Most Desirable Country Overall…

Georgia — The Republic of Georgia is fast becoming ‘the’ tourism hot spot for travelers in the know in Eastern Europe. And for good reason. The Georgian people are some of the most welcoming and warmest we’ve ever met, the cities and culture are dynamic and storied, the tucked away villages and ruins draw you in with their authenticity and charm, the nature is dramatic, and the food… the food is truly one of the world’s most under recognized culinary gems. We’d return in a heartbeat.
