Day 1: Arriving In Kabul (extreme travel) - Afghanistan Under Taliban 🇦🇫

Показать описание

Inside Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Since I started to travel and explore Asia, Afghanistan has always been my dream country. The movies I have watched and the books I have read about Afghanistan have built dreamy expectations in my head of the country that I would not be able to experience anywhere else.

My visit did not disappoint - Afghanistan was time travel from bustling & unorganized bazaars, street shaves, same clothing in different colors, no brands, magnificent landscapes, and the bravest people with the biggest hearts of hospitality.

In my trip, we covered Mazar-i-Sharif, Kabul & Bamyan.

Visiting Afghanistan is a sensitive topic for many people. As in any country I go to, the main objective is to share the day-to-day life and spotlight the ordinary people that the mass media fail to capture. No matter how you feel about my trip, here is my summary.

Despite facing significant challenges, Afghanistan has many positive aspects that deserve recognition: diverse landscapes, rich history, warm hospitality, delicious cuisine, resilient people, and more!

Safety:

This was the biggest concern of many people I have talked to, and naturally, that has been the main worry when you enter a war-torn country over the last 40 years. With the takeover of the Taliban, the country is much safer than before; at least no conflicts are going on.

My Persian surname, which is the same as the current supreme leader of the Taliban, my cultural background, being a man with a +3 years long beard, and looking like one of the locals do not qualify me to talk about safety much when it comes to being a tourist. I had a significant advantage, considering the above.

Disclaimer: This is not a travel advisory. Afghanistan has a government that has not been recognized by any country, with no embassies and international relations. I am a professional traveler who explored the country with an organized guide.

I am watching you from the UK, and I am from Afghanistan.
When I am watching you with this interpreter, I appreciate him the most, whatever he is telling in your background for the people in my language is all for your benefit that makes me proud, he is trying his best to show you we (Afghans) are nice, fair, and welcoming.

not only are you a world traveller but you also make this world a better place, if more travellers can be like you, this world will be a far better place. I take my hat off to you, a golden heart. I had two azerbaijan friends who studied with me in KL one was Kamal and the other mehdi. great guys, greetings from CT.

I really enjoy this independent content from places where we hear and see a lot but mostly in the news. Thank you, great video and best of luck with everything

Afghanistan is one of those countries that I really want to visit before I die. Growing up, I always heard bad things because of the war, but after seeing it through a different lens (you, Bald and Bankrupt) I really feel like I need to see it for myself.
