🎿 Gudauri Ski resort.
One of the most popular places in Georgia in winter, so I'm updating the situation. There is snow, and more is expected in the coming days. The ski trails are in satisfactory condition. Open cable cars are working. A green passport is needed for them, but practically no one checks it. The cost of one lift is 10 lari ($ 3.3), unlimited for a day is 50 lari ($ 16). Equipment rental and instructors are available, cafes and bars are open. There are a lot of hotels and private houses for rent. In January-February, the perfect place to relax.

🇬🇪❤️ Today I have been living in Georgia for exactly 3 years.
On January 15th, 2019, an empty S7 plane brought me to Tbilisi (yes, there were still direct flights from Russia then and after the holidays the flight was filled by 20%). A lot has happened in these three years. I found a loved one here, a son was born, and the news I write is read by more than a million people every month (in my Russian channel).
In honor of my three years here, I will write the main advantages of Georgia (I will do the cons separately later, today I want to talk about good things):
📍 visa-free country for many post-CIS citizens (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians can stay for a year, then leave for an hour and come back again and live for another year)
📍 the unique nature: mountains, sea, plains, fields, caves, castles, the forest at any time of the year; delicious seasonal fruits and vegetables
📍Georgian cuisine, though tiring after a year of life, but still delicious
📍 large spread of the Russian language
📍 established Russian-speaking community
📍 friendliness and openness of the people
📍 in the presence of remote work and work quality, housing prices, products and services
📍 a cheap travel to Europe (for example, I flew to Italy by WizzAir for 40 euros round trip from Kutaisi)
📍clear business and taxation
conditions
📍 low level of corruption and no lawlessness of the police
📍 decriminalization of marijuana (I do not use it, but for many it is a plus)
🤝Maybe I forgot something, but you can rightly say that there are enough minuses, but for most people living here, the positive aspects outweigh. That's probably why we live in Georgia and love this country, and I once again wish everyone a successful 2022, health and good mood more often!
