Crossing Borders: A Night on the New Russian Built First Class Sleeper Train from Armenia to Georgia

Hello and welcome to Yerevan, Armenia. Armenia is a landlocked country located in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. It shares borders with Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, Iran to the south, and Turkey to the west. The capital and the largest city of Armenia is Yerevan.

Tonight I’m going to catch a cross border train from Yerevan to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. I have never been on an international train before, I don’t know what to expect, but I think it’s gonna be an interesting ride! Let’s go!
