- Traveling to Iran is much different from what we see about this country on the news.
We had a 40 day tour in Iran discovering its nature, history and kind people who made us fall in love with the diverse culture of this land. We truly hope that one day more tourists can travel to Iran and experience this amazing place themselves.

HELLO THERE:
We are Joe and Liisu, relatively new to CZcams but really excited to be a part of this community. We live small and sustainably in my home on wheels (a lovely van called Freyja) and from time to time out of our backpacks (we have not named the backpacks yet). On this channel, we ask you to join us on our travel adventures off the beaten track where we show you the beauty of untouched nature and wander into places most tourists don't dare to go.
I am proud to be Iranian ... I was born, raised, studied, fell in love, enjoyed life and will die here ❤❤❤

What if you were gay? How do they get on there?
@@Mcfreddo As this video noted, the decisions of the government, shouldn't reflect so harshly on those of the people.
We are aware gay rights are not good in Iran, or most of the planet, lets be honest... i'm british.. we had a WW2 hero, one of the smartest, most important figures in WW2 strategic victory... and he killed himself because he was gay, and persecuted, it was a crime here at that time...
My local prison, it was most famous for housing a gay poet... within the last 100yrs I think...
And as the video also pointed out... what should be a reminder... it was only around 50yrs ago, that Iran was actually much MORE free, before we assassinated their democratically elected leader, for his socialist leaning ideals - and we, us, our governments, ended up pushing dictators on the Iranian people, because we did not care, and only had our self interests in mind (of course our governments, we knew nothing).
And the rise of religious extremism, as a cover for authoritarian control, only came about as a consequence of that meddling and history.
All this suffering and sadness, not the fault of Iranians, and all very recent.
And again, I remind you... even those on our planet who consider themselves most civilised... have only been so for the last 2 seconds of human existence.
.... and still somehow... their/ our, civilised ideals... don't seem to extend to putting human welfare above profits? ... Or seeing our shared humanity over the artificial lines that divide us?
Any rights any person may perceive themselves to have, can be 'taken away' as quickly as the wrong hands deem it necessary or in their interests to do so.
As we see in so many countries, our own included.
@@Quasiguambo Very good. I wasn't asking for myself, I was asking for his response as of course religion poisons everything as Christopher Hitchens said so succinctly and that people outside the diversity group, truly minimise it, they don't even notice.
And I do realise why Apple products have a piece taken out of their apple logo. Homage to Alan Turing. He was also investigating mathematically upon how things can self organise and that means no sky daddy oversight.
But thank you.
Indonitian gay man with ring that he was married went to Iran no one bothered him. He was welcomed. But he was looking at good looking Iranian men I thought was not good but he was polite.
im proud to be born and raised in iran💎
thanks for showing the bright side of my country to the world👏🏻💯

It's true that once we manage to put "politics" aside, Iran deserves the term "civilization" more than many other countries: it is indeed Persia.
I've been watching vlogs shot by foreigners in Iran for almost 4 years: I never get tired of them .
❤❤thank you bro❤

Iran has been Uran since Achemindas(Darius Achaemenid's inscription in Biston), those Westerners called it Persia.

Iran was always iran, never ever us Iranians called here as persia :)) only greeks did.
What they don't want anyone to know is Iran and its "cultural zone"(which spreads far beyond present borders) is the mother of civilisation .

Yes
The wild viking, the world needs more love, more people like you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏
Iranian people very nice and friendly
Because they worshiped a stranger with blue eyes
@@masoudshakibai87 didn't get it!?
nope@@masoudshakibai87
@@revolutionary-brother means Iranian people adore people with blue eyes. They find them really attractive
There is blogger iranian married to Norwegian woman. She cooks delicious Persian food & speaks it herself and likes to live in Iran not so much in Norway. I forgot his CZcams channel name. I watch it. Very nice.
We are all one Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Iran

Not just these countries but all Aryan/Iranian people of The Median - Achaemenid Empire are all the same.
@@delaramsalmassi4063 I also love my languages and these three countries speak Persian and have a common culture
@@mohammadakbari6051 Yes. I wish from the very bottom of my heart all our 400 million Aryan/Iranian Peoples of The Median - Achaemenid Empire would become one country. I only wish.

