Picture this: All the history, charm, and natural beauty of Europe, but on a budget that your wallet will absolutely adore. Welcome to Georgia (the country – seriously, don't book a flight to Atlanta by mistake), the world's most criminally underrated travel spot that you need in your life ASAP.
Here's why I can't stop obsessing over this surreal East-meets-West wonderland:
1.Eat Your Heart Out.
Georgian cuisine is beyond mind-blowing, and I'm not just talking about their world-famous khinkali (a meat-filled dumpling). Their love for herbs, spices, and all things cheese will make your tastebuds sing "Hallelujah." Oh, and be prepared to gain a few pounds because Georgian hospitality means your plate is never empty.
2.Wine? Yes, Please.
You haven't tasted good wine until you've sipped on Georgian vino. Blessed with the world's oldest (8,000 years, baby) wine culture, this tiny country knows how to make budget booze taste like heaven. Wine lovers, brace yourself - a whole new world awaits.
3.Shockingly Affordable.
Probably the coolest thing about Georgia is that you can live like a king or queen without breaking the bank. Posh hotels at backpacker prices, cheap scrumptious eateries, and wine that won't have your wallet sobbing. What's not to love?
4.A Live Action Postcard Landscape
The landscapes here are so Instagrammable it's almost unfair. From the breath-taking Kazbegi mountains bursting with postcard-perfect views to the charming streets of the ancient capital Tbilisi, your camera roll will never know what hit it.
5.Dive Deep into the Culture.
Georgia packs a punch when it comes to history and culture – Byzantine, Persian, Ottoman influences all in one! Visit monasteries like Gelati (I cried, it's that beautiful), or wander through the cobbled streets of UNESCO Heritage site Mtskheta. It’s like being thrown into a time machine, and I don't know about you, but I'm all for it.
