Arrived in Georgia.
Already from its neighboring countries, I’ve been well-informed about its growing popularity as a travel destination. I feel I’d need to stay here over a month in total. I’m excited about what I’ll see. (I already ran into an army of sheep today)

In my experience, there is a much higher demand for the train during the summer months – especially on weekends and holidays. If you re travelling in May-October, I highly recommend buying tickets at least 5 days ahead of time, either through Geotrend or by going to the station in person. In winter, you might be able to get away with buying tickets the day before or the day day of travel like we did. When we travelled from Yerevan to Tbilisi in July 2019, tickets were in high demand. On the Friday we arrived, there were only 6 tickets left for the train that day, 2 tickets left for the Saturday train, and 22 remaining seats on the Sunday train.
