Hi, I’m Giorgi, a 25-year-old freelance hiking and mountain guide from Georgia.

I’ve always felt much more at home in nature than in a city.I’ve been hiking for more than 10 years, and over time it became something I genuinely love, not just a hobby.For me, there’s something special about being out in the mountains, walking a good trail, finding a beautiful viewpoint, making a fire at the end of the day, and sharing that experience with other people.

My main focus as a guide is hiking, trekking, camping, and exploring the outdoors.I do enjoy showing visitors Georgian culture, villages, food, wine, and traditions, but if you’re looking for someone to spend a day or several days in the mountains with, that’s where I really feel in my element.

I have more than 5 years of professional experience in the tourism industry, working in reservations, sales, operations, and account management.I also started working as a local guide in a winery in Kakheti when I was 17, so meeting travelers and showing people around Georgia is something I’ve been doing for quite a long time.

I’ve already had the chance to guide hiking and private tours around Kazbegi, Svaneti, Kakheti, Tbilisi, and different protected areas of Georgia.I’m also planning to apply for my official guide license this September.

I’m mostly a self-educated outdoor person.I’ve learned a lot through experience, spending time in nature, hiking, camping, and simply being curious about how things work.

I’ve also completed a first aid course through a private military organization, where I gained additional practical skills such as first aid, map reading and orientation, dealing with difficult weather conditions, and understanding things like atmospheric pressure and changes in the environment.That experience also taught me to stay calm, think practically, and pay attention to what’s happening around me.

I’m pretty handy when it comes to outdoor situations.I know how to set up a camp, make a fire, cook outdoors, navigate with a map, and deal with the small problems that can easily happen during a trip.I’m not the kind of person who expects everything to go perfectly—I prefer being prepared when something unexpected happens.

And yes, I actually enjoy cooking, so camping food doesn't have to mean eating the same boring meal every night.

When I guide people, I don’t want it to feel like you’re simply following a guide who is reading information from a script.I like talking, joking, stopping whenever there is something interesting to see, taking photos, and getting to know the people I’m hiking with.

Every traveler is different.Some people want a serious hike and a bit of a challenge.Others want a relaxed walk with plenty of time for photos, food, and enjoying the views.I’m happy with both and always try to adapt the trip to the people I’m with.

I’m also happy to guide families with children and travelers who want to bring their pets.I’m patient, easygoing, and always happy to help whenever I can.

Most importantly, I want people who travel with me to feel comfortable and safe.I may not know everything, and I’m still learning every day, but I take guiding seriously and I’m always trying to improve my skills and knowledge.

Georgia has an incredible amount to offer, especially once you leave the main tourist routes.There are mountains, forests, remote villages, lakes, valleys, old trails, amazing food, and places where you can simply stop for a moment and enjoy the silence.

If you’re looking for someone to explore Georgia with, especially on foot, I’d be happy to join you for the adventure.

See you somewhere on the trail!
