Telavi, the former capital of the Kingdom of Kakheti, is a beautiful town with spectacular views of the Alazani Valley and Caucasian mountains. In the 18th century, King Erekle II reigned from Telavi. The palace can still be seen, and the statue of King Erekle stands proudly in the middle of the city's town square.

When my mom was at my age (twenty-four), she already had a ring on her finger, a family, two kids, and a very clear idea about her life.

I made this fateful decision at 22, having tried myself in a banking job (that I hated).
