down, hopped in…and lasted a whole three minutes in the bath because, it was boiling! And yes, it reeked of sulfur. 😅

Then came the knock. Time for the kisa! 💥 Imagine lying on a cold table as you’re scrubbed down to shed all that dead skin you didn’t even know you had. Spoiler alert: we felt amazing afterward. 

But trust us—you want to book ahead, or you’ll be in the public bath…and that’s a story for another time!

We stayed in Tbilisi for a month and learned to navigate the confusing LGBTQ+ scene. While there are plenty of challenges, there is a sub-culture that is thriving.
What you should do before planning your trip and while in Tbilisi:
1. Understand the Political Climate: Learn about Georgia’s evolving stance on LGBTQ+ rights, including new 2024 restrictions and the strong influence of the Georgian Orthodox Church, as well as where to find pockets of progressivism.
2. Find LGBTQ±Friendly Areas: Discover the most open-minded neighborhoods in Tbilisi, including Vake, Vera, and Rustaveli Avenue, with tips on where to enjoy art, wine, and community in safe spaces.
3. Explore Tbilisi’s Underground Gay Nightlife: Dive into the city’s underground scene with venues like Mozaika and Bassiani’s “Horoom Nights,” where the vibe is Berlin-inspired, but a low-key approach is key.
4. Use Dating Apps Safely in Tbilisi: Find out which dating apps are popular in Georgia and tips for using them discreetly, with a look at Grindr, Tinder, and Hornet for LGBTQ+ connections.
5. Stay Updated on LGBTQ+ Events: Get the latest on Tbilisi Pride and underground gatherings like Bassiani’s “Horoom Nights,” with advice on following local LGBTQ+ groups for event updates and safety like @tbilisipride and @equalitymovementgeorgia

What to Know as an LGBTQ+ Traveler to Tbilisi 🇬🇪

🚨 PSA: Stock up on lactose pills before coming to Georgia 🇬🇪

How many khachapuris can we eat in Georgia?

For the uninitiated, khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish/Georgian food that's basically bread, but think of it like a white pizza-only way better. 

It comes in several regional styles, and here's the cheesy breakdown:

🛶🥚🧈 Adjaruli Khachapuri – A boat-shaped delight filled with cheese, topped with an egg, and a dollop of butter. You mix it all together for a gooey, savory bite! (Seriously, hope you took your lactose pills for this one).

🧀 Imeruli Khachapuri – Cheese both inside and outside the bread! It's basically a cheese explosion that'll have you questioning all your life choices-but in the best way possible.

 🧀🧀 Megrelian Khachapuri – This one takes things up a notch with extra cheese piled on top of the already cheesy bread. It's like Imeruli's fancier cousin.

🥐 Meskhetian Khachapuri – Our personal favorite! This one is unique with its light, flaky filo pastry instead of traditional dough. It feels like eating a cheesy cloud.

👑🧀🧀🧀 Royal Khachapuri – If you thought Megrelian was decadent, brace yourself for the Royal! This majestic version is an indulgent masterpiece, packing layers of cheese and extra toppings, fit for the true cheese royalty.

We're not ashamed-12 khachapuris in 21 days. Georgia, you've officially stolen our hearts and filled us with cheese! 💙

How Many Khachapuris Did We Eat in 21 Days? 🇬🇪

Just outside Kutaisi, Georgia, lies Tskaltubo—a semi-abandoned Soviet-era spa town that was once a luxury retreat for the USSR elite.

For a small bribe, you can step inside its decaying sanatoriums, including the hauntingly beautiful Shakhtiori Sanatorium, one of 25 scattered throughout the town. During its heyday, visitors flocked here for radon baths and “health treatments” backed by Soviet propaganda.

After the fall of the USSR, these grand buildings were abandoned, but they’re far from empty. Today, Tskaltubo is a photographer’s paradise, a destination for dark tourism, and a haunting reminder of the past.

Ready to explore this eerie time capsule? Watch now and start planning your visit!

Inside the Eerie Ruins of a Soviet Luxury Retreat 🇬🇪

After TOO MUCH Georgian wine, we made the spontaneous decision to hop on one of BBC’s World’s Most Dangerous Roads the following morning.

This is the road to Tusheti National Park. While only 72 kilometers to Omalo, the road can take 4-5 hours to navigate thanks to many treacherous roadblocks.

We were terrified, but in the end completely ecstatic that we did it, because at the end of the road is a raw, untouched wonderland.

Ever taken a ride that feels like a brush with death? 

Welcome to the marshrutka, the infamous death trap on wheels in the Caucasus. 

Packed to capacity (and then some), these vans promise a journey filled with bouncing driver seats, near-miss traffic stunts, and a fragrance that could best be described as… unique. 

Fear not, though-by the time you've survived this wild ride, you'll be richer in stories (and pocket change for wine). 

Would you brave one of these for the adventure?
