People sometimes ask me if they could join my group or "tour". That's understandable. Hiking alone is not for everybody, it's more dangerous and ... well... lonely. But I am happy if I make it to Georgia for a few weeks in summer and always have a group. So, let's try something. If you are looking for a trekking partner, fill in the form below and I will post yours ad here. Other visitors will then be able to contact you through the contact form. Just keep in mind your ad won´t appear here immediately, give me a day or two. And also, for last-minute ads, ones where are you looking for a buddy for a next few days, it is much more effective just to post in the discussion group.
Who am I: Hello!!! I'm Jacob, from the UK and in the early stages of planning a hiking trip /holiday to Georgia (and maybe into Armenia!) throughout the month of June 2025. The instigating factor is a friend of mine being in the country at the same time (his partner is Georgian), so I will be visiting them in Tbilisi in early June. No specific dates have yet been laid down, but I would love to get some proper hiking done later in the month, maybe into early July (especially if higher elevations are not free of snow in June). It has been a while since my last big hike (across the US state of Oregon in 2018), so I feel a little rusty, but am very much looking forward to it! I do not know the Caucasus at all, but have plenty of time between now and departure to get planning. Most of my traveling has been solo in the past, but it would be cool to have company too. (There is a chance that my friend Alyssa will be joining for some of the hiking, but dependant upon escaping work!)
When do I visit: June 2025, possibly going into the first few weeks of July 2025 – I have to be back in the UK after that
Who am I looking for: Anyone! I am very chilled and laid back, like to delve into topics ranging from history and philosophy and geopolitics and art and literature and film – anything really. Having a proper discussion whilst hiking through stunning landscapes = my idea of bliss!
Who am I: Hello, 25 and from Colorado, US. Growing up in the Rocky Mountains I am excited to see what Georgia has to offer. I'm a civil engineer that likes to solo travel internationally when I can. I'm planning to reach Tbilisi My plan is to sometime in the week of Oct 6th and do the Mestia to Ushguli. I am flexible on the exact date I would be starting that week. I may have a friend coming with me, but as of right now it is just me. Please reach out if you would like to do the trek together!
When do I visit: October 6-14
Who am I looking for: Anyone
Who am I: Hey everyone! My name is Victoria and my friend is called Kristina, we are both 29 and 34 years old, and Kristina is a Russian speaker which may come in handy. My best friend and I will be visiting Georgia from the UK from June 29th to around the 6th before heading to Armenia, and will be looking at the trek from Mestia-Ushguli, and then heading back to Tbilisi, before heading to wine country for her birthday. If there are any solo female travellers in need of company, we will be there. We intend on staying at homesteads in the villages in the region rather than bringing a tent, simply because we won't have room in our luggage to do that. Reach out if you're interested :)
When do I visit: July
Who am I looking for: Solo female travellers in need of company with fellow women :)
