My introduction to hive and traveling in Iran
Hello everyone! ๐Ÿค™

I was introduced to hive a while ago by @iliyan90 and I decided to finally make a post here on Ecency. 



โ€ข This post will feature an introduction to my travels and a part of my journey in Iran โ€ข

_____
I'm a backpacker from Germany, traveling in the most basic ways, without a lot of money, trying to get as close as possible to the cultures I visit.
That means that I don't use hotels, taxis and avoid paid services for the most part, the idea behind it - trying to meet people on the same level and not paying someone to provide something for me. 

This leads to the most unusual and adventurous experiences, which is exactly what I'm after.
_____


++ *A quick overview* ++

My travels started over one year ago, in May 2021 on my 20th birthday in my hometown in southern Germany. I went straight to Vienna, Austria, continued to Hungary and from Romania to the Black Sea. Along the coast, my route brought me to Bulgaria and further to Turkey. Continuing along the Black Sea's coast for three months in Turkey, I arrived in Georgia at the end of 2021. A freezing Georgian winter brought its challenges with it but I continued to Armenia after two cold months, where I then got to feel spring arrive in April. That was the end of post-Soviet countries and the beginning of the middle east. Iran. 

I have many many stories to tell about this year but I chose to post about recent and current events for the moment, if there is interest, let me know :)
_____


**Iran/Persia**

The Islamic Republic of Iran is *(duh)* an Islamic (mostly Shia and secondly Sunnit) country in the middle east and it's... pretty big with a lot of desert, right? Well, let's see.


*But from the beginning.* 

The visa process for germans can be tiring and complicated but with some research and patience, you'll get there bla bla bla... That's not really interesting is it?
So, at the end of April, with all the documents ready, so I thought, I made my way to the only land border between Armenia and Iran  and after some complications with Covid-tests and health insurance I made it to the other side.

Immediately, I was greeted by the beautiful, merciless vastness of Iran.

And actually, nature can be very diverse here! Although it doesn't look like it yet.

![img_0.8099175193081543.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmf34H32dCHMnwUGfXvaqGYupyfQa5yZ5fWxms331FVSvD/img_0.8099175193081543.jpg)

Everything was new and different, the nature, the language and script, the cultures, religion and rules.

I hitchhiked directly to the historic and legendary city of Tabriz and enjoyed the culture shock to the fullest.

The unmistakable Persian architecture

The famous "Blue Mosque" โ†“

And of course, the Bazar. โ†“

And within, the famous carpet halls. Tabriz is actually the "world carpet capital". โ†“

So, after arriving in the city, I was lucky enough to meet a bunch of university students and they offered me to stay in their dorm - which was, of course, not allowed. But we made it work and it was a very epic welcome for me, directly getting in touch with the people and the reality here. After getting kicked out by the guard, my newly found friends didn't leave me hanging, also part of the Iranian hospitality and concept of guests, and I didn't have to worry about a place to sleep in this city anymore. 

I met two cyclists  from Mashhad, the second biggest city in Iran, and we took a trip to the nearby ancient cave village, Kandovan.

![img_0.7516439252501701.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZwW1Ccn1ZPueSr28YbJmZWdWu53ToJGhXfUMYKPT2DHz/img_0.7516439252501701.jpg)

This village has been intact for centuries (1000 years are claimed) and the houses are quite literally built into the stone.

After some days in and around Tabriz, I continued with the two cyclists from Mashhad towards Qazvin, I might do a post about that in the future. 

If anyone is interested in seeing that or has any recommendations or requests for more or different sorts of pictures or stories, let me know :)

To wrap it up, here is a typical middle eastern night - vibe from Tabriz ๐Ÿฎ

Hello Erika! Thanks for the comment, I can already see that I chose my username poorly since my actual name is Alban xD but what does it matter actually? It's just a word to be recognized by, but Alban has a more personal resonance with me xD

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

Duude! I can just say thank you man!!! 

It was a long shot but I finally posted something... Thanks to you! Hope you are well, I'm doing absolutely great here in Iran and I have TONS of stories to share from many places, so you will definitely hear from me :) 

Bulgaria will not be on my route so soon, since my goal is to travel east. Always east.

All the best my guy!

The terrain in Iran often reminds me of parts of Montana and Wyoming where I have traveled within the USA. Aside from the mosques and Persian architecture, of course.

I'll delegate a little Hive Power while you get started here! Be sure to engage with other bloggers, and check out the communities available for travel and photography posts.

Yoo true! I can see the resemblance. The culture is the difference. 
Thank you so much for the HP actually, because I'm struggling at the moment to engage with other posts or make some of my own because of that.... Which is a shame because there is good content and cool contests to contribute to.

Actually one question about the upvote system. I'm still figuring everything out and doing my research, but what's the smartest way to handle the percentage on an upvote I give? Does it just affect the HP cost and support accordingly? If enough HP is available, doesn't it make sense to upvote a 100% or is there another reason to consider here? 
Thanks for the help, cheers!

There is a lot of code behind the scenes. Your total Hive Power determines the base value of your upvote, the market value of HIVE determines the dollars and cents value, your resource credits determine how much you can do, and your vote power determines what percentage of your base value is awarded when you vote. 

Resource credits and vote power recharge over time. Hive Power can be earned over time as people vote for your content, or HIVE tokens can be bought and staked. The market price is essentially outside our control.

In general, you recover about 20% of your vote power every day, and that is equal to only about 10 votes at 100% value. When I go on an upvote spree like today, I adjust my default vote power to 50% or 75%. I haven't checked your wallet, and I don't know whether you have enough staked to access that feature yet.

Resource credits are a hidden stat for all actions on the blockchain. The pool is related to your overall Hive Power, and largely exists to prevent new accounts from spamming posts and comments. Once you're established a bit, it will cease to be something you ever worry about.

Did that help at all? It's a lot to take in, so don't worry too much if it's not making sense yet.

**EDIT:** you can see the behind-the-scenes data for your account [here.](https://hiveblocks.com/@ander.alban) Just remember, if anyone ever embeds a hyperlink to anything anywhere, and it asks for your HIVE passwords, assume it's a phishing scam until you can confirm otherwise. There are a lot of bad actors who will try to steal your account if you are unwary. This one's a legit site for blockchain analysis, and won't ask for your info at all.

Hey @ander.alban! This is @indayclara from the @ocd team. **Congratulations and welcome to Hive**!

It's amazing you have been to a lot of countries in just a span of one year and I bet it was an adventure of a lifetime! We love to hear more about it here on Hive! Since you are already aware about the [Pinmapple]() Community, might as well do it right. We usually write or tell our stories one place at a time (but not necessary) and get the pin for the location in [pinmapple.com](https://pinmapple.com/). Here is a [detailed guide](https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@louis88/how-to-use-pinmapplecom-search-publish-and-pin-travel-posts) on how to do that. You might also want to check out their [travel digests](https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@pinmapple/travel-digest-1590) to see how travelers do their blogs and get you inspired!

Here are some things to remember here on Hive:
1. Make sure to share your future blogs in the appropriate [Communities](https://peakd.com/communities)
2. If you are looking for tips and information as a Hive newbie, click [here](https://peakd.com/@newbies-guide).
