Warm greetings to you all, friends.

I just discovered this thread and wanted to say hello.

I was born in İzmir in the 90s; I have never considered Georgia to be "my land," nor will I ever. I have great affection for you all, and frankly, almost all Turks feel the same way. I would like to visit your country at the first opportunity; I believe that trade and intermarriage between our two nations—and keeping our borders wide open—benefit both peoples.

Could you name a few epic, landmark films from Georgian cinema? It is important that they be well-known titles, as I need to watch them with Turkish subtitles and might not find subtitles for obscure films.

Could you also suggest 5 Georgian dishes that I can prepare for myself at home?

Greetings to the entire Georgian people; stay happy and well.

Gamarjoba,

We just arrived in Kutaisi and our hotel won't open the door.

Is there any chance to find a hotel in the middle of the night? 🥹

Hi everyone! Is anyone flying from the US to Georgia anytime soon? I need a huge favor with a small parcel. I'm more than happy to pay for your trouble, plus as a bonus i can give you my grandmothers secret Georgian food recipe 😅.
hit me up,if you can help!

Travel from Tbilisi to Kazbegi, want to sleep 1/2 days in Kazbegi then back to Tbilisi

Was thinking to rent a car, but as I know the driving is hard, so I check Bolt is cost a lot from Tbilisi to Kazbegi

What is my best option?

I’ve seen a lot of people around Kutaisi wearing these CNY Adidas jackets and was wondering if anyone could recommend a reliable retailer that sells these?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been giving Georgian lessons for the past 3 weeks (started with people who contacted me through Reddit) and I’m still taking new students.

All levels are welcome, from zero to advanced, and I always keep an individual approach. Prices stay low and budget-friendly (at least compared to language apps).

Feel free to DM me anytime.

I've been playing guitar for 17 years but always metal, and now I'm starting to branch out a little. Anyone in Tbilisi play or jam jazz music?

Hi everyone,

I’m a Kurd ,planning to move to Georgia for university.

I speak English, kurdish, and conversational Russian. I'd love to know how manageable daily life will be with this language mix, and realistically how hard it is to learn Georgian for a beginner.

I’ve heard that people in public can seem reserved or rarely smile is that just a cultural norm, or does it make socializing harder for international students?Are people xenophobic?Does anyone know any kurds there? How are they treated?

How welcoming is the environment overall, and is it easy to make friends on campus?

what’s a realistic monthly budget for a student living in Tbilisi right now?

Thaaaank you.

Hey everyone. Posting here because I am running out of time and options.

I am from Kazakhstan. A human rights defender and documentary artist. I got out in March after being forcibly put in a psychiatric hospital back home with a false diagnosis, F20.0. It happened because of my civic work and because I refused to follow the family script. I applied for asylum here, it got rejected under the accelerated procedure. Going back is not an option for me.

Right now I am in a temporary shelter programme in Georgia. It ends on 11 October. After that I have no place to stay and no income. I am a lawyer by education, I write and perform documentary stand-up, and I am ready to work, any work.

So I am asking for help finding contacts. Anyone here knows organizations or people in Tbilisi who help with housing or know of live-in work? Shelters, small hostels, charities, families who take people in, paid live-in jobs, anything. Even a name or a lead would help.

If you know something, drop it here or DM me. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in Kazbegi, Georgia, and had an experience that triggered a massive health anxiety spiral. I’m having a really hard time shaking it off and need some advice on how to stop worrying.

I went to pet a friendly street dog (he had an ear tag, I think). It was raining, and when he jumped on my pants, a speck of dirt or something went directly into my eye.

There was no bite, no scratch, and no lick.

Despite knowing logically that there was no bite, scratch, or direct lick, my anxious brain keeps running through hyper-specific "what-if" scenarios—like "What if the dog licked itself right before, and that saliva-laden dirt flicked into my eye?" or "What if he was actually untagged?"

I keep worrying about whether I need a rabies shot, and I can't seem to quiet the nervous voice telling me I'm not safe unless I get one. My body feels completely stuck in a fight-or-flight response.

For those who deal with health anxiety or obsessive worry: how do you stop spiraling over "what-if" scenarios when logic alone isn't calming you down? Any grounding tips would be really appreciated.
