Praying from Indonesia that Afghanistan will be stable and prosperous country. It is rich in minerals and its citizens should be the ones who benefiting from it.

These people are so kind hearted, God bless Afghanistan and her people, they are so nice.

[juanolcese]

Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them at 82 years old and the possibility of getting to know an interesting culture. Receive my greetings from Argentina.

[mujeebullahDanish]

I don't know why, but you have taken a strong place in the hearts of the people of Afghanistan. We love you so much, just like a sister You are really a kind and knowledgeable person, may God always help you sister

It is just heartbreaking to not see any women in the streets, the markets, the parks, the restaurants, the hill tops….etc. just locked away and shut out from life. Never to be outside properly feeling the sun or wind on their faces, singing or talking out loud, nurturing or fulfilling their minds and souls through education and learning or being able to work and earn their own money. A female tourist can experience all the things a man can in a country where their own women cannot. I can’t understand it and It is just heart shattering and I can’t begin to imagine what these women are going through inside. I do pray for them, that one day this will all change and they will be free to live life with the same freedoms. I wish and hope for all these women to know how special, important and worthy they all are 💖

I traveled to Afghanistan in septermber 2018, i went hiking in the Wakhan Corridor and it was one of the most amazing places ive traveled to! And ive been to 70 plus countires around the world. I cant wait to go back and explore more of Afghanistan! Despite what you see on TV the afghans are lovely people!

[intrepidopal]

Seeing the pool made my blood run cold, before you even said anything. I’d seen it before, but something about being a (fellow!) ginger lady made it very relatable. They are such lovely people. You are an incredible representative for England, and travelers of all origins, really. 💕

[KhalidSuleman-eb]

Love this vid enjoyed it so much. Hope conditions get better for the afghan ppl

[ninany]

Beautiful country and people. The fact that women cannot climb to the top of a hill to enjoy the sunset is simply tragic.

[RichardlC]

Awesome film maker, awesome way to show the kindness of the afghan people.

[mae]

As a woman I can’t tell you how sad I feel for these women. And I have to be honest I get a bit frustrated with the people who proudly boast about Afghanistan. I am sure most of those comments are men. I often wonder how women in the west say we are fighting for equality in the west. Then you look at places like these and you realize we women in the west have it really good. There is nothing that a man can do that I cannot do. We are free. And these women don’t realize they are trapped like the birds in the cages.

Thank you for the video❤ praying for the prosperity of Afghanistan
