You are one of my heros!

I have heard of people travelling on their Vespas around European regions but I always thought the road conditions in Iran would not allow such adventures. Apparently I was wrong. Now only if I was 20 years younger and only if I could have time off and only if I wasn't a woman....

And what fantastic pictures. Thanks much for sharing some of your trip

Very interesting trip! You should have asked Vespa for sponsorship. It may still not be too late. 10,700 km on a 150 cc engine is fantastic!

Exotic pictures of my country

by Hi there ! (not verified) on

Thanks for the pictures!

Some of these pictures are showing extremely exotic people and places of Iran. As an Iranian, I feel it’s important to see the astonishing variations of our country. There are all types of climates and people in Iran.

I am from Northern Iran and we are totally unfamiliar with the people, climates and places you’ve shown here. Great job!

I love these pictures...

I love these pictures, and I’m thinking of "booye aidi, booye khaak, booye khaghaz rangi...ba ina...ba ina khastegi ro dar mikhonam".
Now, comments about couple of them:

#11, and 12 - they could be undercover guys in this side
#16 - I wish I could hold her up at least for few minutes
#18 - very sexy guys ;)
#20 and 21 - beautiful and classic
#23 - I wish I could do something for them
#35 - I hope the guy in the right picture is still burning in the hell ( if there is a hell! )

But please note that not every cross is a Christian Cross. The #36 is NOT a Christian martyr. He is /was a Seyyed!
