Today, I will deliver an in-depth report on my time spent in Georgia. This is part two of my series breaking down my experience in each of the four countries I visited on my recent trip. I started in episode 263 with my report on Turkey, and I will soon deliver two more reports on my trips to Armenia and Azerbaijan.   

TODAY'S GEORGIA TRIP REPORT

  • Listen in for the full story about our experience with a baseball bat-wielding cab driver (no, really!) 
  • Hear my take on where Georgia ranks in terms of “friendliness” out of the four nations I visited on my trip.
  • You’ll salivate as I describe the mind-blowing food we ate in Georgia - it was nothing like I expected!
  •  Tune in to hear my biggest disappointment about dining in Georgia. This one was a big letdown.
  • Learn about how the influx of Russians and Ukrainians into Georgia has affected the economic situation on the ground.
  • Listen in to hear my dismay at the remarks a Georgian banker made about CBDCs - this made my blood boil!
  • Get a glimpse into the presentation I gave in Georgia about my experience going through St. Kitts & Nevis' citizenship by investment process and the recent changes to the program. 
  • Hear my final verdict on Georgia as a potential Plan B location for expats. Does Georgia meet my standards?

CONCLUSION

As you can tell from this episode, I don’t like to sugarcoat anything or overhype a country when I am investigating it for clients and potential clients. As I’ve said many times, there is no “Shangri La” perfectly free country that exists, and that’s why I always set my feet on the ground in a country and go through residency processes myself so that I can relay the reality to my clients, and I take the same approach with this podcast when discussing these countries.  As with any other country, Georgia has a mix of good and bad qualities, and only you can be the final judge on which countries strike the right chord with you.
