Video Description:

Sweet, sweet Georgia. After wrapping up my trip in Turkey, I thought nothing could top that experience.. and then there's Georgia, a relatively unknown country among travelers, and that was enough of a reason for me to go there. I crossed the border from Kars, Turkey, to Tbilisi and immediately made a few friends at the hostel. We hung out, cooked for each other, checked out the nightlife scene, and explored the capital city of Georgia together. It was like a little family we formed.

During that night out in Tbilisi, we met Sophie at an open-air concert we accidentally stumbled upon. She was a very friendly local who invited us to join her in the quest of finding the real nightlife of Tbilisi. It was so random yet very rewarding. People are much friendlier here than in Egypt, Jordan, or even Turkey.

After Tbilisi, we went to Kazbegi and did a bunch of day hikes around the area. Kazbegi is beyond words. It was like a scene from the movie, the Sound of Music. Lush green fields, colorful flowers, and mountainous landscapes. It was truly a hidden gem in this area, and I highly recommend giving Georgia a go.

Beautiful mountains, charming people, and best of all, the cheap food. I hope this video will convey these messages. Enjoy!

Wondering what camera I am currently using? Here are all the camera gear I usually take with me when I am traveling:

Camera: Sony a7R V, the highest resolution full-frame camera out there, is my go-to camera when I travel. All of my recent photos and videos are all from this beast.
All-Around Travel Lens: Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens is the lens I mounted on my camera the most. The lens covers most of the ranges I need for travel from wide to telephoto. If I have to take only one lens with me on my travel, it would be this lens.
Ultra-Wide Lens: Sony 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lnes: An ultra-wide lens I often use to shoot expansive landscapes and capture massive architecture I stumble upon while traveling.
Telephoto Lens: Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II lens is one of the most versatile lenses to have. It is great for picking out details in landscapes and capturing wildlife when combined with the Sony FE 2x teleconverter.
Portrait Lens: Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Lens is the most compact and lightweight 85mm F1.4 lens out there. It's sharp and produces stunning bokeh for subject separation, perfect for portraits and street photography.
Drone: DJI Mavic Mini 2, a perfect drone for those who travel light. It weighs less than 250g and smaller than an iPhone when folded and can capture 4K video as well as 12 megapixels RAW photos. More than enough for its size.
Bag: Langly Alpha Globetrotter is a camera bag I use to carry all these lenses as well as other essentials when I'm traveling.
