From the place of Dali to that of Maro, the distance is not big. Both are located in areas where Tbilisi is progressively transformed into small villages where agriculture becomes an important activity. Sure, there are many close-by job opportunities in the city, but Tbilisi is also a hub for consumption...

Remarkable women of Georgia: Nargizi Zibzibadze and Maka Lolomadze

And then we met again when FinExCoop began its activities in 2019. At that time, she was also working with Maka, a specialist of cultural tourism and a Georgian-French interpreter.