@@delaramsalmassi4063 Yes, I am proud of the history of our Aryan culture, you are Iranian
It was a great video. But as an Iranian I should say singing in public is not forbidden. What you saw in Isfahan, that peaple sang under the bridge, is not because singing in public is forbidden. Singing under the bridges in Isfahan is a long tradition there. I was born and grew up in Isfahan and know the traditions there very well. People from Isfahan are famous in Iran for their nice voices and because of the echo that forms under the bridges which makes the voice nicer to hear, many specially young people in Isfahan prefer to sing there. Just wanted you to know. I am glad that you visited Iran and experienced the hospitality of the Iranians. Hope to see you there again.❤❤❤
How ironic that you had white Christmas in Iran!
It is my pet peeve explaining to people in U.S. that we have snow in Iran and folks don’t travel with camels.
In fact, I saw a camel for the first time in San Diego zoo, and have not seen snow for ages in California.
Yes!
Sadly outsiders know barely nothing about Iran, but I hope it one day changes 😁👍
what's your point? stupidity knows no borders lol btw there are many camels in iran and in places like yazd etc it is a big part of their diet. You may wanna visit iran once ( no, iranmall and visiting your uncle does not really count lol )
Not sure which americans you are pointing to....... some of the greatest experts on iran are americans. there are 100's but
Nikki Keddie comes to mind.... even if you study iranian history etc. a decent iranian professor will point you to her books.
Such an eye opener, we learnt alot about this beautiful country and its people through your vlog, thank you for sharing your travels with us.
بعد از سرنگونی دیکتاتور به ایران بیایید خوش آمدین ❤❤❤
I'm so glad you shared this and opened the eyes of some about this side of Iran and its people. It will be a special memory for you two, I'm sure. The way you summed it up at the end is just beautiful. Keep exploring our wonderful world!
Follow us✌🏻
Thank you for this. What is happening in that region, and what might happen, is horrifying when you look at all the lovely people who are at the mercy of their leaders, and leaders from around the world. None of which will have any skin in the fight. It makes one feel small and hopeless when you know you can do little more than protest for them. Thank you for pulling back the curtain.
ive been watching this channel for over a year and always entertained in a calm way.
amazing video! thanks for sharing! I also did travel for more than 9 years, and visited 65 countries but not Iran-yet. love to visit!
Thanks for your interesting posts. One similarity with Iran is that the governments in the West lie about 90%, too.
Wild Vikings! I'm overjoyed to hear that your trip to Iran was without difficulty and that you've enjoyed your time there. Most importantly, I'm deeply thankful that in these turbulent times, kind-hearted individuals like you are showcasing Iran in such a positive light. I hope your adventures continue to be exciting, and I sincerely appreciate your visit to Iran.
My dear most people in the worlds are aware 80 Million Iranian, are hostage to the EVOL Islamic Regime! Every Body in the world knew Iranian regime is supporting the terrorist,not Iranian people. Enter net Utub pad cast are sending every news out, even the one called shaped they have phone. Radio transistor . The world is getting smaller.
This video made me emotional. Wow, thank you for showing the bright, beautiful side of my country! As you said, we are totally different from our government. I am glad that you enjoyed and had great memories from my country. By the way, I am from Shiraz, and it’s interesting and weird for me whenever I see Shiraz wine in a foreign supermarket. 😄
فدای شما بشم خواهر خوب هموطنم.....به امید جشن نور و رقص و رهایی در روز آزادی😢🌹
great
nice, I am Iranian and I am proud to be Iranian, I have lived in the Netherlands for more than 2 years. European people, think differently about Iran.
They think we still ride Kamel in our streets and it is not a good country. thanks for your video.
Iranians are very famous for their hospitality and sharing of food , which can not be found in other countries.
People and Iran and government totally think differently and it should not be mixed
😂😂😂
Thank you both for enlightening hopefully alot of us too how life is there. I feel bless to have experienced you genuine love to share this part of the world. It looks beautiful.
So glad the two of you got out safely.
Stay safe

