IRAN: A Side Of The Country The Media Won't Show You - Arrival in Tehran

In this first introduction episode, I arrive in Tehran and see some of the sights there, showing the stereotyped view of the former US embassy (now the “Den of Espionage Museum”), the Azadi Tower, and the history of the Golestan Palace, before moving to the more modern Tehran with the Milad Tower and Tabiat (Nature) Bridge.
This is just the start, there’ll be a lot more coming from one of the most fascinating countries I’ve experienced.

PATHS LESS TRAVELED
In the late summer of 2022 I embarked on an epic road trip around Iran, during a time of unrest as protests escalated across the country.
Covering around 6200km over 24 days, I was able to see this incredible country in a way that many are not fortunate enough to see, and to record my experiences in a way that has not been done before.
Safety concerns meant that I had to limit my filming on occasion, and stay well away from any signs of the troubles going on.
However, what I did see was an incredible insight. Some of the most wonderful and welcoming people, incredible history and culture, and mind blowing food.
Paths Less Traveled - Iran is my story of my experiences, put in an in-depth series of Iran travel vlogs.

I have been in Iran for the past 2 months. Visited the entire this amazing country and people. Honestly, I have never seen a protest since I don't go out at night. However, twice I heard a shooting at night. I would love to stay and witness what will happen, but I must leave by next week. It is becoming more exciting. Wishing a better future for the youths of Iran. They deserve it!

[@ChrisKermis]

Wow 2 months is a long stay, surely that long can't be just tourism? As you say it's an amazing country with great people, and that's what I want to show in my videos. I also pretty much stayed in after dark to avoid any possible trouble, I'm a tourist, not a journalist!

@@mokshanranasinghe5360 it is very safe! People live a normal life in all the places except some Kurdish cities and perhaps in some Baluch cities. All I can say is I have been traveling and have not witnessed anything during the day. I am avoiding Kurdistan since there are cities with Marshall laws. However I am going to Kermanshah tomorrow. Touristy places are all safe as of now. Bottom line if you are not political and avoid protests you have nothing to worry about. I feel much more unsafe in many places in the US than here. No guns!

Dear Chris, I hope you enjoy visiting Iran. In fact, if you had traveled two months earlier to Iran, you wouldn't have faced any protests and unrest here. I live in Urmia and here is one the most beautiful cities located in the northwestern part of Iran and is famous for lake Urmia which is, unfortunately, going to be dried. But we have incredible nature with so many ancient structures back to the B.C period of time, such as saint Mariam church and Jame's mosque. I will be thrilled to come here and visit everywhere.

Hello, I myself work in tourism and was doing tours during the weeks you were here. I got very happy to hear that you enjoyed yourself in my country in spite of some unpleasantness that happened to you. We Iranians/Persians love tourists and we just love to communicate with our guests during their visit. Certainly you have seen us and have talked to the people. Unfortunately, the world doesn't know almost anything about us. Hopefully you and many other tourists visiting Iran little by little can get the word out about the truth of Iran. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.

[@saborivaille1258]

Once Iran is free you will have so many tourists wanting to visit. Also so many Iranians exiled will finally get to visit home. I’m half Persian and I’ve been to many places around the world. But I can’t even visit the country of my roots because of my Baha’i background. I have no relatives left in Iran. They were either killed or left

The sad thing is that innocents also end up getting killed and that is why war and hate is so bad for us all. There are bettrt ways to solve disputes sadly all the hate and terror over the years have only strengthened the right wingers in Israel. The Iranian people have spoken loud and clear they support the sanctions even though it also hurts them, they are willing if it helps topple the regime. I have heard this time and time again. They are brave. They are proud, they are sick and tired of living under this terrible evil regime which kills girls for nothing but protesting for freedom such as Sarena Esmailzade and Nika Shakarimi. Iranians have explained to me they often r-pe these girls too because they are not allowed to kill virgins. The Mullas are finished and Iranians are getting their freedom.

What do you mean by saying be careful?? We have to be more be careful if looking back at history

Shahyaad Tower, (which is called by the regime Azadi Tower! which means freedom!!!!!!! The tower) is designed and made by Architect Mr.Hossein Amanat in 1971-72 when he was only 24 years old. He was prized by the Queen of Persia Shabanou Farah Pahlavi, He lives in Vancouver now.

[@farialmab4723]

@@lenny9672 The Pahlavi King was NOT a hero of the people and made the lives of the Vast Majority of Iranian People Very difficult: Poverty, illiteracy, and fear. That’s WHY they Revolted. Khomeini did fix many of those problems, but also Kept the people from being Free. After him, the current leaders have done NOTHING for the people. Hopefully Iran will be Truly FREE soon. 💕🫖

[@saborivaille1258]

The architect is Baha’i too. So he wouldn’t be allowed back in Iran without some sort of persecution. I’m surprised the regime didn’t destroy the tower

When you said: let's get rid of that, it's not iran. This is just what we want the people around the world to know. Thanks a lot.

[@farialmab4723]

Exactly right! 💕

Yeah.....except for forcing women to be second class citizens. Forcing them to cover up, raping them, no fair trials. Sure. We all believe you....

Hi, Have you seen any protests on your own? If yes how big it was? As I know, Tehran should be now without protest, but I am not sure.

[@ChrisKermis]

No, I avoided the protests at all cost. I'm not a journalist and to get caught up in that would be extremely unsafe for me. I heard that other Westerners were arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. For the course of the trip I kept as informed as possible about what was going on, and moved away fast from signs of trouble.

[@VFL80]

@@ChrisKermis True, agree with you. But I meant how have you found the situation there? Is it messy? over 9 years far from my country, wonder is it as bad as I read in Media now there 🙁

[@ChrisKermis]

@@VFL80 A lot of police on the street and places to avoid, certainly at certain times of the day. Very hard for me to say what the situation is like more than that though, as I stayed away. Often checkpoints and questions from police in my travels.

Hi Chris thanks for amazing video i have a question if you can help me I would appreciate it . I am from Afghanistan and my family live in Iran I go every year to visit them in Tehran . My wife is English and I have got a 2 year old son I would love to take them to visit my family in Iran but I am worried if my wife be in danger be coz she’s English can you plz advise me with this plz 🙏

[@ChrisKermis]

It's impossible for me to say regarding danger. It seemed to me that the biggest danger was being in the wrong place at the wrong time, my biggest worry being near a protest that was going on and getting accused of inciting it. If your wife only has a UK passport then she would need to have a guide from an approved company at all times and submit where she will be every day in order to get the visa.

[@usernotfound8061]

Hi I am from Iran and I dont think it should be anything dangerous for ur wife as a britisher

[@bacheshemron]

Iran is certainly a beautiful country. I knew it would be which is why it was such a big dream of mine to travel there.
