Georgia was great. It is totally safe, but of course you need to follow the common sense if you wanna hitchhike. People are nice, but they drive carelessly. They drink too much alcohol. They have this extremely strong alcohol called Cha Cha. Crazy stuff. it is poison more than being alcohol :)))
I was there for 1 month hitchhiking. and wild camping and staying with the family. I didn't want to leave at all. because over there life was fraught with joy and passion. We were not worried about daily life and we had music, food, dances, and hugs. So many hugs and love.
love and light to you
