I can't help confessing my love to Sheki
Traveled to Azerbaijan, Armenia, GeorgiaI can't help confessing my love to Sheki that's in Azerbaijan. Actually, I traveled through the Caucasus region and managed to visit 3 countries including Armenia! I've met some guys from Armenia here in Toronto and they shared some facts about this country before, so I felt super excited to set off to Yerevan.
