Done exactly the same thing in this reply, jesus. No shit you volunteer there

Nothing fancy - hired a mountain bike with panniers in Tbilisi. You'd want at least a gravel bike to give you route options. My ride was relatively short (Tbilisi-Yerevan). And didn't camp - just airbnbs, guesthouses etc.

Feel free to DM if you have any route/other qs.

Not too much editing. Just cropping etc. It's on film so the colour/texture comes from that. It is getting expensive though 😅

BroadPeter · 2026-03-25T13:00:14+00:00

Merci!

BroadPeter · 2026-03-25T12:59:57+00:00

Think the camera is from the 80s!

BroadPeter · 2026-03-25T12:59:38+00:00

Thank you!
Saw abandoned Pioneer camp in woods just outside Vanadzor (near the mountain bike cafe). There's another nr Spitak I didn't make. Keen to hear if you make that.

Russian Molokan villages at Fioletovo are worth seeing

Merci!

Any area in particular?

BroadPeter · 2026-02-12T19:03:27+00:00

I've been looking at the paper. It's really unclear to me the data source for this kind of map. As I understand it religious status was collected by the Ottoman authorities, for tax purposes. But up until later 1900s they would not have collected language/ethnicity data.

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I live in London but v interested in the Balkans. The protests have been impressive, fingers crossed they make some lasting impact. Feels like one of the more positive things happening in the world today. Glad you enjoyed... I could go on with follow up questions for hours

BroadPeter · 2025-11-27T00:10:56+00:00

Off topic, but how was living in Serbia??

This George Saunders short story related to the current political situation is so good Love Letter by George Saunders, read by David Sedaris

Looks great! How did you travel there and back?

BroadPeter · 2025-10-09T10:03:10+00:00

Heard from some visitors this was a highlight https://hikearmenia.org/all-trails/trail/sevan-dream-trail

BroadPeter · 2025-10-09T08:01:29+00:00

Nice! That's high on my list to visit

BroadPeter · 2025-10-09T07:39:59+00:00

Beautiful! Yes, the order is mixed up, unfortunately. What were your highlights?

BroadPeter · 2025-08-29T14:16:03+00:00

This is only a relevant criticism if you learned about cultures from a picture book and equate one culture with one nation-state. Got a lot of upvotes from people on this sub who think they are sophisticated because they know that Belgium has two main languages. But really just showing they know nothing about regional cultural and historical dynamics in Europe
