Ben Fletcher — Caucasus Unlock
The person behind this

I'm Ben. I moved to Tbilisi in 2022 and never went back.

I was paying £1,800 a month for a flat in Sheffield. A Reddit post told me I could get a decent one-bedroom in Tbilisi for €350. I flew out "just to check." Three years later, I've been to all three Caucasus countries, picked up enough Georgian to order khinkali, and eaten churchkhela in places with no English signs.

Caucasus Unlock is the guide I wish existed when I landed. Real prices. Honest takes. What's worth the potholed road and what isn't.
