    Sounds like an awesome place. If Georgia manages the population influx correctly, you just might start to see some of those city developments come to pass. It's definitely inexpensive compared to the US though -- your grocery take would have been more like US$60 in my part of the country, and we live in a relatively cheap area. Great perspective; thanks! 👍

    Btw your little jar of Pesto Genovese is quite expensive compared to west europe, but the rest of the groceries seemed reasonable
    I can buy that size of pesto of supermarket quality for 5-8 Lari here
    It looks like everything processed is more expensive than in the Netherlands (olive oil, butter) and everything unprocessed is slightly cheaper (vegetables, fish etc)
    But all together I was surprised how expensive your food is. I thought it would be cheaper.

    Is the month May a good time to visit Tbilisi? I never considered it before, but I have 2 weeks holiday in May and I am looking to help local economies with my travel plans and not go to the standard Spanish or Italian holiday resort (nothing against those countries, I love them, but now I want to bring the little money I can spend on travel to people who need it more.) Turkey is another option for me, because of the earthquake.

    It seems like Georgia is a very nice Country, and if you feel safe I'm sure it is... except the cable cars and the evil children 😅
    Regarding prices in Denmark, I'm unsure, depends if you are one or two or a family...
    Food spendings in total, I think two people in average for 1 month would use about $500, and a single person about $250, and a family of 4 could be $750. Btw nice to see they have Lurpak butter (danish butter) 😂

    Have you considered rail? Its usually cheap to get around Europe and you can an unlimited pass usually for six months to travel all over the continent. At the moment, airfare prices will stay high! Unfortunately, because of the war, travel to and from Europe via Russia has been suspended. Your Russian passport isn’t of much value unless you change nationality. A good overview of life in Georgia! There could be worse places to live for a digital nomad in your situation. Let’s see what 2023 holds in store for the future. Dari, remain safe and stay blessed.

      Rail can be very convenient! When I lived in Europe, I traveled like that all the time. But you cannot really get from Georgia to Europe my rail. For ex, you can get to Baku by train but right now they don’t operate.. soo)
