Iran is one of the most friendliest and safest countries i have visited.. enjoy!!

[@ericsuyten5533]

True!

[@Karimm580]

The people are so friendly and good... But the fu***ng government...

[@danielsamsami]

Not for its residents and not everywhere. Believe me.

[@Mighty_amir]

@@danielsamsamiTrue af.

[@Keless]

@@danielsamsami bullshit, you sure are a son of rich diaspora iranians... Iran is safer than France. And people have honor and will defend you without knowing you

[@Behtarin66]

Hello. When you arrive in Iran, Iranians are hospitable and friendly people. Don't worry. You are entering a country where the civilization of mankind has been formed.❤❤ welcom to Persian

Thanks for taking care of that poor puppy, and I wish you much better joy and success on your journey forward!

[@SufiInternational-wz5fi]

I'm an Iranian....and I'm so excited to to watch your stories inside Iran. Subscribed already :)

[@Matin_2001]

Glad to have u here in our contery❤🇮🇷🫡😊

[@HarryFenton6124]

I`m a 64 year old cyclist with a very old dog. I cried when you found Oscar and I`m crying again writing this. What a fascinating episode. Well done all three of you.

[@bendenisereedy7865]

In 1963 Dervla Murphy rode solo through Iran (then Persia) on a heavy steel roadster. She describes the wonderful hospitality of the people in her book Full Tilt. The other country she loved was Afghanistan for its fierce, proud, resourceful and decent people.

[@Tjames579]

Thank you for saving that beautiful puppy ❤ we need more people like you in the world

[@hubik2011]

[@matt281075]

Thanks!

[@giantcheerio]

Thanks to you !!

[@leysin456]

I just saw your posting that you've decided to end your journey and return "home" after several years abroad. What an agonizing but fascinating decision and the courage to say that it's time to connect with the world in a different way. I hope that the reverse culture shock of "home" isn't too much and that you find peace in the world. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey. I am sure it will open doors and windows for you.

[@matinkhosravi3578]

Wow you have ride back to iravan to get pass for puppy❤ You are the humans i want to see everywhere

[@leysin456]

Congratulations on one of the best videos you've produced. This is an incredible story and your persistence in spite of the amazing drawbacks is honest and very relatable. Thank you and I know that you will have a meaningful journey into Iran and beyond. Thank you for sharing.

[@stefanomigliuolo3468]

Probably the most humane & compelling bike touring video ever! Thank you for sharing.

[@barabassebarabasse3117]

Merci!

[@SaugotChowdhury]

Your perseverance and dedication to save a puppy brought tears to my eyes. Be safe🎉 lots of love from india

[@miaLuiLina]

Danke für das erneut so tolle Video. So inspirierend und beeindruckend für mich, wie ihr dem Leben begegnet. Mit allen Facetten. Wünsche euch drein weiterhin eine gute (Lebens-)Reise.

[@miaLuiLina]

And Oskar is absolutely adorable! 🧡

[@antoniocruz8083]

Thank you for showing the real hardships of touring. It's not all roses like some channels show.

[@wout123100]

but thats obvious, that soem dont show the ot so nice things,,up to them

[@23Gears]

Oh wow! I was in tears at the end of this. The third repetition of the text about how to decide was so powerful. You are a true adventurer . Thank you for sharing with us.

[@Miss.pizzawithextracheese]

Welcome finally to my country🫡😂😍

[@thomaskeane3298]

Thanks

[@pepibon28]

Oscar is such a lovely addition 🤩

[@alethearobinson8132]

This was filmed in October. It is now May. So you are still alive😊. Iran has so many ancient sites and history. May you have safe journeys.

[@masnitro9150]

Welcome to Iran. Once pass the border, you gonna love it ❤

[@bambangsuseno8764]

Warm and enthusiastic greetings from The Regency of Sleman, The Special Territory of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Happy cycling in Iran. Take good care of yourselves, Giant Cheerio.

