    Hi, I'm Ben King, 22 years old from London. I left the UK in August 2017 and have spent the past 12 months riding my Honda CRF250L motorcycle 35,000kms overland from my home in London to Pakistan, and I still have a very long way to go as I attempt to ride across every single continent in the world!

    I am an American, a Spanish hybrid. I went to Iran with an American passport two years ago. I went alone. I am 23 years old and a girl. The truth was I was very scared but I wanted to see Iran. Let me say a few things about Iran: Everywhere I went, I told everyone I was American. I expected them to hate me but they loved me. No one took extra money from me. Even in most places, they did not charge me at all. When I asked them why, they said that we Iranians have a hospitable nature. Even with ourselves. Iran is safer than the United States. Nobody bothered me, nobody attacked me, nobody cheated, nobody frowned at me, nobody hated me. Iran is like a miracle for human beings. This is a fact. Thank you Iran Thank you Iranian people I love you.,

    Ben your videos and whole journey are inspiring. Your editing skills are coming on rediculously fast!
    I believe the technique for riding on sand is to stand up to balance the bike better, using your leg muscles to counter the slips, maybe in a gear higher than usual so there's less torque kicking up sand and digging you in. Good luck brother.

      Adrian From London hey mate, sadly with a British passport you can’t ride your bike into Iran alone, you have to go with a guide who will escort you the entire time through the country...I’ve actually been traveling with an Irish passport so luckily just turned up at the border and was able to go into Iran alone!
      It’s definitely worth checking Iran out, even if you have to have a guide! Such an awesome country!!

      Getting a visa for Iran is not the problem, it's being able to cross into Iran and travel independently with a British (or USA) passport. Do you know of any British passport holders that have done that recently? I only know of British people that have dual nationality that have done it.

    • @popamaji
      @popamaji 5 років тому
