From the founder
Why we love Georgia
Gordon
Ireland has been one of the most in-demand programs in our travel community. So what is it about Ireland that captivates the imagination of so many of us?
The humour and charm of the Irish people is certainly part of it, as well as the subconscious pull of heritage for those of us with Irish descendants. And of course there are the landscapes, and that marvellous, iridescent shade of green that covers the hills dotted with sheep.
It's that green that stands out most to me. There is something about the aliveness in those shades that speaks to the mysterious allure of Ireland, where the stories of the fae and other elemental energies have seeped into the landscapes and communities across the island. To hear it from the Irish, they are not just stories; they are often presented more as memories.
Perhaps Ireland is one of those places where you can reawaken that child-like sense of wonderment that, just maybe, there really is magic out there in the world. After all, this is why we travel, is it not?

Practicalities
Things you'll want to know
Do I need a visa?
Canadians don't need one for Georgia. Azerbaijan needs an e-visa, which we help with.
Is the food good?
Famously. Khachapuri, khinkali and Georgian wine, which has been made the same way for 8,000 years.
Is it hard travelling?
Some roads are rough and some hotels are simple. The welcome makes up for it.
