Living and working in the hostel is amazing . I have had the biggest opportunity to meet backpackers and tourist from many different countries .Some come by plane to travel Georgia with a minibus . Some come to travel the mountains and for many Tbilisi is on their way home or to their new destination and need a place to stay .Many many many…Polish people , thats for sure .
They are just normal human beings with the inner craving for for travel .Usually having a weeks worth of facial hair , dirty clothes and are just happy to finally sleep in a real bed or to have a shower . The hostel becomes a place to relax and regenerate .For me – I feel like a monk who helps people in need ..a savior so to say and it fulfills me .People from France ,Russia ,Belgium ,Austria ,Poland ,Iran ,Azerbaijan ,Turkey and Poland come here to this small hostel …So far I am still the only Estonian who has/is visiting the hostel.
I have been living in this hostel now for 41 days . From those days I have spent 39 in the hostel .How weird it is that the days have gone by so fast .Makes me to know that I have slowly become more fond of the owners who have become my family and the hostel that has given me a place to sleep for so long but the main reason for staying here is because I am waiting for someone .My dear friend in Estonia didn’t get to go to be a volunteer for a year in Bolivia .So speaking with her I proposed to her to come join my travels for a year .She immediately agreed and has already bought the plane ticket to Georgia/Tbilisi . My job is to go get her on the 6th of September at 4 o’clock from Tbilisi Airport .I have already made preparations to buy wine and make her stay here as pleasant as possible since she will be staying at the hostel for a few days before we leave to the dangerous countries where Muslim dictatorship is law .
I have finally settled down . After a week staying in here you get used to everything .
“Learn the basics of the language how to say hello , goodbye ,thank you .
“Know your neighborhood .
“See all the main sights .
“Get used to the food .
….Finally you have little to discover , but I still go further and further to the other parts of the city just to see more .I have found locals to hang out and gotten to know the real Georgians .Found many parts of the city to explore . Mainly by Metro and by foot . Ive went to explore the mountains surrounding the city .Found abandoned buildings to explore.Have gone to taste all kinds of cuisine in many different households and restaurants ..But i love the wine….I just love the wine .No wonder Georgia is well-known for wine .The architecture is amazing but mostly because they have balcony’s everywhere – Thats what makes it special for me . But even if I have explored one place I immediately find another .
I am in Love with this beautiful Tbilisi and I will enjoy it as long as I am here .
