Embarking on an extraordinary journey from a small city in northern Iran, surrounded by the majestic Alborz mountains, the towering presence of Damavand, enchanting Tabarestan forests, and the serene embrace of the Caspian Sea, my childhood was a symphony of nature’s wonders. Introduced to the thrill of hiking by my grandparents at the tender age of 9, I soon ventured into solo expeditions, oblivious to the profound impact they would have on my future.
