The longest journey that I’ve ever had back to about two years ago when I wanted to move to the Netherlands. Once I lived in Iran, there isn’t any direct flight from Iran to Europe countries. So I had to go to other neighbors around Iran, like Dubai or Turkish, to get access to the Netherlands. So I went to Dubai airport at the first and I remember I was about 12 hours at that airport that was extremely hard and I was so tired. Especially, I had came from my home town that was a five-hour car driving to the Tehran airport. So after that the second flight came and I went to airplane for about five hours. And the destination was Amsterdam. I was completely alone and I didn’t have any companion. And after a while I felt I gave a headache that was extremely hard because I didn’t access to any tablets or any medicine help and I didn’t want to bother other people. So I just continue the way and finally I arrived to the Amesverdombe.

The longest journey that I've ever had was about two years ago when I wanted to move to the Netherlands. I lived in Iran, and there isn't any direct flight from Iran to European countries. So I had to go to neighboring countries around Iran, like Dubai or Turkey, to get access to the Netherlands. I went to Dubai airport first, and I remember I was at that airport for about 12 hours, which was extremely hard, and I was so tired. Especially since I had come from my hometown, which was a five-hour car ride to the Tehran airport. After that, the second flight came, and I was on the airplane for about five hours. The destination was Amsterdam. I was completely alone and didn't have any companion. After a while, I developed a headache, which was extremely hard because I didn't have access to any tablets or medicine, and I didn't want to bother other people.
