Fiona - Far Frontiers


Dear Adventurer,

I'm just back from an incredible 12 day adventure in Georgia - travelling over 2400kms around the country from North to South, East to West - from the high Caucasus to the Black Sea Coast. I enjoyed both warm sunshine and thick snow and fell in love with this beautiful and diverse country and its warm-hearted people. I’ll publish a full trip report in due course but do contact me in the meantime if you’re considering a visit.
