This book tells the story of my time in the 1990s when I traveled several times from Switzerland via Italy, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan to India and Nepal. It gives insight into the daily life of these overland journeys and what a woman has to deal with, in the Middle East as well as in West Asia. On one trip back to Switzerland, I had to take the vehicle through Iran alone because my driver and mechanic did not get a visa. The book contains many details of cultural experiences, historical sights, distances and everyday life on the road. It is written with a touch of fun and is meant to be informative but also entertaining.
