Travel bloggers finally found after mysteriously going missing in Iran for 3 months

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in a live broadcast on Facebook the government had been working hard to ensure the pair’s “safe exit”, but did not go into detail about what had happened

Two travel bloggers and social media influencers have been allowed to exit Iran following weeks of reported detention.

New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade broke the news after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in a live broadcast on Facebook the government had been working hard to ensure the pair’s “safe exit”.

Newlyweds Topher Richwite, 34, and Bridget Thackwray, 27, have spent the last few years travelling in their branded Jeep and frequently posting shots of them across the globe, for a project called Expeditionearth.live.

When their feed went silent, with the last post 16 weeks ago, many of their 300,000 fans posted tonnes of worried messages asking about their safety but got no reply.
