    Hello Dari. I just discovered your channel. You did a great job on this video, its very informative. I am particularly interested in Georgia as another CZcams content provider who I follow has recently moved there as well. from Russia. She is Natasha from Natasha’s Adventures . Just thought I would throw that out there. Its always fun to meet new people. I will be looking forward to another episode from you and once again, great job and enjoy the sunshine.

    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.

I'm glad to see you looking so happy and at home there in Tbilisi.

      The luck of English translation in the groceries is a bit of a problem sometimes ahaha Fortunately, there are many Russians products which I know ahaha

    Truly an amazing video Dari. Good job as always 😊
    Love your banner and thumbnail 🤩Great to see how busy and productive you've been, hope you have time to sleep once in a while ☺
    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) 😂
    I wish you and your fellow digital nomads a prosperous and happy year 🥰
