ALL THE CAUCASUS VIDEOS: bit.ly/3WeMvO0 Here's the last video from Azerbaijan where I did a land-border crossing into Georgia. This experience felt very nerve-racking for me personally, but I was so proud of myself for doing it. This video illustrated the raw experience and reality of what it looked like to travel alone as a female to far-flung places. I was completely aware of the conflicts and the political sensitivity of this region. I would be naive not to think this would be an easy border-crossing. I researched heavily prior to my flight departure to Azerbaijan. I calculated every travel itinerary I had and decided to do Azerbaijan before Georgia then to Armenia. My Indonesia passport also played a huge rule of making it more difficult. An American/British/EU or similar kind passport holder wont go through such scrutiny. I still decided to go because I want to challenge myself and experience this firsthand. One wont grow if one always choose the easier and comfortable way. 🙂
You have the ability to find and appreciate small beautiful things around you, and it made your Azerbaijan tour this interesting to watch. Thanks for this series, hope you enjoyed it here!
Adriana You are a strong woman, travel alone, you don’t know their language, and everywhere you to take pictures, show us, I just admire of you thankyou for sharing
Seasoned traveller . Amazing. D cheerful disposition says a lot about ur level of confidence and inner self. No worries , u will always have d support and prayers of ur beloved subscribers , restless waiting to watch ur every video and share ur adventures, to every country u visited . God bless Cheers 🇲🇾
@@SyifaAdriana All is well here, Syifa. Always looking out toward the horizon, planning my next trip. I had hoped to go to India, and get to film the Holi festival, but the logistics (and prices) are getting in my way. I have to give precedence to my local (commercial) jobs, which support my travel habits. LOL You truly amaze me with your stamina, staying on the road for such long periods, and doing it solo, which truly ads to the burden. I once commented to a travel companion how nice it was to have someone traveling with me, because with a companion, I can at least go to the rest room without carrying all my gear with me. (She was insulted! LOL)
@@theotherHOLLYWOOD I am glad to hear that Len. I think it's still nice that you can keep up with traveling once in a while. I definitely have noticed the increased flight and accommodation and it makes my job's sustainability a bit more concerning 😂 It's basically running business with expense and trying to make a profit not excluding the hours spent into traveling and editing. I have decided to invest in a video editor since end of last year and it has been great! I feel like I can have hobby again since traveling has become my job 😂 I think this stamina will only be possible if one travels slowly. I was in the Caucasus for 7 weeks and on the week 5th, I was so homesick. I miss sleeping in my own bed, but the show must go on. I think with my Indonesian passport, fulltime traveling as a job is more challenging as I do have a lot of visa restrictions. I agree with you how a simple trip to the toilet requires planning when you travel alone as no one is looking out for your equipment 🤣 So sad that your travel companion didn't see your comment as a compliment hahaha
Wow Syifa, what an adventure. You're a brave woman and I'm glad you'll be exploring a new country with your husband. Love the soundtrack with the beautiful scenery during your mashrutka ride. Life is a journey and you're living it. Wuuwoo!!
Hi Syifa, you are a real traveler and this particular video is so beautiful capture of Autumn colours. I am going to Azerbaijan by fist week of May. I will visit Sheki and this is much useful to me. Thanks a lot for beautiful and informative capture. wish you many more creative and raw trips. God bless you..
I watch your videos all the time especially your border crossing experiences. You are brave enough to do that by yourself. I want to experience crossing borders too, I think it is nerve racking yet amazing and memorable experience.
You keep traveling...another country again but still you have a great desire capturing to share with us.. We're so lucky watching and learning as well.. I admire a strong woman like you and I'd like to adopt it...💞
Fantastic Journey with great information for Border Crossing from Azerbaijan to Georgia. i am a Bicycle tourist and was looking for border crossing detail from Azerbaijan to Georgia, but no latest updates, and even on Social media that the border is closed. In July 2023, I am planning to Cycle from Baku to Georgia Kutaisi City Crossing Balakan Border. Is the border open to cross? and is there any official documents requirements you advise (like any permit / Show money / or any other document) that i must have while crossing the border at Balakan region? i confirmed from Georgia Consulate here in UAE, as i am a UAE resident and our visa is on Arrival at the airport in Georgia. Appreciate your prompt reply.
I remember that border… crossing into Georgia. Had a bad experience with that border crossing as well… can u believe they asked for my visa when Malaysia don’t need visa to enter… had to shake my head and waited.
