Family travel experience
I went to Armenia and stayed in an AirBnB. There was so much history there and it was a beautiful country. I went with family, one of whom lived in Armenia and spoke Armenian and Russian. Those are the languages known, rather than English outside of Yerevan. There were beautiful ancient churches and Lake Sevan was gorgeous. Getting around the country was challenging. We rented a car. It was a beautiful place.
