Saturday was our first official weekend day, so we decided to fully lean into the tourist experience. Instead of just wandering around blindly, we booked an exclusive private city tour on Airbnb Experiences led by a local guide named Atrin. If you are coming to Tbilisi as an exchange student, taking a guided tour during your first weekend is a massive cheat code. It helps you connect the dots of the city layout and gives you all the history you wouldn't find on your own. Here

Friday was easily the most jam-packed, unforgettable day of our entire exchange so far. We went from being standard international students to sitting on a national television set, followed by an amazing VIP tour of the city with the rector of the school. If you want to know what a peak Erasmus day looks like in Tbilisi, this was it. 1. Going Live on National Television Our morning started with a massive spike of adrenaline. We went to the studio of a national Georgian, pro-Eu

After the big shopping trip to East Point, Thursday was a pretty textbook student day. When you're on a four-week exchange, they can't all be high-speed adventures or late-night street food runs—sometimes you just need a standard routine day to recharge your batteries. Here is what a casual, low-key day looks like on this program: 1. Putting in the Hours at School We spent the morning and afternoon at the school working on the duties and projects we had mapped out the day bef

Wednesday was what we like to call a "maintenance day." After a few days of pure exploration, sports tournaments, and local markets, the pace finally slowed down a bit. Here is how our relatively quiet Day 4 went down, and why we ended up at one of Tbilisi’s biggest shopping hubs. 1. The Planning Phase We spent the first half of the day inside the school, sitting down with the teachers to map out our schedule. They gave us a breakdown of the different duties and projects we’l

Tuesday was all about sports, massive markets, and our first real street food experience. If you are a future student coming to Tbilisi, your first few days will definitely include figuring out what local life looks like outside the classroom. Here is how our third day went down: 1. School Spirit: The Football Tournament We spent the first part of the day checking out the school’s football team. They were playing in a tournament against several other local schools, so we went

After catching up on some much-needed sleep, Monday was our first official day of getting to know the program, our hosts, and the school. If you're heading to Tbilisi on an exchange, your se cond day will likely look a lot like ours—getting your transit sorted out and figuring out where you'll be working for the next four weeks. Here is exactly how our first morning unfolded and what you need to know about getting around the city as a student. 1. Step One: Sorting the Transit

When you wake up on your first full day in Tbilisi, you are going to realize very quickly that things work a bit differently here compared to Germany. We spent our first Sunday exploring the city, trying new things, and walking around to get our bearings. Within just a few hours, we ran into some major culture shocks. If you are the next student packing your bags for this exchange, here is exactly what is going to surprise you on day one: 1. Supermarkets are actually open on

Hey everyone! If you’re reading this, it means we survived the flight and our 4-week Erasmus adventure in Tbilisi has officially begun! As IT students, we’re usually staring at code, but for the next month, the EU is actually funding us to experience a completely different country and check out its crazy-fast-growing tech scene. Our journey started on Saturday evening at the Munich Airport, and honestly, the travel gods were definitely on our side. Here is how our first night
