An adventure in Iran’s capital

 “Tea, Transit, and Tehran: A Cultural Adventure in Iran’s Capital”

I just watched a delightful video of an American gentleman exploring the capital of Iran, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

He wandered through several neighborhoods in Tehran, getting a genuine feel for the city’s rhythm. In countries like Iran, travelers from some nations are required to have a local guide—but even with that limitation, his journey felt authentic and immersive. He rode the metro and took the bus, crossed busy intersections as a pedestrian, and interacted warmly with locals along the way. One of the highlights was his visit to a traditional teahouse and restaurant, where a local helped him navigate the customs of Iranian dining.

Watching him try to cross the street immediately reminded me of my own travel experiences in places like Vietnam and India—where crossing the road can feel like an adventure in itself!

These kinds of videos are a big part of why I love international travel. They offer a window into daily life around the world and remind me of the beauty and richness of other cultures. I’m always especially happy when videos like this pop up in my YouTube feed.
