This week we say goodbye to family and Poland and continue our adventure traveling the world. We're heading to the country of Georgia and we'll be living in Kutaisi for the next month.

We'll be staying in the country for close to 6 weeks. The first city we're staying in is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Kutaisi.

We'll be sharing more of our adventures around the city as we continue to explore and visit different places.
