We had one in our garden. Half of the meat was served to the family and the other half was given to the poor. I know I would never show these pictures to my mother because she really would not like it\u201d, she laughed.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea was also quite surprised to see that locals do not spend as much time on hard work but prefer to relax more. \u201cThis is not something I was used to. I can see a benefit to it, but at the same time I caught myself thinking that everybody is lazy. On the other hand, you don\u2019t have the insane rate of burn-outs, depression and loneliness you see in the Netherlands.\u201d Andrea shares stories like these with the readers on her personal blog. \u201cI do not want to be \u2018your average travel blogger\u2019, who tries to convince you Iran is the most awesome place on earth and that everything you thought or heard about it is wrong\u201d, she writes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emphasis on community<\/h2><p>All in all, this life-changing adventure taught Andrea a lot of valuable lessons. The sacrifices she made took her to the place where she wanted to be. She is now enjoying married life and finding happiness in simple daily routines, as well as building a business together. \u201cWe live in a society that tells us that we are capable of doing anything, achieving anything. And there\u2019s obviously truth to that, but going through all of these challenges together with Ehsan probably made me realise that you cannot do everything alone. Iran showed me that the general emphasis on the community rather than on the individual can be very comforting. I don\u2019t want to do it alone anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/featured-text\" class=\"md:mt-6 p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8 bg-sand-300 theme-sand:bg-white theme-violet:bg-white theme-mocha:bg-white wysiwyg *:last:mb-0!\" >\n\t\t<p>Do you want to know more about\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/huntingrarities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/huntingrarities\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">Andrea\u2019s life<\/a>\u00a0in Iran or her rug business?
