@Soorena: Thank you for your kind comment. It made my morning. We have incorporated our experiences in Iran and the kindness we were shown all the time by Iranian people into our speaking presentations. We also hope that people will understand that Iranian people and its ancient civilizations have respect and want peace for everyone. We hope everything we all do helps to promote peace and understanding between our different countries.

@Lida: You’re so welcome. One of the big goals of our trip to Iran was to be able to share our first hand experiences with Iranians and show that there is a different story than what most see on the news. We are glad to be able to help change a few minds with what we do.

[...] Dan and Audrey of Uncornered Market ventured on a trip to Iran as well and were moved to tears, treated like rock stars, and had their lives and perspectives changed by the people they met. Read the stories of conversations with Iranians on a train and a poem to the Iranian people. [...]

@Ali: Thanks so much for taking the time to go through all our Iran posts. We have a few more planned regarding women’s issues, food, itinerary round up and more, so keep checking back!

Iran is a country that we knew was very much misunderstood and misrepresented in mainstream media before our visit. Now that we spent time there and met ordinary Iranians from all walks of life, the news about Iran is often painful to watch. Even more so when we see reports from “experts” that are so far off the mark. We really so hoping for a peaceful resolution of this current crisis.

I’m a little behind, but I’m finally reading through all of your Iran posts. Absolutely fascinating. It’s a country I know little about, except for the negative details seen in the news. This was a really touching post, I’m so glad you shared your experiences here so that we could all get a glimpse at a different Iran.

@Issa: Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I have been trying to follow the news from Iran since we left, but it is difficult to try and find a balanced perspective through all the media coverage. I sincerely hope that this difficult time will pass soon and there will be brighter days ahead.
