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
Hi everyone, I’m Simin, 35 years old, living in Isfahan – one of the most beautiful and historical cities in Iran. I’m a cheerful and energetic girl who loves meeting new friends, spending time with people, and discovering different cultures. Traveling the world is my biggest dream, and I started my journeys about two years ago to make that dream come true. I’m married to my best friend and travel partner, and together we always welcome new friends. I studied architecture and now run my own small business designing and selling invitation cards. I’d be really happy to get to know more people and cultures and make good friends. So don’t hesitate to send me a message! I can host you or we can explore the city together.
