Hitching in Georgia is easy! Short waits and very friendly people. Road conditions are quite bad so it can take some time.
 
Spots are very easy to find, just head in the right direction and you will find a suitable place to stand. Older people rarely speaks english. And a few phrases in russian can be handy( or even better in georgian!)
