I went on a solo private trip to Armenia, Georgia, and Uzbekistan. The countries are so unique and off the beaten track. Armenia had awesome monasteries, Georgia had tasty wine and cool old towns, and Uzbekistan had amazing ancient buildings. I had a blast! If you like history and tasty food, go check them out.

My wife and I were so excited for our trip to Armenia, Georgia, and Uzbekistan, and I must say it was an amazing adventure! These three countries have so much to offer, and I had a great time exploring them.

Armenia was a pleasant surprise with its stunning landscapes and rich history. The capital city, Yerevan, is vibrant and full of energy. The ancient monasteries, like Geghard and Noravank, are breathtaking. I also got to try some delicious Armenian cuisine, especially the traditional barbecue called "kebab."

Georgia was another highlight of the trip. Tbilisi, the capital, is a charming city with a mix of old and new. I loved exploring the narrow streets of the old town and trying Georgian wine, which is famous worldwide. The country's diverse landscapes, including the Caucasus Mountains, are perfect for nature lovers.

Uzbekistan was like stepping into a fairy tale with its stunning architecture in cities like Samarkand and Bukhara. The ancient Silk Road history is visible everywhere, and the blue-tiled buildings are simply stunning. Don't forget to try the local plov, a delicious rice dish.
