Introduction:

Hi, maybe if it wasn’t for hi, I’m sure no words could break the silence so beautifully! What really happened when I wrote this book? My cell phone rings and I’m lying on the couch at an angle of 170 degrees due to exhaustion.

I’m not sure whether to answer or not… or I’m totally late. I will give “Be Alone but Be a Man” as a gift at the exhibition to one of the writers who works on the subject of travel, and this writer’s behavior annoys me a little! And I share this issue with someone who makes a suggestion that sparks in my mind that I unconsciously see myself inside this challenge and after my phone conversation ends, I lock myself at home for 56 days until I read this book now. It is in your hands to present. In my life, I may not have been a winner, but I have never been a loser. I am an adventurous person who loves to travel. I am a risk taker. I have traveled to more than forty countries and two dozen cities, and most of my beginnings have been great and my endings have been awful. I hope in the end, the book brings the smile of satisfaction to your lips.

I headed for Canada on October 17, 2018, and I am going to share with the readers of this book a summary of my experiences during a few months from the cities of Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Whistler, etc., in the hope of borderless days.

In this map, the province of British Columbia, which I plan to visit, can be seen. In general, Canada is 6 times the size of Iran in terms of geography and has a population of 36 million people, and it also has 13 provinces. Vancouver is located in the province of British Columbia. First, I would like to explain a little bit about getting a roaming visa, which is somehow a disaster for us, because it has the highest number of searches on the Internet these days and its very trending. Both for those who apply for a Canadian visa and for those who claim to get a visa, in short, the city is full of fraudsters who intend to make money in this way, and even the grocer on the street has this claim! After getting a Schengen visa several times, I applied for a Canadian visa last summer.

The financial and property documents of my job (I am the director of an airline agency) have been completed and I handed them over to one of my colleagues so that he can take action. They rejected me the first time! Later, I found out that my forms were filled in by airline agency wrongly! I protested again through one of my friends in Vancouver and with the help of my good friend Mr. Tafsiri, an immigration lawyer in Vancouver, I applied again and my visa was approved for the second time.

The day I saw my visa approval letter, I had an indescribable happiness and a strange power had arisen in my cells. I booked a Lufthansa flight ticket two months ago, and every day contradictory news was heard that foreign airlines are canceling their flights to Iran. They stopped it and I was stressed until the last day that it might happen to me too?! After the detective game of the visa control officers with strange devices at 2 in the morning, the flight departs from Imam airport with a special order, there is no empty seat on the flight. I arrived in Frankfurt at 5:40 in the morning…
