Two people, one road
We are Simin and Hamid, a married couple who swapped a fixed address for a slower way of travelling. Becoming Miles is where we keep the notes: what things cost, what we would do again, and what we would skip.

What we promise you
We pay our own way
Unless a page says it is sponsored, we paid for it ourselves.
We say how we know it
Every pick shows whether we used it, visited it, or only researched it.
We keep pages up to date
Prices and facts carry the date we last checked them.
No fake reviews
No made-up ratings, no invented readers, no copied opinions.
Follow the journey
We post the vlog first and the chapter a few days later.
