Lesson 23: Planning Your Own Self-Guided Road Trip across Georgia (the Country)!

In this week’s episode, I talk about my own experiences planning and taking a self-guided 10-day road trip across the country of Georgia with three friends in July 2019. What is the country of Georgia like? Is it worth going? What’s it like to do it completely on your own? Join me on this solo episode to learn more about the history, the food (OH THE FOOD!), the people, the places, the capital of Tbilisi, and the prices in this fascinating country that is still off the radar for many travelers our there. Come with us on the road in Georgia and you just might fall in love with this amazing country! 

What we cover in this episode:

  • A brief history on the country of Georgia
  • Becky’s tips for the capital of Tbilisi – transport, sights, and places to eat
  • How to prepare for a road trip in Georgia (what to bring, the car rental company we used, etc.)
  • Great things to eat in Georgia (including wine!)
