A Persian girl who traded her comfort zone for a passport full of stamps — sharing honest travel stories, destination guides, and the kind of tips you only learn the hard way.
Born and raised in Tehran, I never imagined that one solo trip to Istanbul would completely rewrite the story of my life. That was four years ago. Since then, I’ve explored 35+ countries — from the narrow alleys of Kyoto to the cliffside villages of Portugal — always with a notebook and an open heart.
This blog is my diary. The unfiltered truth of travel: the moments of awe, the planning mistakes, the unexpected friendships, and all the ways the world keeps surprising me. I’m here to show you that the world is far more welcoming than the headlines make it seem.