Thanks for visiting our country, love from Iran ❤
They have to be thankful for being in Iran. S=Iran has o beautiful landscape, friendly, peaceful en lovely people. Also their journey is so cheap. Petrol en meals are really cheap en they don't need to go to hotel because of our hospitality!
For what are you thankful, that he showed Iran like a backward country which Iran clearly isn’t!
@@sam423 I don't think a lot of people understood what this guy said. We're deprived people from love and even one seemingly positive word gets us to thank people like him for no good reason.
@@sbaf1343 100% correct my Brother, unfortunately our people lost their pride with all this brainwashing in the western and from the west controlled mainstream media
I’m an Iranian who lives in the US for the past 23 years, and I’m visiting Iran with my American wife. We have never heard such negative comments about the culture. I don’t like to hear an uneducated person like you make comments about the country and government that was selected by these people. So please get educated first, before you crush an amazing place like Iran. With the poor budget you are traveling on, you can’t see the lavish life of the Iranians that live here. These people do not see freedom as being able to drink alcohol or uncovering their hair. It’s honorable to be modest and most feel glad to preserve their history through classy public socialization. Even in Iranian historical art, 2000 years or so ago, social life was displayed this way.
Watch Peter Santanelo, a CZcamsr from USA, “11 reasons you have to visit Iran “. This will be a more proper education of Iran.
@kenclarj5257 Exactly my point. Hopefully unconscious but certainly arrogance is reeking all over the place in this story.
Oh so interesting ❤️ quite emotional at times. I really did enjoy. Thank you 😊
Thank you for pointing out that we (Iranian) completely different from the government.
Lol
Unbiased. Warming the heart.Thank you. We don't know the World. Media sucks. The only way is to be bold and travel. As you do. Namaste...
THAT WAS AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR THE PEEK!
We’re still fighting for our freedom in Iran. This fight has still a long way to go and we’ll never forget those that gave their lives for freedom. Thank you for visiting us ❤
I am from Iran, living in Australia for quite sometime, I enjoyed your nice video. I am happy you guys liked my rich country.
Amazing video man. I was in tears watching this, As an iranian who lives outside the country and hopes to go back one day under different circumstances, I am so sad for the people of Iran, how amazing they are and how amazing the country is, yet to be so oppressed and live with so little freedom and wealth.
this vlog was so joyful and realistic, I am glad that you two beautiful people had great time in my country❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are mislead by Western propaganda
Wow…this was beautiful to watch! ❤
❤
❤
Thank you for your invaluable efforts in changing the world to the better❤
It's very nice that you came to our land, it doesn't happen very often that someone wants to choose Iran for traveling because of the issues we all know...
You are a very cute and lovely couple and i only get good feeling and vibes from your videos ❤😍
It was the first time that I saw someone like you tell all the facts of my country, most of them are ignorant. Also, I hope you will return to our land Iran in better days and we will have a better experience all together and in a free Iran... #WomenLifeFreedom 🕊
oh, btw you have to check Gilan and Tehran too. :D
Only the one that once needed to be seen, really know how to see the one in need.
I’m homesick and have been finding some solace in watching the travelers videos from Iran. Your final words are the best understanding I’ve ever seen of a foreigner about us Iranians. Deeply moved by your insight. I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Iran.
So glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words!
It's so sad to think of living in a country where happiness must be kept under ground. I wish for love and happiness in Iran. ❤ I pray 4 the day when my Iranian sisters may feel the wind flow freely through their hair! Blessed Be!
What do you mean by that , I’m an iranian women and we have all the freedom you see the freedom in walking almost naked on your streets we have dignity and respect for our society in our culture we respect the public space stop importing your culture to other countries in the name of democracy keep it for your self and stop poking your noses in other countries
I am Iranian. What he says is just a propaganda about my country, and I am sorry that he coudn't find out about the real Iran. His words are exact words you hear from western media propaganda. He even couldn't get the right sense from the people who were singing under the bridge in Isfahan.
@Dyoung...Sorry to see that you watch CNN and Fox which is controlled by the Kappa tribe.
Do me a favor and just search Tehrans malls, metro and night life to get a better perspective. Visiting Iran is a blessing and is like Visiting Vatican. If you haven't visited a Vatican or Iran, you haven't lived a life. You will be an enlightened person if you ever visit Iran. You will understand how much you have been brained washed.
Happiness must be kept underground?? 🤣🤣
Why? Because iran doesn't have clubs bars and nightclubs? Because that's where happiness only exists of course..
Don't worry because even though such things are illegal officially they are almost everywhere in the country and people who like to party and drink do it all the time.
@@azita6782of course it's Iran through the lense of the average clueless westerner, but nevertheless it's a good introduction to iran for those people that wouldn't otherwise watch anything about it.

