Georgia, Family travel
There I was feeling safe, despite the fact that I’m from Russia. I recommend to take some excursions to different places near Tbilisi and also visit national museum of Georgia and national park. Food is really good and the size of plates is enormous! I’ve spent about 250 dollars on my own. I was staying in boutique named “old manufacturer”, the owner of that place is a really good man — he was very attentive and presented me a cake for my birthday. Almost all the time I was traveling on foot, but there is a subway — very cheap but old
