Tbilisi, Georgia...my gosh what a gem! Living in Yerevan is a super easy trip to get up to Tbilisi, the capital of Gerogia, so lots of my friends have done the trip a few times to get a change of scenery.
This is actually the beginning of another 4-5 weeks of straight traveling - I decided to finish the Birthright program much earlier than expected because I was getting a bit antsy to continue to travel and see more of this region and the Middle East and cross a few places off of my bucket list. Tbilisi seemed like a beautiful place to start.
I think I was moreso excited to get out of Armenia and experience a new country and culture, which is why I loved Tbilisi so much. From all of the beautiful and vibrant cafes and restaurants, to wine country, the mountains, and the coast, Georgia as a country is sooo underrated and I highly recommend adding it to your list. All of these are what I thought made it such a great place.
I spent 3 days and 3 night in the capital exploring and sight-seeing, going to cafes, eating good food, and drinking good wine. I also spent a day in a northern city called Kazbegi (just south of the Russian border) and was absolutely blown away by the mountains up there. I cannot say enough about this day.
This episode features an interview with Konstintine, the owner of the hostel I stayed at in Tbilisi. He was born and raised in Tbilisi and is a true local through and through. I hope you all enjoy this one!

I thought it would be appropriate to kick off this podcast with the place that I personally love and call home: Chicago! Being born and raised just a few minutes north of the city in Evanston, I experienced the city first hand growing up by constantly going to Cubs games at Wrigley, begging my parents to take me to all of the fun museums, and walking up and down Michigan Ave any time of the year. Now living in Lincoln Park just a couple miles north of the city center, I love experiencing everything that the city has to offer.
With a population of 2.7 million people, the third largest city in the US, Chicago boasts world-class architecture, beautiful parks and trails that run along Lake Michigan, a die-hard sports fan base, unique arts, comedy, and music, as well as an endless restaurant and bar scene. I've lived here my whole life and I still have yet to run out of new activities to get into in this ever-evolving city.
This episode features conversations that I had with two good friends who are not from Chicago but moved here after school for job opportunities and how they transitioned to the big city. I hope our passion for Chi-Town rubs off on you in some way or another - enjoy!
