Im Swedish and would love to travel to Georgia some day (hopefully in a couple years after I finish school). Georgia seems like a beautiful country with great culture, nature and food that I would like to try and see. Because of this I have some questions about traveling to Georgia:

How do Georgians feel about tourists, are they welcome? Is it different for different people (Swedes for example)?

How safe is Georgia for tourists? I know Russia have stolen land and that there is a conflict about Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Are these regions to avoid because of safety and political conflicts? Also I know a Pro-Russia party ”won” the recent election, does this affect safety?

What places should tourists visit and stay away from? I would like to see the mountains and churches of Georgia are there specific places to go to if you want to see this? Also any other recommendations for beautiful places?

I would also like to see and take part of Georgian culture, like to see the traditional Georgian/Caucasus dance style ( I don’t know what it’s called) and what foods/drinks/wines should you try? Most people online say Khinkali and Khachapuri but I would guess that there is loads more to try. I’m also a fan of martial arts/mma/wrestling, and I know Georgians are good at this so would a foreigner be welcome to train at a Georgian wrestling/mma gym? Lastly, is horse riding a part of Georgian culture as well (I know some other Caucasian countries have) and could tourists for example get a horseback tour in the mountains?

If there is anything else to know before visiting, let me know!

Would be thankful for any answers 🇸🇪❤️🇬🇪

Is possible as a foreigner to go to Sukhumi? Are there chances you can get kidnapped once you're there?

გამარჯობა, ვინმემ ხომ არ იცით ნორმალურ ფასში რამე საოჯახო სასტუმრო მესტიაში. 5 დღით მინდა ასვლა და დაახლეობით 150-200ლარში რო ჩავჯდე ეგრე მინდა. მადლობა წინასწარ

What’s the main reason people drive around without bumpers? It’s not about how old the car is, for example, this Jeep is new. Do cars not have insurance? Do drivers/police don’t care?

I never thought I'll face problems communicating in English in Georgia. I come from a place where English is our third language but we communicate just about okay. However, 10 days so far in the country and it's been a quite a pain. The only perfect English speaker that I could communicate with (without awkward hand gestures) was a primary grade school student (around 11-12 years old) at a cultural museum in Tbilisi. Other than that, from taxi drivers to waiters to receptionists, it has been quite hard to communicate properly. Do you guys study English at educational institutions?

What's the rule of thumb for tipping at restaurants and taxis? What percentage of the bill is considered a good tip?

Hello!

I'm planning to spend the whole winter (Nov-April) in Georgia, just to finally have a long break. Will 1,200 lari be enough per month with rent being already covered? So expenses like food, going out (but rarely), museums, random activities.

For now Batumi will be my home based for November and December, but the idea is to visit other towns or cities during the weekends.

This plays at the Batumi Dolphin Show. Can anyone tell us anything about this song? OR, a good group to post in to ask?

Hi everyone. I’m a Jewish girl who’s in the beginning stages of a relationship with this gorgeous guy from Georgia. I haven’t told him that I’m Jewish yet, but I would like to at least mention it as it’s an important part of my identity. I don’t think that it will be a very serious relationship, so typically I wouldn’t expect religious and cultural differences to be an issue.

But, I am still curious to know what he may have learned about Jews growing up. What were you all typically taught about Jews and Judaism in school, church, media, etc? Are Jews regarded as a religion or an ethnicity, or both?

I have done some research on the experiences of the Jewish community in Georgia, you all may be interested in reading this short overview. There was a large population of Jews in Georgia, but now the community is very small. Is the history of the Georgian Jewish community at all included in national identity? How is the community regarded today?

Obviously, the current war against Gaza and Lebanon is deeply troubling, and has worsened the perception of Jews around the world. How have typical Georgians reacted? Was there any sympathy for the victims of October 7th?

I live in an apartment with a number of American-Israeli roommates, and I wouldn’t want to bring over someone who would be hostile or uncomfortable in the home that I share with my friends. How would you expect a typical Georgian to react when meeting someone Israeli? One of my roommates has put up a sign honoring the hostages, would you expect a typical young Georgian to react negatively?

[For what it’s worth, my politics are against the war and the apartheid policies, but I don’t think that Israel is an inherently evil state. Jews have as much as a right to self determination as Palestinians do.]

Thanks all for your courtesy and help. I really like this guy, and I hope he will be open minded about my culture.

We were looking for olive oil to cook, but the only bottles of proper extra virgin olive oil were between 50 and 60 lari. The others were either a mix of sunflower oil and olive oil (only 20%) or very low grade olive oil and not extra virgin. Georgia borders Turkey where great and relatively cheap olive oil is available.

So does anyone have a good olive oil hook up that is good quality, extra virgin and does not cost an average monthly salary?

Hi, Good Day. I would like to ask how much does it cost usually to charge a TESLA in Tbilisi as I couldn't find any information about it on the Internet. Thank you.

I didn't really pay much attention before, was our government always like this - trying to get closer to Russia? Because before the Ukraine war I thought we were still getting closer to EU. If so, Did the government get scared of another war, or did Ivanishvili only now reveal his true intentions with this country?

Looking for a shared apartment with separate bedrooms. Comment or Dm if available.

hi everyone, i decided to try my luck with this subreddit and im hoping to get somewhere. my airpods (3rd gen) case with my left airpod in it fell out of my pocket (i believe, at least) at around giorgi saakadze square (thats where find my says it was last seen, but i'm assuming it fell on the street around kfc and spar which is right across). i only have my left bud, and im really holding onto the hope that someone found it and is looking for its owner. i hope this reaches somewhere!!

As an expat, would you recommend living in Khelvachauri, specifically in Fridon Khalvashi?

I found a decent flat there and it's got pretty much everything but I'm still unsure whether the area is suitable or not

Any advice?

P.S i don't speak russian/georgian
