It has pretty much everything a traveller could wish for: interesting cuisine, more diverse landscapes than you might expect, a fascinating history, world-class safaris, unique wildlife, and a big dose of raw adventure.

Canoe Camping Adventure in Skåne, Sweden – Paddle the Rönne River
Usually we stick to two-wheeled adventures at Farawayistan. But this time, we switched from pedaling our gravel bikes to paddling a canoe. While Sweden may need an introduction as a cycling destination, you can easily picture yourself rowing across pristine lakes surrounded by spruce trees. Instead, we opted for a meandering river through Southern Sweden.

Road Trip Iran Part III – Kaluts in Cold Kerman
We drive deeper into Iran and cross more deserts and Martian like landscapes. A typical travelers breakfast in hostels and guesthouses in Iran consist of flat white bread (in many different forms!), cucmber and tomatoe, white cheese and some carrot jam. When you’re lucky, sometimes a boiled egg. Not quite a solid base for a +7…

Road Trip Iran Part I – Amsterdam to Tehran
In December 2018 we traveled to Iran. This is how we got there. It is almost hard to believe that we actually have just woken up in Amsterdam. Due to bad weather and extreme thick fog, half of the flights to Schiphol were cancelled. And that’s exactly where we are flying from today, to Teheran…
