Step 1: Planning, Agencies & Visas

If you want a stress-free cross-country experience, booking a regional travel package is a highly effective route. When doing research across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, compare the inclusions across different local agencies (such as Fly Well, Little Manila Travel, and Memory Maker). Look for packages that bundle:

  • Hotel accommodations (3-star or 4-star) with daily breakfast.
  • Guided tours covering major spots in both countries.
  • Cross-border land transportation (e.g., Tbilisi to Yerevan).
  • Airport transfers and local SIM cards.
Visa Note: As of mid-2025, Armenia officially opened its borders to citizens and residents of GCC countries granting visa-free access for short stays up to 90 days. Always double-check your specific passport requirements before booking!

What to Eat

Exploring local cuisine is a huge part of the adventure. During your stay, make sure you try:

  • Khinkali (Georgia): A famous local dumpling filled with meat and broth.
  • Local Breakfast Buffets: Indulge in fresh fruits, cheese, and pastries offered at your hotel.
  • Wine Tasting (Georgia): Don't miss the Kakheti region, known as the birthplace of wine, to try authentic local blends.

Practical Tips for Solo Travelers

Traveling alone is empowering, but it requires smart preparation. Keep these essential tips in mind:

  • Compile Everything: Use apps like Google Docs or Notion to store your itinerary. Keep digital and printed copies of your passport and bookings on Google Drive.
  • Share Your Plans: Always let a trusted family member or friend know your whereabouts and daily schedule.
  • Buy Travel Insurance: Invest in a worldwide travel insurance policy (like QIC) before your trip. It gives you peace of mind for both medical emergencies and travel disruptions.
  • Pack Smart: Budget airlines charge heavily for extra luggage. Plan your outfits via Pinterest or Canva, and pack only what is necessary.
  • Stay Present: Capture the moments, but don't forget to put your phone down and actually soak in the incredible views.

Solo traveling helps you learn more about yourself, the things you're capable of, and to realize how big the world is... If I can do such things for myself, I won't have to wait for someone to fill that void for me.
