The What Makes This Place Great PodcastA look into what makes YOUR home great. Author: Nicole Darian
Ive always had a fascination with meeting and engaging with locals throughout my travels in the US and around the globe. Without fail, locals always display a sense of pride and rave about the place that they call home. This has led me to constantly wonder where, in fact, is the most ideal place on earth to live? The answer to this question begins with you, as a local of your city. What is the cost of living like? Are job opportunities plentiful? What is the current economic/government situation like? Are there ways to engage with the local art scene? Is there a strong fandom revolving around a certain sport or team? Good public transportation? Are you in a big hustling and bustling city or a remote environment? My goal is to examine, what really makes the place where YOU live great.

#13 - Tbilisi, Georgia
Sunday, 5 August, 2018
Tbilisi, Georgia...my gosh what a gem! Living in Yerevan is a super easy trip to get up to Tbilisi, the capital of Gerogia, so lots of my friends have done the trip a few times to get a change of scenery. This is actually the beginning of another 4-5 weeks of straight traveling - I decided to finish the Birthright program much earlier than expected because I was getting a bit antsy to continue to travel and see more of this region and the Middle East and cross a few places off of my bucket list. Tbilisi seemed like a beautiful place to start. I think I was moreso excited to get out of Armenia and experience a new country and culture, which is why I loved Tbilisi so much. From all of the beautiful and vibrant cafes and restaurants, to wine country, the mountains, and the coast, Georgia as a country is sooo underrated and I highly recommend adding it to your list. All of these are what I thought made it such a great place. I spent 3 days and 3 night in the capital exploring and sight-seeing, going to cafes, eating good food, and drinking good wine. I also spent a day in a northern city called Kazbegi (just south of the Russian border) and was absolutely blown away by the mountains up there. I cannot say enough about this day. This episode features an interview with Konstintine, the owner of the hostel I stayed at in Tbilisi. He was born and raised in Tbilisi and is a true local through and through. I hope you all enjoy this one!
