Definitely not what you expect

When I came to Georgia, I was looking for a challenge. I definitely got that and more.
It's not exactly for the faint of heart; crowded and run-down mini-busses, questionable hygiene, and general confusion is what you're going to find. However, there's three main lures here: the nature, the excitement, and a peek into a politically and historically exciting region.
You'll definitely have enough money to travel within Georgia, and you'll soon wonder why the Caucasus Mountains aren't more renowned. And you don't even need to hike or travel out to them. The mountains are always visible, and you're bound to travel through them even.
Its also exciting since its a pretty fluid society. You can get around and what you need without much trouble. This make it easy to hang out with friends, party, and just come across new and exciting lil' adventures day-to-day. If you've google'd this country, you've probably read about the hospitality. Yes, its true. Get ready for free food and drink sent over to your table time-to-time, easy new local friends, and fun trips.
As for the politics and history, its developing super quickly. Its been ranked highly by the world bank, and even Donald Trump has invested a ton of money into the country recently. And all this is built upon a turbulent modern history, creating a very interesting look at country which won't be in its current state for long.
