  • Welcome back to the next part of my journey as I travel through Iran, filming my experience as a tourist, sharing with you the kindness of Iranian people. This time, I go from Shiraz to Yazd and then up north to the beautiful city of Isfahan. In this episode, we rent a car and drive to the magnificent historical ruins of Persepolis. I sleep in a little ecolodge homestay called Nartitee in the mudbrick village of Taft. The next day, I explore Yazd, a former centre for Zoroastrianism, and meet a sweet local girl and her mother. The adventure continues as our road trip takes us up to Isfahan - a sophisticated cultured city with inspiring architecture and history. We stay in the home of a kind local couple and I speak with their son, Amir, who is a professor at a university in Isfahan.
    I continue to see examples of the kindness of strangers, Persian hospitality and signs that this population truly wants peace and friendship with the rest of the world. I hope that in sharing this journey with you, I can give you some insight into their hearts and connect this troubled but beautiful country with humanity.

    Thank you so much for all the love from Iranians and also people who are open to discovering the beauty of Iran. This episode now has Persian SUBTITLES! On mobile, in the top right corner of the video screen you will see three dots. Click and select CAPTIONS to choose subtitle language ‘Persian’. On desktop, click the settings ⚙️ icon in the lower right corner and select SUBTITLES/CC. I am no longer in Iran but I am currently editing the next episode in which you will see my travels north to Kashan, Tehran, Kandovan and Tabriz!! Please also note, a few people have misunderstood the part where I talk about skin colour. I included this because some Iranians commented on my last episode saying “the only reason she was shown kindness is because she is white and blonde”. I disagree with this and my whole point is that although I’m aware I am very privileged to have certain liberties, I have seen kindness shown to all kinds of people in Iran. This is the very reason I interviewed the British family in the last episode - to show you travellers with children who might have had a different experience to mine. Please remember, this is not a documentary made by the tourism board. It is supposed to be natural and real, showing the people who come across my path. If I had more time, or if I had a crew helping me, or if I had a film permit to interview people about more issues, I could have made a more in-depth study of this country. But also remember, I was not granted a film permit so I was only legally allowed to film my holiday and the things that happened to me as a tourist on a tourist visa. Thank you for your time and your understanding. 💗💗💗💗 Hope you will come back to watch next episode. 🙏🙏

      Kylie Flavell : go with the flow! 😎...Iranians will take you. Aside the main cool landmark areas in Tehran, highly recommend the Art scene and Museums. The Friday antiques Bazaar, Villages nearby to the north of the city and the North Caspian area that is a lusher beauty. www.irantravelingcenter.com/northern-iran-paradise-wonderful-nature/

    I am a 51 year old American of Mexican descent, born in West Texas. Upon seeing this beautiful documentary of Iran, I couldn't help but literally cry throughout the entire video for it's universal message of peace. I saw the beauty of the Iranian people in this video. While the world may not be perfect, and held together by a fragile fear, nevertheless, there remains dear and precious souls who shine light into this dark world, regardless of religion, creed, or culture. I was so moved by that powerful song "I inhale the scent of the river. And this brings the memory of the kind friend I have". Thank you Kylie for your cherished words: "Can you blame me for dreaming of kindness and friendship?" I too, long for peace in the world. The wounds of my narrative are healed gradually when I see other parts of the world who reach out with kindness and compassion as the people in this video did to Kylie. Thank for this amazing story, Kylie!

    The scene with the 14 year old girl was so authentic and heartfelt, had me in tears... And your quote about separating the people of a land and the laws of that same land was so wise... we can and should love each other with more power than the weapons we constantly point at each other... The other startling thing your video made me ponder is the fact that you felt it necessary to include a disclaimer about the injustices you DIDN’t witness... yet, if you went to NYC, you wouldn’t feel compelled to justify your enjoyment, even though the US perpetrates myriads injustices (the gun violence your mentioned, but you could’ve listed our immigration policies, our homeless and drug addiction issues, our racism, the disparity between rich and poor, the obesity epidemic, rampant sexism and sexual harassment, not to mention the endless wars we sponsor and on and on...) . Strange how deep certain prejudices run, people question westerners who enjoy certain foreign countries. I feel this from friends and family because I chose to live and work in China. They are constantly asking me “why” “aren’t you scared?”and “doesn’t the lack of freedom bother you?” ... Yet if I moved to England ( a statistically more dangerous place to live with a similar amount of state sponsored surveillance ) no one would question it... This is why videos such as this are vital in expanding the global discussion and the necessary work of building of deep, cross-cultural empathy... Bravo Kylie! A fantastic piece of journalism...

