Advice for female solo biker in Iran and other places!
Hi
Just joined!
I am setting of on a solo world trip on my 39th birthday, 27th March 2014. I have a couple of routes I am considering but the one I would like to do is to go through Eastern Europe, Turkey, Iran, boat to Dubai and then Dhow to India, Bhutan, Burma and then on to Vietnam and Thailand etc.
The other option of course is Mongolia and Russia to miss out China (budget will not allow China which is a shame).
The official government advice is not to travel in Iran and several people have told me it is dangerous especially as a woman travelling on my own.
Can anyone tell me if I have to have a police escort in Iran?
Would love your opinions as there seems to be a lot of scare mongering going on! Should I take notice?
By the way my blog and facebook sites are below if anyone is interested in following my journey (and the planning)
