Iran, Solo travel
I was very lucky to visit Iran in a politically peaceful period. It was one of the most memorable trips I have ever done. I felt very safe and managed to communicate with the locals despite the language barrier. They were very welcoming and helpful. My itinerary was Kashan, Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz, Tehran, and I spent two weeks there. The architecture is just splendid. I hope to return one day to explore more the natural wonders.

It's really hot in Chabahar, there's not much food varieties, the food tastes like Indian food and it's so spicy To visit touristic places and nature you have to hire a driver and it takes a 2 hour ride to get to places It's worthy going on a 3 day trip to chabahar to visit that pure nature but not more than 3

It is safe as long as you have a local guide. I did not experience fraud because I am a native but decievers are everywhere. Generally speaking, I feel safe traveling solo but there are some safety tips you should notice.

Due to recent situation due to sanction, the inflation has raised to its high level, so the rate of being robbed has decreased. So, it is better to be more careful with having cash with u and also about ur belongings

About me
I believe the greatest form of gratitude is being present in the moment and enjoying life. My mission is to enjoy the astonishing simplicities of the world: to share love with people from another culture, to taste the different flavors of their food, to watch the beautiful landscapes of their country alongside them, to expand my lived experience, to see the endless beauties of the world, and to live the undiscovered atmospheres of my own small world.

About me I’m Elina, an English teacher and creative soul who loves meaningful conversations and cultural exchange. I enjoy slow travel, meeting kind people, and experiencing places through real human connection rather than just sightseeing. I’m respectful, easygoing, and grateful for shared moments—whether that’s a walk, a good chat, or a simple cup of tea.
