Brush with the Law in Iran. On Her Bike Around the World. EP 12
This is the third video from Iran in which I get into a little trouble with the Police for wild camping. Iran is a very crowded country and it's very hard to hide away without someone seeing you. The Police were informed, arrived and then “arrested” me out of concern for my safety. Lesson learned! From that point onward, I set up my tent only in the parks designated for camping.

In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously: gogetfunding.c...

I am from Indonesia, though not Muslim, but I am proud of the Iranian people especially for police officers they are friendly and helpful
You've changed my perception of Iran. Thank you.

I have two brothers from my fraternity (TKE) who are from Iran, Morteza (Morty) and Hamid. They are truly great brothers and I am so glad to have their love and kindness. They have a large loving family. Something I missed out on. Not so much the family. Just the love part. But I have them and in a pinch, they will always be there for me.

amazing how hospitable and genuine the people and police are, love to visit some time
K..... one word: AMAZING Thank you for sharing your journey...... and for the people of Iran, what a way to show hospitality and kindness. .... Buen Camino.
Another great video and more insight into Iran and the hospitality of its people. Those cops certainly had your best interests at heart even though it may not have felt like it at the time. Looking forward to the next video, hope your physio went well and that your leg is on the mend!
Iranians are such nice people. good video. the mayor was very kind and gracious.

@Captain Caveman its not safe to sleep in ruins, every single normal human knows that this kind of act is dangerous in iran! There is bad people every where. Where do you think people that do drugs and thief, stay or sleep in nights? in the street? no ofc they go to ruins because they know no one comes there, and think bad people come to their place and see a beautiful foreign women sleeping in there. you could guess what was possible to happen after that.
Go and ask someone in Australia if you can tent in their garden in the middle of the night - see if they put you up for the night and have a family breakfast with you in the morning.

You are absolutely correct....there are good people all around the world...but hatrade and disputes are created by politics...
I think we should live in a world where both women and men should feel totally safe and equal. If a man can pitch a tent anywhere, so should a woman. We are not there yet unfortunately. The locals who called cops on you, were good people and did so out of concern for your safety. Knowing Iranians, had you ended up staying the night in that place, those guys would have stayed the night in the vicinity to watch over you. I'm sure it was a relief for them when the police showed up. Remember, the locals always know more about their environment than visitors do :).

Well........the cops DID make the point that there are wild dogs in the area and perhaps they were potentially dangerous? In Canada, a bear will sometimes come into a camp site to steal food and such an encounter can be dangerous - so maybe the cops were trying to protect her? Though I did laugh when she asked if she could camp at the police station!

8:05 That is so adorable.
Iran has been consistently picked as the friendliest place of all countries. For example, see the videos of a couple traveling the world on their bicycles. They've been all across Europe, Middle East, and the Russian Republics. They swear the Iranians are the friendliest. It is not surprising given that from ancient times, their climate and region was harsh and they developed hospitality as a survival mechanism. Imagine finding an Iranian lost in an American city. He'd be arrested on sight. Nice of the mayor's family to make you feel welcome and letting you interact with their children. That's the highest compliment one can receive. Of course food, water, shelter, and other conveniences are just incidental to their hospitality. EDIT: The link to the video referenced above is here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWeE0KewoNmtdLw.htmlm46s . There are many other examples like this. The very first time I ever heard was from a wrestling team that came back from a tournament in Iran.

What the OP said is simply that many people in Iran are very friendly, he never mentioned about how Iranians are treated in the U.S or how they're portrayed in the news. No one here ever criticized or blamed Americans for treating Iranians like shit or the U.S as a country. Triggered and Delusional much?

Camp is widely used among Iranians and most of them don't associate it with Camping, I don't blame the guy for surprisingly asking him what camp :))
Such wonderful hospitality. Bless the good people of Iran.
I have never been to Iran but my nephew did a world tour and said that Iran was the friendliest place he visited. Now on my list :). Nice video. Ride safely.
Amazing the way everybody treats you. The way you aproach to the people I think is the key, so sweet. Keep on. Enjoy
let me tell you something. (As an Iranian!) In the part of camping by the ruins, there is a very good chance that the guy who made you leave the area and even called the police, has been the true good guy, as opposed to one that gave you (sold you?) the grapes. I'm not sure what that grape man was up to, but I know a well-intentionedd local would make you leave that area with suspicious intruders.
amazing locals see in different Iran travel blogs !!

Iran at the local level is so much different than the mental image I had. Nice video.
Great episode as usual! Every single traveler have said that Iran is the most hospitable country in the world. Everybody invites you to stay at their place, have dinner and take a shower...and that's exactly the opposite of what the media makes you believe. Stay safe and good luck with the Africa adventure planning :)
The police had your best interest at heart for sure. You think the wild dogs won't come to your tent but I desert camp home (Iran) when I go and more than once the dogs have entered my tent. Once bumped heads with me to wake me up lol. Apart from that it can also be dangerous to camp alone, man or woman. As nice as Iranian are 98% of the time, there are those that will rob you blind without a second thought so best they didn't let you camp somewhere so quiet. All in all, I hope you enjoyed Iran. My family and I enjoyed your Iran videos.. it made us miss home.
This is an amazing woman. Her courage is extraordinary
Breaking down barriers. Such a humanizing piece. Thank you.
Thanks again Kinga, that was a real incite into Iranian culture. The "locals" seem very friendly and concerned for you welfare, that's good. In spite of all the negative press coming from Iran. Always best to be safe than sorry eh ?

It is not safe for a woman to camp in the middle of ruins cause it is Iran?! Are you telling me it is safe anywhere else in the world to camp in the middle of nowhere inside the ruins? Not sure about Australia, but I am pretty sure US is not safe for something like that either.

You were not arrested actually! They took u to police Station for your safety and it is dangers to camp at night for everybody because of some wild animals so u should be appreciate that police officer as he take responsibility and wants u to be safe and sound with no problem my friend
7:34 Its sheep's kidney, Never eaten raw, grilled almost always with sheep's heart and liver, our version of hagas.
So you asked at that time at night if someone around could offer you a garden to camp and then the Major read it and invited you. Amazing! I'm planning to do a trip on my own and I'm interested about where to find all the info I need (especially if I'm in trouble) so, would you mind sharing with us where did you ask for it? Cause I don't see any mention to that on your social media accounts and I don't see how to get so much attention on a very late and short time and it could be very helpful. Than you so much in advance and have a safe ride!