Hello, Syifa Today, on 01 February 2023 I returned from Italy to Chisinau (my hometown). I visited 4 cities: Rome, Florence, Venice, and Bologna. Being on my second trip to Italy I recommend you go up there one day without hesitation. 🥰
Very recognizable, always feels a bit like a lottery if you're dependent on the decision of some bureaucrat, specially if things are not entirely business as usual. But you got through!.
I was kinda arrested at Baku airport, humilated too. An officer walked with me to the ATM in order to get the money! Why? Because I had to do something called registration. Note: I had tourism-visa but again you have to have a registration. I had to pay a lot of money at the airport and almost missed my flight. So, when you arrive Azerbaijan make sure you will do registration even if you have visa. DO NOT FORGET THAT I AM WARNING YOU.
I am sorry to hear your horrible experiences! Azerbaijan requires travellers to register with the officials if you stay in the country for more than 10 days. I found it to be a hassle.
Every country has its own special rules. if you ignore them and travel whatsoever, you will pay the price with your money and time. This applies to all countries. You may have a chance to avoid penalties only if you know the local language and have negotiation skills. I would not call yours a bad experience. You are inexperienced at best
Hats of to you Syifa to have the guts to travel alone in a strange land.I must admire your courage and determination. Anyway you crossed over to Georgia successfully.Congratulations!😲😲🤩
Hi Syfia, beautiful vlog. As an Indian, i want to land and baku and cross the land border of Georgia solo. Will it be difficult to cross for male solo traveler as well. Thanks.
Finally you left Azerbaijan and reach Georgia safely without any big trouble great job and after long time you are meeting your husband enjoy the coming days with your husband and have a great time.
Hi Syifa, this video is very helpful as we are planning to cross the Red Bridge border from Azerbaijan to Georgia. I hope it will still be open on 21 Feb.
Thank you so much! I am not so sure whether Red Bridge is open as I crossed the border on the Northwest. However if the similar policy applies, you should be able to leave Azerbaijan easily. 🙂Thanks for letting me know!
@@SyifaAdriana I've called Azerbaijan Embassy in the UAE and they have confirmed that we can exit the land borders from Azerbaijan. I will let you know once we reached Georgia. I'm glad we saw your vlog or we won't even know its doable. :) Enjoy your holidays!
We managed to cross the border from Red Bridge today. It was just so stressful as I have an Armenian stamp and kept on asking a lot of questions about it. Also, they kind of think that I don’t look the same as my passport photo so they scan through all the stamps and visas on my passport.
@@arslanyeshanov4961 Hi Arslan, I think Azerbaijan land border has been closed for an entry since COVID. You can only leave to a third country as a foreign tourist.
Hi syifa. Thanks for the very beautiful showcasing from your video. Its truly fascinating and cool. Ya same with me when the officer Asking why u why travel alone? Hahahaha.😂😂😂 Okey bye syifa see you at your another travel video. Stay Safe n Healthy. Bye👋👋👋👋👋
On georgian border they stopped you just one reason border for foot crossing is closed since 2020 and you wear lucky that they give you possibility of entrance.
Hello, not true. I heavily researched information prior to border crossing and the Georgian border was already open for public including tourists. The questions and interrogations were common for people who holds weaker passport such as people from Southeast Asian or South Asian countries.
georgian border yes but azerbaijan border is closed to georgians and for Azerbaijanians too on that sight. Or may be something different happens because for Georgian border police max 5 minutes for Chalking the information and environ is free after that.@@SyifaAdriana thanks to beautiful videos.
Thank you for your reply. The Azebaijan land border is indeed closed for an entry. However it's possible for 3rd nationals, meaning foreigners, to leave the country via Azerbaijan land border. @@DATODATOHERI89
Interesting to watch my country from the perspective of a foreign guest. In rural areas, when people approach you, it is usually out of curiousity of people to foreigners. Lovely filmed! Wish you the best in your journey!
Hi Syifa, well done, keeping up your spirit and making it across the border! Looking forward to following along your travels in Georgia. All the best, have fun!
Part of my college years in Bulgaria was taking the marshrutka which was always full with standing passengers. You just brought memories with that video, thank you!
