travel right. pack light : GEORGIA

The atmosphere is pretty casual and there is no need to bring any formal dress. It can still remain pretty warm in the fall with highs in the 70’s and lows in the 50’s. The key to maintaining your comfort is to bring ample layers and protection from sun, wind and insects. Less is more and leave valuables at home!

Currency

The currency in Georgia is the LARI. If you are bringing cash please do so in smaller bills (20's are fine) as larger ones are sometimes harder to change.

ATM's are widely available throughout the country and credit cards are widely excepted though maybe less so outside the city.

You will need money for the meals that are on your own, any souvenir shopping you want to do, any alcohol you consume, extra snacks and if you want to do any additional activities. 

A fantastic app to download to your phone to make conversions easier is XE CURRENCY.

Tipping

Tipping for the group during our group meals and activities is generally included and handled by our local guide. As always if you feel a service given to you deserves it, then it is up to your discretion i.e. driver, hotel staff, instructor....

Typically the tip for our local guide and driver is not included and is handled by the group by the end of the trip either on an individual basis or on a group basis. This will be discussed with your Purposeful Nomad guide. It is completely up to your discretion but general ranges run between $5-$10 per day for the guide and for the driver- $3-$5 per day.
