We were here quite late in the day, around 19:30 when it was already getting dark and there was only very little traffic still going. Luckily a friendly Armenian took us to Alaverdi, gave us his phone number and even called a Hotel and reserved a room for us. Overall a good spot I think but traffic really dies down in the evening even though its the main north south road in Armenia.―leberkassemmerl

Русские номера, армянские, грузинские... Особо никто не останавливается. На этом моменте я понял что довольно долго двигаюсь в Армению но ничего с этим поделать не мог. Кто то из местных окликнул меня "Джонни" и подвез до таможни―xexov

a bus from Marneuli to Sadakhlo picks up people along the road and it can even take us to the border post. It costs 1 GEL a person. Hop on when you see that bus.―Adleymaria

When going to Armenia, it might be a good idea to find a ride before Sadakhlo, as most people will feel uneasy if a foreign-looking, strange person with a backpack wants to cross a border with them. Still, with some patience, you will always find a ride :)―Anonymous

It took me 5 cars to get to Alaverdi and only a bit of extra waiting here so i could proof again how this country is hitchhikers-friendly. On the other side, arriving here as a guy alone from Marneuli was time-consuming so i suggest to find a direct ride from Tbilisi.―GiovanniTonucci

A touristic church for busking is here uphill in Haghpat, while a covered camping spot can be provided on the left of the shop on the main road.―GiovanniTonucci

They made me sleep on a couch at the park café next to the railway pedestrian bridge and then i continued hitchhiking to Gyumri. I also met 2 chinese bikepackers camping at the shop after the intersection to Haghpat in the east of Alaverdi.These 2 gas stations have public wifi. Super kind russian guy took me to Vanadzor and had me refusing his money offer :)