The borders between these countries can’t be compared to the boarders between the European countries on the west side. I don’t recommend you to cross these borders at all it’s better to take a flight because these countries have conflicts between each others also some illegal trading happens there so of course you’ll experience heavy check
Yes, Willi. I am completely aware of these conflicts and the political sensitivity of this region. I would be naive not to think this would be an easy border-crossing. I researched heavily prior to my flight departure to Azerbaijan. I calculated every travel itinerary I had and decided to do Azerbaijan before Georgia then to Armenia.

I still decided to go because I want to challenge myself and experience this firsthand. One wont grow if one always choose the easier and comfortable way. All the best!
Kind of nervous watching this video. I guess I would be as nervous when I travelled alone in a country where i can't speak the local language, even though I'm a man. Good luck to you, and thanks for sharing your nice videos.
Si es muy estresante cruzar las fronteras cuando uno viaja solo. Y más en esos países, en America y Europa nadie se admira porque andas sola. Dios te a guardado y ayudado @ vencer tus temores Adriana.
¡Es muy amable de tu parte decir esto! Me gusta mostrar la realidad de los viajes y cómo se ven cuando los hace una mujer sola. Este video también muestra la realidad de mis sentimientos, el campo, la amabilidad de la gente y la curiosidad de los lugareños.
@@SyifaAdriana si Adriana, me gustan tus vídeos de esos países, porque uno no puede ir a ellos, y que bueno que tú muestras esos bellos lugares y un poco de sus costumbres y su cocina. Felicitaciones. No es fácil viajar sola y más para una mujer, pero tú tienes una buena experiencia de esos viajes.
As travellers we so wish all the bureaucratic nonsense doesn't exist. I've been a solo traveller for a long time and luckily I'm male, but I lost my passport last year and had to get two new ones (one temporary one to get out of Sweden where I was stuck and one back in the US where I live) and reapply for four visas. Took me four months and countless days of just running to and from embassies and application centres to do that. It can feel meaningless a lot of times and I'm often heavily questioned because I'm long-haired and I'm often just exhausted when crossing any border, but there's no better solution other than accepting the state we're living in and try to conquer all the nonsense. Such a privilege to be on the road.
When you did that border crossing, that must have been so hard. I rarely do a border crossing without a meltdown nowadays. In 10 years of traveling there has been so much drama. Thanks for sharing your content. It's so wholesome and honest.
Thank you so much, Jozefien! Thank you for sharing your experiences as well. I am so glad that you got the honesty that this video is trying to portray. I appreciate your comment and support!
I m watching from Nepal all videoes are good and knowledgeable you are a really advantural lady always be shining Syifa sis,, And also take care yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really good video but I think you have miss understanding about being a female solo traveler in Azerbaijan I'm Egyptian not Azerbaijani But I visited Azerbaijan many times and so a lot of women walking alone very safe more than any other country I visited before Also my sister travelled to Azerbaijan 3 times one with her friends (girls) and 2 times she was alone and she told that she felt so safe and everybody tried to help her with everything So I think this is miss understanding But still good video
Hiya, this video is not trying to create drama. This was filmed realistically and I showed my honest feeling as a I was going through this. Just because my experience is different to your sister, doesn't mean that mine isn't valid.
@@SyifaAdriana Maybe but if you tried to understand why people was looking at you, you may understand that you are too wrong Azerbaijan is so new in the term of tourism Just 6 years one year of them was closed due to covid 6 month closed due to the war with Arminia They didn't use to see foreigners on their streets The most of them also can't speak English and they are simple to the degree of thinking that if they talk to you in Azeri language you should understand them So they look at us as foreigners because they want to communicate with us and say hi But they sometimes being so shy and just looking at you waiting for you to start because they being too shy because they can't speak good English They were looking at me the same way and I'm a man!! They do the same thing we were doing when we were kids and meet a tourist in Egypt or Indonesia Our old people doesn't do that because both countries very very old on this field and we all used to see a ton of tourists every year Sometimes more than local people 😀 So try to understand the mentality of the people in the country you visit (it's an advice) I believe that you did feel fear I'm not against you and I'm sorry for the word (drama) but also I believe that no one ment to put you on this situation It's just miss understanding Maybe after some years when they use to see a lot of tourists, they will not give neither me nor you any attention and we will miss this feeling of being new to a place and everybody wants to contact with us and curious about us I still like your videos You did a great job And I really appreciate your effort

Si es muy estresante cruzar las fronteras cuando uno viaja solo. Y más en esos países, en America y Europa nadie se admira porque andas sola. Dios te a guardado y ayudado @ vencer tus temores Adriana.
