One year traveling through 12 countries.
December 2016,
I leave Goa in India to arrive in Tehran (Iran) for the first time. I have no guide book and I knwo almost nothing about the country. I’m happy I’ve haven’t read the horrible things about Iran!
I follow my intention and i Just want to give it a try and travel in one middle east country. I can say that it has been one of my most exciting experience of travel.
I’ve been touring the world for more than 25 years now and i must say that Iran touched my heart in many ways.
I know that Iran is not on the travelers list of countries to visit . I may say that it’s a chance for the happy few of us who witnessed many wonders but it’s also a big mistake for the one who keep on being afraid by the negative propaganda of mass medias, and worried by unstable neighbors. Iran is a safe country to travel from North to South and East to West.
I can remember the surprised and baffled faces of people when I said that I will visit this country on my own! Iranians people have no idea that they have such a bad image outside! How could they?
Iran is home of 19 UNESCO world heritage sites and waiting to be explored by new visitors.
I’ve never been treated so well by complete strangers.
I’ve met wonderful spirits and artists to work with like this very talented iranian musician Nima Delnavazi.
8 months later, I’m back again to Iran discovering the beauty of northern part of the country near Azerbaidjan region.
The Iranian hospitality is above any expectaction!! I’ve been invited to take tea almost everyday and everywhere! From the city to the nomad camp in the desert!
So many reasons to explore Iran and legendary places such as Shiraz, Isfahan, Yadz,
I hope that you won’t be afraid anymore and to put Iran in your bucket list! You won’t regret it!
