This podcast follows one resident learning Georgia slowly, moving between settled places and the landscapes that connect them. Travel here is shaped by the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea coast and the lowlands behind it, by old churches, markets and the rhythm of the Mtkvari River. The show treats Georgia as a country to live in, not just pass through.
The host ranges from Tbilisi in the east to Bat'umi on the Black Sea coast, then into the Kolkhida Lowland and the foothills of the Lesser Caucasus. She also follows the Mtkvari River Basin eastwards, where most of the population lives in the central valley. These are the settings that shape daily life in Georgia.
The show unfolds across seasons, returning to the same streets and villages as weather and light change. One episode might revisit Tbilisi in early spring, another the Black Sea coast in autumn. Over time, a picture builds of how Georgia feels when you stay somewhere properly and let knowledge accumulate.
Nino Beridze lives in Georgia and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Nino is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.

My final full day in Mtskheta before heading west. We explore the quiet Samtavro quarter, navigate the new bridge construction, and reflect on the weight of living in a UNESCO heritage site while counting the cost of coffee and rent.
