Locals are generally friendly and easy to make friends with. Im a POC and had reservations before arriving here, but left thoroughly in love with the place. - Aug 2024
It's not hard to make friends. - Aug 2024
Very easy to make friends with locals especially if you speak Georgian. There are tensions between Georgians and the Russians who came after the start of the war in Ukraine. - Aug 2023
Georgians are extremely friendly and open to westerners. It is possible to make local friends particularly if you take interest in the country, culture, and find common interests. - Jun 2020
There are not very many people of color in Georgia. That said, if black Peace Corps volunteers can wade into rural communities and be accepted and loved, I'd say anyone can! Most Georgians are pretty friendly and hospitable. However, I am white, so I really can't speak to what it would be like to be a person of color in Georgia. - Jan 2019
