 Amsterdam Every year, to celebrate my birthday, I travel somewhere, in 2019 I went to Morocco , in 2020 to Israel and this year (2022) I decided to visit Amsterdam. It was a long time since I wanted to visit this city and there I have a friend that I wanted to see, so with these three points combined, I decided to visit Amsterdam in winter. I spent five days in Amsterdam and I visited the city plus some places outside like Zaanse Schans, Zandvoort and Haarlem.

I travelled to Georgia for two weeks in September visiting a big part of the country, this month is the end of the main touristic season there. Moving from one place to another can be time-consuming if you use public transportation (marshrutka) or hitchhiking, but it can be really authentic and interesting.  After my experience in Kyrgyzstan in 2021, I wanted to visit another ex-soviet country, I am interested in the background, culture and history of these countries and Georgia is the second of a long list. In this post I will talk about the west part of the country, the city of Kutaisi, and the west caucasian mountains: the Svaneti region, I didn't v
