I was slowly saying good bye to Iran. Those were wonderful 2 weeks, but I felt that I was missing something. I wanted to see more, I wanted to go further, stay longer. I realised that 14 days in Iran weren’t enough. I spent my last day visiting the Polish cemetery in Teheran and doing […]
I haven’t lived in Poland for a very long time. I don’t go to any protests and demonstrations. I don’t shout that I’m Polish and I’m so proud of it. I don’t even know when there is a national holiday in Poland. I’m not very patriotic, but whenever I have a chance, I visit places […]
You might know of Shiraz and recognise the name. The region is famous for its wine, which hasn’t been produced here for a long time. The wineries disappeared along with the freedom of speech. However, the city is still regarded as the most liberal in the country. You can still buy some alcohol if you […]
When I was planning my two weeks trip to Iran, I read that Yazd is a rather boring city. Apparently nothing goes on there and there’s nothing to see. I must say, that I think I have to stop reading travel guides and making assumptions based on what I read because this opinion, as well […]

I’m not sure why I decided to use Couchsurfing in Iran. Probably because all the bloggers who went to Iran really recommended me that option. And because it’s a completely different country from where I’ve been to so far, I thought ‘why not’ and decided to try it out. I had used Couchsurfing a couple […]
When I was planning my trip to Esfahan I knew it would take at least 3 days to see everything there. Considering my short stay in Iran I decided to give Esfahan this exact amount of time. I didn’t expect to regret my decision so soon, though. Esfahan is a city in central Iran known […]
I bought a ticket to Esfahan in my hostel in Teheran. I ate breakfast, packed my bags and was ready for my taxi, which was supposed to take me to the station. It was also ordered by the receptionist of my hostel. A very cheerful driver talked to me in Farsi the whole way. Every […]
What a wonderful morning! I went for breakfast and had an amazing chat with 2 young Iranian ladies, who work in my hostel. “He didn’t want to be with me. He only wanted to be ‘friends with benefits’” – I almost spit my tea. That means they do IT before the wedding?? It turns out […]
