About Me

I’m Matin. A Graphic Designer by degree and a traveler at heart. Born in Tehran and raised in 3 continents and 5 countries, I was privileged enough to travel and make international friends since an early age. It was definitely tough to change schools and leave friends behind, but I managed to survive with a love for travel, languages and a passion for soaking into different cultures.
Between a part time job as a Graphic Designer, and recently co-founding Persian Food Tours, I’ve made it my mission to squeeze in as much traveling as I can. I write about my experiences, give you travel tips and show you the perspective of an Iranian women that has a deep affection for exploring the world.

    Hi Matin.. you have such an unusualy name. Pleased to stumble on your blog today and your photographs made me want to read all your entries. Well I have .. and I have book marked the ones for Spain and Portugal.. if God willing.. I hope to do it this year. You have a good eye. I asked you a question about your camera and lens for such amazing pics. and I hope you will reply.
    Enjoy travelling.. I would like to buy the one way tickets and live out 6 months at a time just travelling.. but that is in my secret dream world. I know that will not happen.. but I have mangaged to wing myself through a few countries, and have a lust list which I will hopefully get a chance to fulfil slowly. So good luck to you and hope you fulfill your dreams of travel… “nothing will work unless you do” Regards from Kuwait..

    • Thank you so much for your nice comment Angela. I know that traveling might not seem so at reach sometimes, but trust me, the more you get into it the easier it looks. I truly hope you find your way to this part of the planet as there is so much to see. Btw, Matin means dignified, or a person with a lot of dignity in Persian and I believe it means the same in Arabic. It also means the early morning in French. 😉

    I recommend your weblog to many of my foreign friends on a daily basis, simply anyone who wants to dig a little dipper than media about our country and I thank you for that. You’re a great writer. Keep it up…

    • Thank you Amir. That’s so nice of you. I’m glad you’re enjoying the blog and I will definitely keep on introducing Iran to the world. 😉

    Religions that require one gender to dress differently from another are inherently oppressive. Your rights as a human are not won by applying more makeup or doing cute things with your mandatory headscarf.
