A quick getaway to Georgia (and now racing back to Milan)

Guys, what can I say about Georgia? I went on a whirlwind four-day trip between Tbilisi and the Kazbegi mountains, as I couldn't stay away from home (and my dog waiting for me in Milan!) any longer. The weather was amazing: bright sunshine in Tbilisi, though up in the Kazbegi mountains, there was a biting wind that made me regret not packing a heavier jacket. The mountain view up there, however, makes you forget the cold—it’s absolutely breathtaking. Tbilisi really took me by surprise; it has such a laid-back, youthful vibe. On a practical note: no complicated visa is required with an Italian passport, and they use standard European power outlets, so charging your phone is hassle-free. I’m already at the airport for my flight back now. Everything was beautiful—Eastern Europe has such a unique charm—but I honestly can’t wait to get home, lounge on the couch, and give my furry friend a big hug.
