Looking for girls to explore Tbilisi together (July 24–25) 🇬🇪

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a F20 from France (I’m French and Russian) and I’ll be in Tbilisi on July 24–25.

I was wondering if there are any other girls who’d like to explore the city together! Whether you’re another traveler or a local Georgian, I’d love to meet up. If you’re local, I’d be especially interested in learning more about Georgia’s history and culture from your perspective.

My rough plan is:

• July 24: Explore Old Tbilisi.
• July 25: I’m open to ideas, but I’d love to visit the Chronicles of Georgia and discover
other interesting places.

A bit about me: I’m an international relations student, very friendly, easygoing, and always happy to meet new people. Feel free to send me a DM if you’d like to join!

Opinion Why do we have high rates of balding

4 Upvotes

I seen that in the Caucasus we are meant to have 60% + male pattern baldness we have very thick hair then start balding and the beard thickness kicks in but why is our balding rate so high?


r/AskCaucasus 3d ago

why Iranians on average darker and hairier than Turks? Even they are Indo-European speakers.

A lot of these people who live in Abkhazia or have names being common there are ethnic Megrelians or Svans it seems, really hard to tell apart.

Also, yet another caucasian lifter benching over 650lbs, you guys are very good at benching.

Travel Azerbaijan- Georgia border crossing

Post image
3 Upvotes

hello everyone,

i’m currently traveling azerbaijan and i want to go to georgia next. i did some research and i figured out that there’s a train from baku to tbilisi but when i try to book a ticket i get an alert that only citizens of azerbaijan can use this train. i also looked it up on the official website of the azerbaijani government and it says that “entry and exit is only permitted as an azerbaijani citizen or a foreigner who doesn’t need a visa”. i’m german so i did need to get a visa to go to azerbaijan but i don’t understand if the visa-free past only refers to entering azerbaijan. in my opinion needing a visa for azerbaijan shouldn’t matter if i want to go to georgia. i also saw some posts on reddit and they said that foreigners can use the train from baku to tbilisi since may 2026 (it also says so in the screenshot).

i also looked out other options to go to georgia as the train from baku stops in ganja (that’d be my stop) at round 2:30 am. i read a blog from a couple who went to azerbaijan and georgia last year and they said that it’s possible to go from sheki to balakan by marshrutka, take a taxi to the georgian border, walk across the border and the take a taxi to laghodeki and a marshrutka to tbilisi from there.

i’d like to know if that’s a possibility and if it’s even possible to cross the azerbaijan-georgia border by land as a foreigner.

as i want to visit kakheti in georgia, is it easier to go from the border to kakheti first and tbilisi after?

any help would be greatly appreciated!!

What do you think about the historical perspective of the Abkhazians regarding the Georgians?

3 Upvotes

I often see that Georgians tell absurd lies about the Abkhazians. The Abkhazians never viewed themselves as Georgian, nor did they regard Georgians as a kindred people; even before the Russians arrived in the Caucasus, the Abkhazian attitude toward Georgians was one of disdain.

Any Ossetians living in Ireland?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Im over the age of 21 born in Ireland but ethnically Ossetian from the caucuses region i literally no one at all with the same similar ethnicity but once came across some young lads speaking it in cork city but was too shy to approach or ask them id believe there is a few of us around but its not a very broad or well known region. Just hoping to connect with my culture and people with the same background I had to bring this into Reddit as I found no community or social groups or chats on facebook or social media.

Anyone who is reading this it would be a massive help if you know anything.
