Ideas for help

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Me and my wife decided to try moving to Tbilisi for (at least) a couple years in January 2027 and see what Tbilisi and Georgia might have to offer to a mid-aged couple.

We are both in our mid-thirties (saying so for the neighborhood ideas) and would very much prefer a quiet local scene and NOT A touristy - urban vibe. I hold a humanities PhD and she has an M.A, and our work requires silence for research, so a noisy area would not be our choice. My ancestors are part Georgian, so I don’t think I’ll have difficulties in adapting to the culture. Any ideas regarding the neighborhoods to rent long term (preferably 2 years). We both have remote jobs, but are considering English-speaking academia to contribute to Georgian culture as well. Initially, our budget would be about 500 USD per month. We also have a mid-sized shelter rescue dog.

Any help would be much appreciated!

🚨 URGENT!! PLEASE HELP: Tbilisi → UAE

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out again because I’m desperately trying to find someone travelling from Tbilisi to the UAE soon who could help me bring the blood serum samples from my dogs with them.

I’m currently out of the country, while my dogs are in Tbilisi with a friend, and I urgently need to get these samples to the UAE. I’m really struggling to find a way to transport them, so I’m hoping someone here might be able to help.

The samples will be collected and prepared by a veterinarian, properly sealed, packaged, refrigerated, and accompanied by all the necessary documentation.

Everything will be prepared according to the requirements of the laboratory and airline. You would simply need to carry them during your journey and hand them over to me once you arrive in the UAE.

I completely understand that carrying blood serum samples may sound concerning, and I’m more than happy to provide all documentation and details beforehand so you can be fully comfortable with what you’re carrying.

I’m also more than willing to compensate you for your time and inconvenience. 🙏

If you are travelling from Tbilisi to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or anywhere else in the UAE in the coming days/weeks, PLEASE DM me. Even if you know someone who is travelling, I would be incredibly grateful if you could pass this on to them.

I’m genuinely running out of options and really need someone’s help with this. If you have any leads at all, even if you’re not travelling yourself, please let me know.

Thank you so, so much to anyone who can help or share this. 🙏

Tech/AI scene in Tbilisi- who should I meet

5 Upvotes

I’m coming to Tbilisi from Geneva next week for a few days and I’d like to get a feel for the local tech scene.
Mostly curious about

Incubators, accelerators or tech spaces worth walking into.

Any AI or dev studios / startups in Tbilisi doing interesting work that a visiting founder could reach out to?

Meetups or events happening in the next 10 days. Thanks

Tbilisi without tourist traps

4 Upvotes

I'm in Tbilisi right now and want to avoid tourist traps. I had dinner at Balcony №12 since it seemed to attract more locals. My colleague has a knack for overpaying, so I'm trying to avoid that. Any recommendations for reasonably priced places around that area or in Old Tbilisi for the next few days?

Looking for: Fair prices, good vegetable options (no walnuts, but steamed stuff), chicken, solid food, and more of a local vibe.
