I flew into Ganja by transiting through London and Istanbul, before landing in Ganja, a city in Western Azerbaijan. Ganja itself was founded in the 6th AD and it was renamed Elisabethpol during the Russian Empire from 1804-1918.
This is a 7-week solo traveling throughout the Caucasus region. This journey started in Azerbaijan, crossing the border into Georgia before finalizing my trip to Armenia.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveller and KZread creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveller, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.
My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher-my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on KZread, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.
Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on KZread.

Thank you so much! I only have 3 videos from Azerbaijan and wasn't particularly delve too much into its culture :) Hope you still enjoyed this video.
Just discovered your channel (KZread recommendation 🙂 ). I am from Azerbaijan and grew up in Mingachevir, a city close to Ganja. What I love most about Ganja is its red-brick buildings all around the city. Ganja was the first capital of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic that existed between 1918-1920 until it fell to Soviet occupation. Anyways, it was a pleasure to watch. Greetings from Montreal, Canada 🙂

Owszem jest tam bieda ale te kraje są piękne i ci ludzie są dużo bardziej otwarci i przyjaźni to naprawdę dobrzy ludzie znający prawdziwe wartości ludzkie. Ludzie takich krajów jak Niemcy, Holandia, Francja powoli zapominają czym są te wartości przez pogoń za pieniądzem i wyścig szczurów. Pozdrawiam z Polski. Powodzonka👍👌

Yes, but Azerbaijan is not poor. It is oil and gas country. The capital of Azerbaijan - Baku is the biggest city of Caucasus region and one of the beautiful cities in the world. By the way the polish architects at the beginning of the 20th century built many beautiful buildings in Baku🤩. You can search on internet.

You made an incredible video, watching the video I travel with you to places I will probably never get to. This is the first time I know anything about this Ganja city, I only knew about Baku city that it is the capital of this country. This city is one of the beautiful places in the post-Soviet countries. It amazed me with its historic vibe with beautiful architecture with great views and friendly people. I liked to see that Lada cars are still used in taxis there, and we had these cars years ago, now they are only for collectors. Thank you so much Syifa for sharing this wonderful video with us.✨

Служил я солдатом в Рязанском Воздушно-Десантном Училище в 1990-91 годах. А курсанты раз в год выезжали на самые важные учения как раз в окрестности города Гянджа, который тогда назывался Кировабад. И после их возвращения в училище начиналась, во-первых, бешеная пьянка привезённым из Азербайджана местным коньяком (бренди), а во-вторых, затем следовала долгая обстоятельная торговля им - как сейчас помню, вплоть до 5-ти литровых пластиковых канистр 😄😄😄

Great to see you in Ganja 😍It`d be better if you got support from local people. If you asked the staff at the place you`re staying, they`d direct you to the regional destination center (which is located in the government building, you could find the office if you entered the door which you were standing with the guy you asked about the building 😁), their representatives would take you to more beautiful places (especially Göygöl - please google it) and tell more colorful stories. I watched other videos too, you should definitely come to Azerbaijan again. There are beautiful places to see, especially Baku, Ismayilli, Guba, Lerik, Astara 😉

Thank you so much Alexa! I use various different make up brands. I generally use a foundation from Guerlain, concealer from Shiseido, By Terry loose powder, Tom Ford for a cream contour, Guerlain bronzer, Stila cream blush, Charlotte Tilbury blusher. Eyebrows are generally from Benefit and MAC, mascaras are a mix of Maybelline and Loreal. Lipliner and lipsticks are from Lisa Eldridge. Sorry if this isnt the most helpful reply as I dont tend to stick to one brand only 😂 I though, learn that make up technique is way more important to learn from make up artist. I can recommend Hung Vanggo, Andrea Ali, Nic Chapman and Lisa Eldridge youtube channel to learn great make up techniques. Hope it helps a bit 🥰 Let me know if you still have got questions.

I looked through our (now cancelled) travel papers and itinerary to try to find "Ganja" but couldn't find the city until I realised that is "Gəncə" in Azerbaijani and it was on our itinerary! Meanwhile, I can enjoy those countries by proxy through you. Thank you! Safe travels.
