[Romania] Brunch in Bazna and Short Trip to Mediaș and Dumbrăveni
If July and August are, for us, months when we run for the high mountains to escape the summer heat, May is for villages and relaxed country side, with good food, lots of outdoor activities for grown ups and kids and a warm sun for extra good vibes. Mid May, we took off from Sibiu…

[France] Paris – 18th and 13th districts with Le Vrai Paris
We’ve been to Paris several times before, even for longer periods of time, but the city never succeeded in attracting us, mainly because it’s super touristic and crowded and quite expensive. We never managed to get the true Parisian vibe, to understand what this city is actually about, leaving aside La Tour Eiffel, Champs-Elysées, Musée…

The Georgian Cuisine
Gastronomy was one of the main reasons we decided to visit Georgia. With influences from the Caucasus region, Eastern Europe, the Mediteranean area and the Middle East, it looked like our favorite mix of flavors, spices and herbs.

[Georgia] Days 6 and 7 – Tbilisi
Tbilisi needed less than 2 days to convince us that it deserves to be in our top cities in Europe to come back to and explore more. We had the same connection with this place as we have been having with Belgrade for the last couple of years. Still not very touristic, super easy to…

[Georgia] Day 5 – Caves, canyons and waterfalls
Our 5th day in Georgia was dedicated to exploring a bit the area around Kutaisi. As there’s plenty to see in the region, monasteries, caves, canyons, lots of forests and roads going up and down, we had a full day of staying outdoor, walking a lot and admiring the view.

[Georgia] Day 4 – Kutaisi and dinner in Kursebi
Our 4th day in Georgia started, as usual, very early, although we didn’t have that much to drive, but still we wanted to have a full day of exploring, especially since the sun was up and the sky was clear.

[Georgia] Day 3 – Uplistsikhe and dinner with the locals in the Imereti Region
Our third day in Georgia meant about 300km of driving, coming down from the mountains and heading to the center of the country. It was a full day of driving, with a couple of stops on the way, but it still was enjoyable as the weather was nice and the view kept us busy the…

[Georgia] Day 2 – Road to the mountains
One of the main reasons we wanted to visit Georgia was the Caucasus Mountains. We were initially thinking of hiking for a couple of days, but in May when we were there it was still quite cold and the snow hadn’t melted yet, so we had to change our plans a bit, but still managed…

[Georgia] Day 1 – Wine Route – Sighnaghi
Our first day in Georgia started very, very early, after a night flight that landed in the Tbilisi Airport somewhere around 4 AM. We picked our car, got a Georgian SIM card and officially started our one week road trip with a proper sunrise.

Road trip in Georgia
When we were telling people around us that we planned a trip to Georgia (the country) for May this year, most of the questions we got were: “Where is that on the map?” and “Why would you even consider going there for a vacation?”
