266: Is Georgia A Good Plan B Location For Expats?

Mikkel Thorup gives his analysis of the country of Georgia as a potential Plan B location for Expats on the Expat Money Show

Today, I will deliver an in-depth report on my time spent in Georgia. This is part two of my series breaking down my experience in each of the four countries I visited on my recent trip. I started in episode 263 with my report on Turkey, and I will soon deliver two more reports on my trips to Armenia and Azerbaijan.

CONCLUSION

As you can tell from this episode, I don’t like to sugarcoat anything or overhype a country when I am investigating it for clients and potential clients. As I’ve said many times, there is no “Shangri La” perfectly free country that exists, and that’s why I always set my feet on the ground in a country and go through residency processes myself so that I can relay the reality to my clients, and I take the same approach with this podcast when discussing these countries. 

As with any other country, Georgia has a mix of good and bad qualities, and only you can be the final judge on which countries strike the right chord with you.
