Life in Georgia🇬🇪: The Unfiltered Truth

She’s lived through the old Kutaisi, modern Tbilisi, international schools, toxic workplaces, burnout, co-parenting, culture shocks, heartbreak, and moments that only Georgia can create. We talk about: 🇬🇪 What life in Georgia REALLY feels like for a foreigner 🌍 Being a foreigner here long-term 💸 Cost of living, school prices & hidden money traps ❤️ Dating Georgian men (the chaos, the charm, the generational trauma) 🧠 Identity crisis, burnout, and finding purpose 👩‍🏫 Why teachers & foreign professionals struggle here 🚨 Racism, bias & why foreigners get treated differently 🧳 Why people come to Georgia… and why some eventually leave 🔥 The emotional price of “staying for your child” It’s real, raw, emotional, funny, and painfully accurate — especially if you’ve ever tried to build a life far from home. 🎙 Modern 9 to 5 brings honest conversations about work, life, identity, relationships, and the pressure to “figure it all out” in your 20s, 30s, and 40s. 👉 Subscribe for more deep, funny, and brutally honest episodes. 👉 Comment where YOU are watching from. 👇 follow us everywhere: IG:   / modern9to5   TikTok:   / ucvdxneyuhndrfwekf5pj75w   🎥 Filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia Hosted by: Levan & Rezi Guest:   / englishwithreeka   🎙 Studio: /   / echochamber.productionstudio   — DM us for recording bookings Chapters: 00:00 Intro – Guest Reveal & Global Teaching Background 01:26 Why Americans End Up in Kutaisi + Early Georgia Stories 03:12 Culture Shock: From South Korea to Georgian Wine Country 05:14 Discovering Georgia (2011) & Teaching Policemen in Kutaisi 08:01 Host Families, Local Culture & Falling in Love With Georgia 10:09 Political Shakeups, Leaving Georgia & Returning Years Later 11:33 Raising a Georgian Daughter & Working in International Schools 13:21 School Politics, Burnout & Leaving Before the Pandemic 16:20 Life in Georgia as a Foreigner – Pros & Harsh Realities 18:11 Limited Careers, Money Stress & Student Loan Pressure 20:41 Advice for Young Expats Moving to Georgia 22:17 Why Georgia Is Difficult Long-Term (Finances, Stability) 24:59 Trying to Build a Career/Business in Georgia 25:37 Georgian Culture: Unpredictability, Cancellations & Boundaries 27:13 Teacher Salaries, Pay Gaps & Why Locals Earn So Little 29:23 Dating in Georgia – Chaos, Double Standards & Generational Issues 32:23 Georgian Men, Family Dynamics & Relationship Expectations 34:43 Changes in Georgian Men Over 14 Years 36:51 Dating in Georgia vs Other Countries 37:50 Belonging, Identity & Feeling “Not From Here, Not From There” 39:55 Being a 40-Year-Old Woman Dating Younger Men in Georgia 41:09 Foreigners in Georgia: Race, Bias & Unequal Experiences 44:07 Being Misidentified Abroad & How People Treat You 47:24 Where International Students Actually Hang Out 49:57 Georgia Is a Dream… Until You Have Real Responsibilities 52:13 Cost of Living, Schools & The Myth of “Cheap Georgia” 55:13 Georgia as a Vacation vs a Forever Home 56:01 Content Creation in Georgia – Small Market Problems 58:59 Career Confusion, Identity & Finding Purpose 61:15 Homesickness, Co-Parenting & Choosing Stability for Her Daughter 64:05 Closing Thoughts – Life Decisions & Emotional Tradeoffs
