I am a writer, journalist and broadcaster specialising in Iran. I also write travel books and am a health and beauty journalist. I am currently working on a book about Iran to be published by Bloomsbury in 2009. As an Iranian who has grown up largely in the UK but spends part of every year in Iran, I am uniquely placed to commentate on life in the Islamic Republic and as such I am regularly invited to give public talks about modern Iran in the UK and USA.

I have co-authored the Lonely Planet Guide to Iran, appeared as a commentator on BBC Radio Four and published several substantial features for UK broadsheets, most of which can be viewed by clicking on my website below.

I am currently based between London and Florence and contribute travel articles on Florence and Tuscany to national broadsheets and international travel magazines.