welcome! glad you had a fun time in iran, it's a waste you couldn't stay in isfahan more since you could have celebrated the chrismas in new-jolfa along with the armenian people. thanks for showing the truth of our country to the world. the situation is unfortunate but have we lost hope? heck no. many people tried to put iran to her knees but she has been standing here for thousands of years, the times change but it's the culture and indentity of iran that is immortal!! in hope for a day when we can share this beautifull culture with the world
Thanks for visit Iran it's nature is so amazing I enjoy your sharing my friend🤝 from India thank you so much may God give you more successful and healthy life 🤲🏻

Thank you for showing this side of Iran. It really looks like such a fascinating country. I especially love what you say about the people not being the same as the government. That is true of so many places. Great video.

Loved your coverage of Iran.
Thank you
as a iranian I have to say the happines is not hidden if you spend night in tehran you will find out night life of tehran or other big city of iran like shiraz ... iranian people have very good nigth life , live night more than many europe and western country
and if you want to understand many layers of iranian people must spend much more time
Incredible work ❤ Thanks for sharing the truth about Iran and its people vs those who take them hostages.
Hey man we love our country and our government and everything about Iran. honestly we believe that Iran always been in right side and fight for humanity . It's part of our culture.
We love our country but you love government because they represent your ideology not Iranian people

Welcome to Iran and I wish you a pleasant and safe journey. The movie 300 that was made in Hollywood was all distortion and lies and that movie was a huge insult to the noble people of Iran and you insulted us in a way by replaying this movie. Let me tell you that Khasyar Shah was a beautiful and tall king, who was also a very resourceful and powerful person
I loved your video. Thank you. I left Tehran 45 years ago and live in Los Angeles area since then. Hopefully will visit the sites in your video when I go to Iran for a visit ❤

Thanks for coming to Iran and making this video. Hope to see you one day in Tehran.
I'm so happy you enjoyed your trip to Iran! The cities may have seemed grey due to high air pollution during your visit, but in the spring, you'll see vibrant colors everywhere. Make sure to check out the full river in Esfahan around March and April for a beautiful sight. There's so much more to explore in Iran - I hope you get the chance to visit again soon! ❤️
Hey Joe and Liisu Iran 🇮🇷 is Beautiful as are most Countries BUT its your INTERACTION WITH THE ORDINARY PEOPLE THAT MAKES THEM MEMORABLE 😉

You are dead inside 😅😅😅😅
The safety and security that you've felt comes from the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Don't call it the current regime. 🇮🇷
That's what happens when the west doesn't get what it wants..
When the country is secure and sovereign although they visit it and enjoy it, they talk about it like that. And if it wasn't like that and would've become something like Syria or Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan then they would still bash their regime and feel sorry for what the country had become because of them (but of course not because of the bombs of the foreigners)
Hello, my good friend
