Lying at the eastern end of the Black Sea and known as the green heart of the Caucasus Mountains, Georgia is a country of exceptional natural beauty, long, multi-ethnic history and of course the land where wine was born!

If you are looking for an off-the-beaten-track holiday this summer, Yomads, World Expeditions' new brand tailored especially for travellers in their 20s and 30s, can take you there.

The mantra of Yomads, which launched last year, is to offer a collection of intimate and well-priced experiences. It is aimed at youthful travellers who are keen to see hidden and inspiring corners of the world with a group of adventure-goers from around the globe. Adhering to strong environmental principles, all trips have been crafted by – or in close consultation with – people within the target age bracket and at the moment cover 20 countries.

Describing the Yomads experience, World Expeditions UK Manager Gordon Steer says:

“Yomads offer big adventures with a small environmental footprint. We recognise that travelling with like-minded companions is a highlight of the Yomads experience and that young independent travellers like their freedom to roam.

Living the Yomads' lifestyle means that travellers will have the time and freedom to live in the moment – and they are also assured that they won't be travelling with people their parents' age!”
