What is everyone's thoughts on Tbilisi and Georgia in general? Been here? Want to come? Hi Johnny, great great information, I was wondering if you could help me get a job, once I'm there in Georgia and maybe a host for my 1st week or so. Thanks for the comprehensive article. My plan is to visit Georgia sometime this year still.
Seems like a great place to work remotely from. Are there consistent and well attended weekly networking events or meetups for digital nomads, especially software engineers? Would be great to have a heads up on that. Hey Samir, I haven't met that many software engineers yet, but I'm sure they'll be coming soon.
As of now there have been at least one or two meetups for digital nomads and expats every week since I've been here. Any thoughts on race realtions there?
I know this is a hard question to answer but do you think a black person could have a safe life and a good time there? It's hard to say as I'm not black myself. But for sure there are very few black people in Tbilisi. From what I've heard, Georgian people are generally racist against Black and Muslim people, but more because of the differences in culture and their negative experiences they've had with African and Arabic tourists than anything else.
If you're African-American, British, or Native English speaker, you'll still get a lot of stares just like I do, but you can expect people to be very friendly and helpful once you open your mouth.
