Tony Hanmer
“Sometimes you have to pinch yourself and think: ‘Am I living in the lord of the rings?'”
Tony, a British-Canadian who lives since 18 years in Georgia. Amazed by the unexplored history of Svaneti, Tony has always found a way to live in Svaneti, whether it was teaching English in Ushguli or later setting up a guesthouse. He is now the owner of the Hanmer Guesthouses.
“There is a lot of depth to things up here”, he explains. “If you walk through this place you’ll be kicking up the dust of a thousand years of history without even knowing it.”
Tony lives in Etseri.
