Tatia Mgvdliashvili

At Altihut, everyone does a bit of everything, but Tatia does all of it at once. 
One moment she's welcoming guests, the next she's hauling firewood, helping in the kitchen, or pointing someone toward the best viewpoint; wherever there's something to be done… it is already done, because she's already been there and already did it, she’s always several steps ahead.

Find a sketchbook, a handful of pencils, or an unfinished drawing lying around Altihut, and odds are it's hers. Don't bother tidying it up, she'll be back for it in five minutes, or five hours, whenever the idea finally makes it onto paper.

Tatia is an art student, and drawing is the closest thing she has to a religion. Off the clock, she's usually on a bicycle. Hiking is still new territory for her, but Altihut is what made her fall in love with the mountains, she found out the hard way that they're not just a view, they're a habit.

Ask her what she loves most about Altihut and she'll say the people: their stories, the strangers who turn into friends over one dinner. Talk to her long enough and you'll either end up in a great conversation or unknowingly become the subject of her next sketch.