¡Es muy amable de tu parte decir esto! Me gusta mostrar la realidad de los viajes y cómo se ven cuando los hace una mujer sola. Este video también muestra la realidad de mis sentimientos, el campo, la amabilidad de la gente y la curiosidad de los lugareños.
@@SyifaAdriana si Adriana, me gustan tus vídeos de esos países, porque uno no puede ir a ellos, y que bueno que tú muestras esos bellos lugares y un poco de sus costumbres y su cocina. Felicitaciones. No es fácil viajar sola y más para una mujer, pero tú tienes una buena experiencia de esos viajes.
As travellers we so wish all the bureaucratic nonsense doesn't exist. I've been a solo traveller for a long time and luckily I'm male, but I lost my passport last year and had to get two new ones (one temporary one to get out of Sweden where I was stuck and one back in the US where I live) and reapply for four visas. Took me four months and countless days of just running to and from embassies and application centres to do that. It can feel meaningless a lot of times and I'm often heavily questioned because I'm long-haired and I'm often just exhausted when crossing any border, but there's no better solution other than accepting the state we're living in and try to conquer all the nonsense. Such a privilege to be on the road.
Your speech is very heart full,, good quality video, like it, from gujral India
17:20 That was your “first successful border crossing”? Have all others been unsuccessful? Wow
Not quite like that 😂 It's just I mostly fly into the country to enter rather than doing a border crossing :)
@@SyifaAdriana you still cross a border when flying in though!
@@zz44ppppp True, I meant land border crossing 😂 I still get a lot of scrutiny and questions even with flying.
So nice and what a fluent English
you aer very beautiful . aslo open mind person . i respact you and proud of you . god bless all of your drem come true .
How many countries you visited
When you did that border crossing, that must have been so hard. I rarely do a border crossing without a meltdown nowadays. In 10 years of traveling there has been so much drama. Thanks for sharing your content. It's so wholesome and honest.
Thank you so much, Jozefien! Thank you for sharing your experiences as well. I am so glad that you got the honesty that this video is trying to portray. I appreciate your comment and support!
Did your UK resident permit allowed you to enter schengen region without visa?
Not at all. I would still apply for a regular Schengen tourist visa separately.
Keep exploring the world ❤🧡💛
Thank you so much for watching, Mamunur!

Thank you so much for watching, Prem!
Really good video but I think you have miss understanding about being a female solo traveler in Azerbaijan
I'm Egyptian not Azerbaijani
But I visited Azerbaijan many times and so a lot of women walking alone very safe more than any other country I visited before
Also my sister travelled to Azerbaijan 3 times one with her friends (girls) and 2 times she was alone and she told that she felt so safe and everybody tried to help her with everything
So I think this is miss understanding
But still good video
Hiya, this video is not trying to create drama. This was filmed realistically and I showed my honest feeling as a I was going through this. Just because my experience is different to your sister, doesn't mean that mine isn't valid.
@@SyifaAdriana
Maybe but if you tried to understand why people was looking at you, you may understand that you are too wrong
Azerbaijan is so new in the term of tourism
Just 6 years one year of them was closed due to covid
6 month closed due to the war with Arminia
They didn't use to see foreigners on their streets
The most of them also can't speak English and they are simple to the degree of thinking that if they talk to you in Azeri language you should understand them
So they look at us as foreigners because they want to communicate with us and say hi
But they sometimes being so shy and just looking at you waiting for you to start because they being too shy because they can't speak good English
They were looking at me the same way and I'm a man!!
They do the same thing we were doing when we were kids and meet a tourist in Egypt or Indonesia
Our old people doesn't do that because both countries very very old on this field and we all used to see a ton of tourists every year
Sometimes more than local people 😀
So try to understand the mentality of the people in the country you visit (it's an advice)
I believe that you did feel fear I'm not against you and I'm sorry for the word (drama) but also I believe that no one ment to put you on this situation
It's just miss understanding
Maybe after some years when they use to see a lot of tourists, they will not give neither me nor you any attention and we will miss this feeling of being new to a place and everybody wants to contact with us and curious about us
I still like your videos
You did a great job
And I really appreciate your effort
Fun to see you travelling again, nice to watch you show unusual countries, a fun education ✌️❤️🇬🇧thanks syifa
