    A great video, that reminded me of my 2nd big tour; my 2014 London to Singapore tour. In Gerogia, I met Dave & Holly (Oz / English couple) cyling to Australia, later that day (in Batumi) we're joined by 3 Manchester lads cycling to Australia, a day later (Still in Batumi), Spanish Carlos, & Lithuanian Tom, making 8 of us, the first morning after settig out, we stumble across a Latvian couple also heading our way, now making 10 of us. At the time, Iranian entry was not possible, so most of us we're heading to Azerbaijan or Amminia, then the stans. After a few days we started splitting off, but in Tajikistan I re-joined the Manchester lads, & spent the first month (of two) cycling throgh China with them, Happy times!! ;-)

    You could ask easily for whatever you need from people there and Iranian people are trying their best to be helpful, especially for travelers like you. maybe they couldn't invite a big group of ten to their home but you could count on their help and hospitality.

    Authentic report whose cold colors go with the atmosphere. When I was a teenager, at 'Boum' (Frenchies) evenings we watched apocalyptic horror films where survival depended on whoever found a little oil. It shocked us but we never wanted to experience such a nightmare. Today, I wonder what attracts young adventurers? Is it really these dead landscapes, the pollution, the intense traffic in suffocating air to zigzag between waste and sewers? These few privileged years where we are free as a butterfly pass so quickly. Why don't you explore countries where there are still reserves of biodiversity and cultures in contact with life? At home, after tomorrow, there will perhaps be chaos and a nuclear age. I ride every day and even to go shopping, I prefer to take a three-hour train ride to be able to cross forests on mountains and lakes and come home with the memory of silence and birdsong. This is why I like the freedom that cycling offers me.

    your narrative style, e.g. lobrede got a bit out of hand this time. take it as a minimal critic. the music also kind of off. also the overall edit feels like sitting in a cafe decorated with Ikea furniture.

    There' NOTHING "strange" about the police stopping by. And you didn't know what they wanted??!! They are the POLICE, it's their JOB! There were a bunch of strange people sleeping in an abandoned building, with fire burning!!! Any police and in ANY country in the WORLD would have done the exact same thing! Otherwise they would have not done their JOB! I'm in the US, and I'm almost certain that the police here, would have kicked you all out, at best, or beaten some of you, if anyone said anything they didn't like! Most police in the US are not fans of hippies, or hippy looking people!
