Browsing through my photos of Tbilisi, Georgia, was a slightly surreal experience. Was I really in Tbilisi last summer? Did I actually spend four days in the Republic of Georgia, a tiny country located on the other side of the world?
I wasn’t in Tbilisi long, but immediately, I was smitten. Georgia’s capital city is quirky, colorful, and full of street art — a place where you are as likely to stumble upon a trendy wine bar as you are to find a flea market full of dusty Soviet relics.
Also, if you aren’t already acquainted, please meet Khachapuri, the boat-shaped, cheese-filled dough ball you’ll see below. It’s a delicious dish native to Georgia that I fell in love with. And it’s probably the reason I gained five pounds on my trip to Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Russia.
Here are some of my favorite photos of Tbilisi, and ones I hope will inspire you to visit someday:

These photos are amazing – definitely makes me what to go! Especially that cheesy bread egg butter combination food… NOM.
It was SO good. Highly recommend it (and Tbilisi!)
I am absolutely dying to visit Georgia, it is seriously at the top of my list of more random travel bucket destinations! I got obsessed with khachapuri and all things Georgian cuisine a couple of years ago. A little closer to home, but there’s a great Georgian restaurant in NYC in Alphabet City called Oda House :)
I’ll remember that for my next visit to NYC! Georgia is INCREDIBLE. Far away but so worth it!
