I was born in Tehran, the capital of country of Iran. Summer vacations we would spend our time in Kerend, Iran. A small town in mid-western part of the country. I have many fond memories of roaming the dirt streets, gardens and farms with my brothers, sisters and many local kids. I love to share a glimpse of those great times with you. Hope to ignite enjoyment and imagination for you all.

Kerend, surrounded by mountains, bestowed with great weather, brimmed with friendly people, and well known for many of its natural beauties, such as waterfalls, gardens, and unspoiled nature, is one of the best places that you can visit. 

Sarab, many private gardens. Great place for picnic!
