      Balkan is still recovering from the war,and people work for 150 euros a month (that is IF they can find a job) Electric,water and heat bills cost more than half of that.
      What do you want those people to do,with all of problems on their own?You want everyone to ignore their own,and help other countries while their people starve and freeze?

    Fair play to ya mate. Videos like this are very important. I'm from Northern Ireland, and anytime I hear about Afghanistan all I think about is "Taliban" or "war". You give the civilians of Afghanistan a face and a voice. Just normal, hard-working people who are trying to live their lives. 20-30 years ago all you would have heard about Northern Ireland was violence, war and death. Yet most people just wanted to live their lives normally and in peace no matter their race, religion or creed.

      Not to offend you. But most women in Afghanistan absolutely reject the Western lifestyle.
      They only want the war to end. Their children to be fed and their men to go to work.
      Since Usa left, there is peace in this country. And although the West is blackmailing the Afghans at the moment they are happy with the new government and resilient.
      And another point. Both men and women were severely oppressed by western forces and before that by Russian forces. So I wish the Afghans the best, that they return to their culture of Islam, honesty, hard work, trade and happiness.

      one thing I've noticed from watching this guy's videos is that people from the hardest, most difficult countries to live in day to day almost always seem to be some of the kindest, most friendly, approachable and helpful people. here in the UK, or other countries like it, you'd never see the kind of hospitality and welcoming that has been shown by the people he's met in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Yemen, Brazil, etc.

NO. he's guided through safe areas by people who know the area already.

    Ive spent 21 months in Afghanistan and Ive been to about half of the provinces. This place intrigues me more than any other country Ive been to. It is the culture, the scenery but most importantly it is the people. They are so kind and hardy but live in such chaos. It is like peace and chaos, the wild west and extreme culture, heart ache and heartiness, new and old society all rolled into one extreme experience. That place is beautiful inside and out and would no doubt be a huge travel destination for when it becomes a safer place.

The more times you go the higher your chances of being kidnapped greatly increases. For an example just like those girls who went solo to Morocco and ended up being raped and decapitated by Islamic extremist. This is just scientific fact.
