British and blonde, unique in Iran.
Whilst I have pretty much been the only blonde travelling around here, it hadn't dawned on me that there were no British or USA citizens travelling, until I had a conversation with a fellow traveller. Brits and USA passport holders are subject to stricter visa entries due to the sanctions and interest in the nuclear facilities. They haven't got useable consulates so have to go to Dublin to get visas which cost nearly $300 plus the added expense of flights and accommodation. And if granted can only travel here in organised tour groups with a guide at all times. So because I'm on an Aussie passport I can travel independently, which was brilliant. Anyone planning to come here, you don't need a guide, it's easy to get around by hitching, buses or taxis and accommodation is easy to find!!