      Michael, it feels good to see wise guys like you are still out there. Interaction, dialogue, respect and tolerance are what we need to change the nonsense world politicians made for us. Kylie made it look so easy to change the world, thanks to her sweetness, but in reality it takes a lot. Iranian poet and painter Sohrab Sepehri (1928-1980 from Kashan) says;
      I don’t know
      Why some say that the horse is a noble animal, the pigeon is beautiful
      And why no vulture dwells in any person’s cage
      I wonder why the clover is inferior to Red Tulip
      One must wash eyes, look differently to things, words must be washed
      The word must be wind itself, the word must be rain itself

    Thank you Kylie! Your videos are beautiful, inspiring, emotional. When I was going to Iran last year my family and colleagues thought I went crazy, they said the last goodbyes to me as they thought I'd get kidnapped or killed in Iran as no one actually knew much about the country. Frankly speaking I was nervous myself but the experience that I got there is life worthy. Beautiful, friendly, hospitable people, stunning nature, food is super yummy. I really wanna come back to Iran some day. Ever since my trip I tell the people around me the truth about Iran, and showing them pictures. We should talk and show that Iran is worth visiting, that it is absolutely safe. Culture, history, beauty of the whole nation should not suffer/get lost or destroyed because of the political arguments and misinformation from the media side. Thanks again for sharing your travel experience! Made me feel nostalgic 😊

My experience has shown me that there are wonderful people everywhere and there are evil people everywhere. When you are a tourist, you avoid areas where it is dangerous and concentrate on the history and culture as well as the good people you encounter. Kylie, your films captivate the generosity and kindness of the good people while educating us with the history and culture of the places you travel to. Thank you.

    This summer I had the opportunity to visit Iran for 2 weeks. I can totally relate with your videos. I was amazed by the People, Culture, Architecture and Landscape. The most hospitable country I have ever visited. I never felt unsafe or in danger during the trip! I visited the most beautiful places I've ever been, where it's almost bizarre to not see any foreign tourists.

As a Mexican I'm very interested on iran, as my country Mexico and iran share rich long history of proud people. Afters seeing your second video I was hoping you would do a third one and you have. I hope to see and hear more about iran and hour journey. God bless you for doing something that journalists and politicians can't do, and that is going to iran and seeing the true rich cultural nation.

I know if both countries establish stable diplomatic relations both can benefit greatly from one another. But I don't think economic sanctions is going to bring Iran and it's people down to its knees. This is an ancient nation, and a former world super power with rich and complex culture. I know that the Iranian people have live through worst times and circumstances then what they are facing now. They are a tight knitted nation and people. Tis why the US is hesitant to wage war with Iran, it's a veterian of warfare, empire, cultural titan.

    These two men singing made me cry. So beautiful. It looks so much like Bukhara, Samarkand.. I went there (solo female traveler too) a couple of years ago and when I returned, I researched a bit more and got curious about Iran but figured it wasn't a good idea these days. I was as wrong as the people that told me not to go to Uzbekistan... what I found there were just kind, generous, loving people.. I still remember a man that made sure I saw one of their oldest mosques.. it was a Friday and I was so not supposed to be there but he really wanted to show me the beauty of it and argued with the guards outside lol... he gave me a little tour and then I understood why he went through all the trouble, it's been one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in!.

    since in their creation they are of one essence.
    When the conditions of the time brings a member to pain,
    the other members will suffer from discomfort.
    You, who are indifferent to the misery of others,
    it is not fitting that they should call you a human being."
    you know i belive that if one is in pain doesn't matter in which part of the world,the other can not avoid feeling that pain too.
    love you

      Behnaz Goshayeshi Wow, this poem gives me goosebumps and fills my whole heart. I really do want to connect with people who feel the pain and joy of others, even if they are strangers - this has always been my way of living as an empath with what some have said is too much sensitivity to the world. It is a great privilege to make work connects me to people like you. 💞🌸🙏
