If you think about digital nomads, you usually think about Bali, Thailand or Latin America, sometimes Portugal. But Tbilisi, Georgia? Not really. Until now.

This is what I will not tell you in this article: that the world will not be the same after Corona. Because that’s kind of what you can read everywhere already, and I’m not really sure yet whether this is stating the obvious or rather an exaggeration. Right now, the…
