ძალა ერთობაშია

Imagine a country that is small, diverse, safe, friendly, with good food, a rich history, and unique traditions. Now imagine that it is practically unknown to most Americans since it shares the name of one of our states. That is Georgia! It is otherworldly, with a unique alphabet, but traditions that seem familiar to visitors from both the west and the east. This travel course will explore the cultural heritage of Georgia and its people.
