Drink mineral natural sparkling water. Spa retreat. See if you can meet someone that shows you some relative doing the traditional dance !! They are proud of it, it's a beautiful expression of their culture and it means a lot !

How safe is Mestia for women?

It’s quite safe town, don’t even remember the last time any crime happened here, town is small and people know each other, so they respect everyone. Town is great in any season, strongly recommended.

Mostly feel safe, but there is a layer of men 45+ often in a drunken state (especially in the evening or on holidays) that makes you feel unsafe around. Unwanted flirting, compliments and trying to get a number are the most common. The locals have pretty strict notions though, and you can always ask for help from the nearest person who can stand up for you

About me

Been drifting between countries for the past few years: making coffee, building stuff, teaching kids. I like figuring things out with my hands and jumping into whatever’s needed. I’m happiest out in the wild - long hikes, sleeping in a tent, cooking something weird over a fire. Still figuring it all out, but so far it’s been a pretty good ride!