خوش آمدید به ایران Welcome to iran

[@liamshirdel]

This video gonna blow up

[@bingbingbaobei]

I live in Iran as an American woman. Nothing to worry about as long as you don't do anything stupid. Don't photograph military sites. Don't join protests. And don't stay outside in the bad parts of town alone at night time. Iranians are the best hosts, though. Do not go to Balochistan alone, and do not cycle over the Iran-Pakistan border. The Pakistani side is really unstable. A cyclist was killed a few years ago.

[@adagx4948]

How is an American woman living in iran? We are trying as hell to immigrate to us😂

[@bingbingbaobei]

@adagx4948 LOL. You're trying because you believe all the bs from social media. Every Iranian abroad is rich, happy, and sooooo free (as long as they say the right things). I've actually known a lot of Iranians who immigrated, became disillusioned, and returned.

[@mamadjun]

Not an animal lover but I was really touched when you decided to go back to Yerevan so that you could take him with you on your journey. As an Iranian, pls be assured that most if not all Iranians you're likely to come across would prove to be nice and hospitable. Once you've explored the country, you would look back and say to yourselves that you were worried unnecessarily. Watch out for traffic and all three of you w'd be fine. Good luck and can't wait for your next video.

[@karinkoch8443]

Your art of storytelling is just amazing!

[@ryanprasad2090]

Great content! You look miserable and keep pushing on, like a true athlete.

[@davidgense331]

Sooo inspiring! Thank u so much! It always feels kind of awkward for me hearing English from a German and speaking English as a german - you have proven me wrong. And super nice storytelling btw.

[@nalotaller9844]

Adventure of the life time to go to beautiful Iran. Long live Iran.

[@ednanovak]

Wow - what a beautiful, authentic, and inspiring video. I’m in awe of your storytelling & filmmaking and just so inspired by your adventure and how you have navigated some of the many unexpected surprises & setbacks along the way. And on that note, I just love that you decided to embrace Oskar and that you took the time needed to return to Yerevan to get him vaccinated & chipped so that he could continue on the journey with you! I can’t wait to hear what happened next. Congrats on pulling together this epic film and thank you for sharing your journey with the world.

[@giantcheerio]

Thank you so much ! I appreciate your words a lot!

[@artingh]

The story became wonderful with the dog😍

[@iancook8943]

It must be so much work to film things when you're journey already requites such an effort. Thank you for doing this. I can live vicariously through your vlog.

[@giantcheerio]

It is a lot of work indeed. But I started all this because I wanted to show the journey and as there is not only sunshine and flowers, sometimes u gotta go through more challenging situations and also film that :)

[@richardmead8851]

Looking forward to the next episode in Iran! Good luck!

[@SonnyDarvish]

I was born in Rasht, northern Iran actually, but the thought of cycling through that region scares me. Kudos to you! 💪

[@FrancesSanchez-gw7lt]

THANKS for the saving the dog,s life. You are both stars. hello from London

[@BobvanT]

adventure ! Iranians are phenomenal people !

[@chris_noswe]

lol

[@ciaronsmith4995]

Iranians are awesome. Some of the smartest and nicest people I have ever met.

[@tomreingold4024]

How suspenseful this episode is! I very much look forward to seeing the next one. Iran is very intriguing. You might get lucky and not encounter any hostility. I have heard about how accommodating and welcoming the people in Iran are.

[@manwithouthat391]

Was für einen wundervolle und entspannte Geschichte da von Euch erzählt wird. Schon nach fünf Minuten war ich mit in dieser Welt. Danke dafür!

[@mahdimohammadi5231]

I wish I would've seen this video a month ago, I live in Ardebil, I could've accompanied you, we could've had a good time! Anyway I wish you a Great Journey Ahead! and keep this vlogs/channel going! YOU'RE THE BEST!

[@chasingxcolors]

I was looking forward to see the footage of your adventures in Iran. Glad it's here now, and hope you will stay safe during the trips.

[@ramin19nn]

Hi to you 2 and Oscar. I am Iranian-German, and I am sure Iranian people will treat you really well. Viel Spaß und hoffentlich sehe ich noch mehr KZbin Blog von euch.

