Just got back from Iran!

After spending New Year’s in the Islamic Republic of Iran, I am getting back on top of my life.  Blogging will continue shortly.

In short, I had an amazing time and I recommend it to everyone.  My travel agent, Ace Vacations, did a fantastic job securing the visas, as well as planning and executing the travel agenda.  

A more detailed description of my trip will come soon.

On an unrelated note, I also just visited Turkmenistan. My country count is now at 44.

  • It there is an open border crossing into the Kurdish area, you can try that. I’ve heard that it is relatively safe.

    Dear Mr. kheirkhahan,

    Sorry we were not able to meet up. I had a very full itinerary and was rarely in one place ver long, and rarely took the time to check email.
    I will be coming through again soon, and will be happy to work out something in advance.

    Best,

    Curtis

    Andy,

    Traveling in Iran was totally safe and a great experience. The people are exceptionally friendly and generous. I recommend it to everyone. I will be posting my experiences soon.
