I love that place. I stayed there for 6 months. The people, food, and scenery is amazing.

[@tricksandtrips]

Wow Tbilisi, great choice!! Spent 6 months in Georgia (2 months in Tbilisi, 2 in Bakuriani, 2 in Batumi) and really liked it. You could try to visit Batumi which is by the seaside and it's very lovely in the summer. It takes like 5 hours by direct train and costs only $10. If you want some indian food in Tbilisi, please try Khushi Indian Restaurant, it's the best Indian I've ever had! Enjoy Tbilisi, a place that'll stay in my heart for a long while!

[@liketop_pranks2878]

If we don't call a truce. In a country where it is forbidden to speak out loud, the only thing you can do is dig graves and die at the same time. Before the elections, in Spain itself, support Russia. What is Russia's fault? Children of mothers are dying in a war that was started to vent negativity on the people and to group a platform on which to make money for the West and get rid of the Russian and Ukrainian people. Have you come to your senses? Are you enjoying the genocide? You are emotionally in Europe and the West, but at this point no one understands, the place of reasoning, they are doing to continue the war that is genocide of the people over the people of Russia and Ukraine, which hinders the politicians and authorities who steal and divide the money after the destruction.

[@usuallyroamingrob3427]

Great comment, I've had a taste for Indian. I'll go here tonight. its right near my airbnb.

[@tricksandtrips]

@@usuallyroamingrob3427 I'm sure you'll love it, let me know how it went!

[@tricksandtrips]

@fermatichebellosei1595 Georgian food is great wherever you go, basically. And what is the issue if I recommend a good restaurant that is well known even to locals? People get angry for anything nowadays Jesus.

[@usuallyroamingrob3427]

@fermatichebellosei1595 maybe because he knows Gabe likes Indian food?

[@TravelbyDartTV]

Great city! It's like living a place where every corner is a potential Instagram hotspot, and even the street cats seem to have perfected the art of posing. There are few bucket list countries I haven't visited yet in European region and hopefully, my location finder dart wouldn't fail me.

Wow, Georgia, nice country. I haven't been there yet but as I saw the Scenic Hunter video about Georgia - there are surely nice mountain towns with towers in Mestia and Ushguli. Also Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) was high on the list.

[@stefan86wtf]

Hah, we've been traveling similarly for quite some time now. We were in Transilvania at almost the same time earlier, and I was in Tbilisi last week :) Georgia is such a wonderful country!

Thought you`d end up there at some stage in Georgia,Gabs....certainly a must.Was due to fly out to Tbilisi in,Feb 2020 ..guess what happened ? A FEW days later ,would have got stuck there during lockdown...so, i must complete that journey...

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Just WOW!!!! I so love Georgia & this amazing & historic city of Tbilisi. Like you Gabriel, I so love & enjoy global travel & since seeing this video, I'm itching to see Georgia & Armenia. I really want to visit Tbilisi & I know I'll get there next year, but this year I'm heading elsewhere. Such a very interesting country & this lovely city is full of awesome cultural surprises & the food is so very good. It's always great to see you visiting varying countries & in this instance, It's truly interesting, as I'm a huge fan of Georgia & Tbilisi. Actually, I took numerous DNA tests & I keep seeing Georgia & some neighbouring countries appearing in my results. And apparently, inherited from my Father's side of the family, so for me, super surprising, fascinating & interesting & I feel deserves some further investigating. Thanks for sharing your travel journeys & here's wishing you well. Peace✌

[@carolynboston9715]

I have been waiting for this :) Since I'm heading to this country in two months for my 40th birthday :) I can relate to the airport taxi situation. That's why when I travel to a new country, I sometimes ask my hotel to arrange a pickup or I'll arrange a pickup online, especially if I'm arriving late at night. Yandex was the car-hailing app I used in Armenia, which I believe will work in Georgia as well.

[@126days]

Much prefer videos like this where it does not start with a preview. Better vibe for me, I try to skip over it on the other videos.

[@augustiner8029]

Thanks Gabri…for sharing such a wonderful trip in Gerorgia.

[@StartLivingNow1963]

Another Awesome Adventure Gabriel🙂

[@Victor_31_]

The US dollar has lost about 30% of its value against the lari in the last year or so. That makes price comparisons tricky even if you visited the country fairly recently.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

That could explain it, also it's gotten more popular in the past few years, especially since a lot of Russians have arrived.

[@Victor_31_]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos That is certainly one of the factors but overall tourism is still below the pre-COVID level. 30% down, if I recall correctly the official report. So, if the new resident Russians choose to avoid touristy places and the “real” tourists are fewer then restaurants and hotels would try to raise the prices for compensation… Something along these lines :)

people who don’t understand graffiti here because they think nothing has the right to exist unless it makes a $profit. the people who truly deface our neighborhoods are the companies that scrawl giant slogans across buildings and buses trying to make us feel inadequate unless we buy their shit.

[@Verity888]

I took the bus from Tbilisi airport to just outside of the old town for $0.60. Bus stop just outside of arrival terminal to the right. It even took Apple Pay so I didn’t have to exchange $ at airport.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah if I'd arrived earlier in the day probably would have hopped on the bus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZewhqiunpp1Y7c

[@george_davituri]

Nice city with wonderful food ✅

[@mariahamilton5305]

The main place I remember being ripped off by a taxi was, funnily enough, Vancouver! But I much prefer getting the bus or train over a taxi, for the same reasons you give. You know where you stand, you're not going to go the wrong place, and, on top of that, there are usually a reasonable number of people around and if someone tries to take advantage of the clueless foreigner, someone else will often step in and stop it.

[@Andrij_Kozak]

30 Lari is the real taxi price from Tbilisi Airport to Tbilisi.

[@nikaqpqpqpqpqp]

GOD BLESS GEORGIA❤

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, the first thing that strikes me about Tbilisi is it's a diverse city. The world is changing for those who want something different in terms of where and how they want to live. This trend will continue because people seem to want to experience something else than what they have around them. So culturally we will see this mingling of the masses that will invoke a fusion of innovative ideas. That's what traveling will do, allowing us to embrace a world you couldn't expect otherwise an intense stimulus.

[@erikoberg7859]

For beeing someone who travels for a living you are sometimes very ignorant "Uber doesn't work here" While a Bolt car passes by in the background at almost the same time. There are other ride hailing apps outside of US you know.

[@amare3740]

This Gabriel Guy is a high roller!

[@susanmulholland5715]

Hi Gabe theres no doublt about it countries financially are changing fast the price of that meal seems high to me even taking into account prices going up in many countries with inflation in the last year through out europe hopefully prices will lower some what once you get out of Tbilis and into the country side /mountains areas ,the price of Tbilis accomadation seems reasonable enough though, i think thats possibly why i thought the price of that restaurant meal you had seems high to me if compare to the price of hotel rooms such as yours Whats the price of drinks ie beer wine spirits ect .Happy travels Gabe

[@DaveGurjiani]

Very stylish City!!!!! And Georgians are stylish!!!

[@nah922]

Very nice city, but I wouldn't categorize it as cheap a destination unless you compare it to the US, Scandinavia or Australia and so. It's sad to see how the cost of living is rising tremendously across Europe. I'm from Albania and personally I think that part of the world (the mediterranean, the balkans and the surrounding countries) brings together the best climate, cuisine and culture but decided to settle at south-east Asia at the moment where life is much more affordable. But I hope to go back to a mediterranean country one day when the cost of living will be reasonable just as it was a few years back.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Prices are definitely on the rise, more expensive than I expected. Accommodation is still quite affordable though which helps a lot.