[@giantcheerio]

They treated us super well :) I enjoyed my time cycling in iran

[@alighanavati7639]

This might be the best thing Ive ever watched on youtube. Thank you

[@hamid.r.salehi]

Es war sehr lieb, dass Ihr den kleinen einsamen Welpen mitgenommen habt 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@WheelstoWander]

Wow, beautiful story! Exciting times on the road... admire your perseverance! Iran is worth the struggle and I'm sure Oscar makes all the setbacks a bit easier... 😊

[@LaurenRoerick]

Wow-- sometimes so many things go wrong to test your resolve, to make you prove to yourself how much you want it, and you've passed the test!

[@FrancesSanchez-gw7lt]

HELLO FROM LONDON! good luck and stay safe. YOU 2 ARE QUITE BRAVE

[@keithspangler4814]

So well done! Love your thoughts and inspiration! Keep moving forward.

[@pouyabahrami7669]

Good Video. I hate how people just say "restrictions." These are NOT Iranian restrictions. You should say "due to OUR OWN restrictions imposed by OUR OWN governments."

[@stiegerf]

Your journey has been incredible to follow. This episode with voice over is from a superb quality really feeling the vibe and difficult choices you face along this path full of uncertainty. Massive kudos for taking us with you cheerio.

[@pooya130]

It fills my heart with pride at being a human when I see people like you. Oscar seems very happy! Don't believe what you read on the news about Israel-Gaza "conflict". The Israeli government desperately wants to distract from its crimes against humans of Gaza.

[@robertsanders8866]

This was ur best vlog to date! Keep going! Cheers

[@aliciageth8033]

Beautiful people! I love love this episode ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

[@robinferguson8911]

Wow. That's so incredibly good of you both to rescue Oskar. ❤

[@freddiefreddie1197]

One of the best videos so far. Let's go Oscar !

[@asabovesoasitswithme]

Im glad you are continuing your journey 🙏😊

[@dmitryru53]

You're amazing! Your videos are wirklich toll! But what is more important for me at this moment are your words. The way you describe the events, decision reasons, and your doubts and uncertainties.

[@Mickthemove_]

You are an inspiration and it always brings a smile when your latest Vlog appears, thank you for sharing and Yep the addition of Oskar is also a testament to your kindness. Safe travels

[@easysewing9]

Amazing 🙏🌷

[@princepage632]

awesome, ya'll are doing it!!, ya'll are crazy for cycling into iran, but hey what a challenge. ya'll be safe out there and keep on rid'in!!

[@branislavnikolic5722]

it happened to me too with the rear gearbox, next time just tie it up and set it to whatever gear you want and change gears with the middle gearbox but it was still a nice adventure

[@brautgangster]

Again , a very very nice clip with deep insights. To me it's the best bike travelling video I've watched so far (and I watch a lot of them) - best by storytelling, camera work and editing. I hope you are fine, whereever you are now - for the sake of your own joy and for sharing your journeys with us in this extraordinary way. Good luck, and ride on!

[@raykleiner3151]

Wow! What an amazing bike adventure full of uncertainty and yet opportunity. Admire your determination and courage to continue no matter what. Keep going!

[@propjoe1060]

What a beautiful and heart warming video. The world needs more people like you two! Best wishes with your homeward journey :)

[@paerts9511]

[@stevemiell4555]

Your most remarkable video, really admire your determination & your compassion in picking up Oscar . And your videography is getting better & better! Courage!

[@SilverEyeFilmsNZ]

This is intense! The decision to continue bikepacking through such regions must be incredibly tough. Your journey is inspiring, and it highlights the challenges of navigating through uncertain times. Good luck on your journey!

[@mohammadzZ33]

Hard work to reach a goal it's fantastic

[@branislavnikolic5722]

it happened to me too with the rear gearbox, next time just tie it up and set it to whatever gear you want and change gears with the middle gearbox to the next town
