With a population of 80 million, there are many ordinary Iranians that are avid mountaineers, climbers, skiers and walkers.

After reading a variety of books and articles, I was extremely interested to experience Iran’s way of living, based on a long, long history.

Isfahan came with immense variety of must-sees:...

Traveling to Iran during the summer months? That may not be the first period that you think of when planning a trip to this special country. Logical, because in summer it can get very hot in some places. In the summer of 2019, we boarded a plane to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Warm, political tension, fuss with Trump … dangerous to almost everyone I spoke to...
