Are you guilty of craving to travel and explore other countries and cultures while you haven't discovered the hidden gems of your country?
This is the lesson I learned on my own experience. I started appreciating my motherland, its heritage and traditions only when I settled down in another country.
That is why every time I visit Armenia, I try my best to make the most of it, walk as much as possible and not to miss any event while there.
I purchase lots of souvenirs with the hope to build a small piece of my country in my house, try every dish, especially the ones taking me back to my childhood.
Armenian Traditional Sweet Bread "Gata" |
This summer I had an incredibly unforgettable time in Armenia. I visited new cities, tried new dishes and got acquainted with new traditions.
I also did my first ever hiking (4km in total) under the rain.
The first 2 kilometers was a steep route down a gorge ( I was about to give up here) and the second one along a muddy forest path.
For the Wordless Wednesday I will skip the process and difficulties of the tour and only highlight the satisfied and beautiful ending pictures.
Have you ever been to Armenia?
If no, would you like to?
