    Are you ready to discover the hidden gems of Afghanistan? Join me on an inspiring 5 week journey through this complex country, as I uncover the beauty, culture and resilience of the Afghan people.
    From the bustling streets of Kabul to the tranquil villages nestled in the mountains, this video takes you on a journey through Afghanistan's diverse landscapes and rich history.
    You'll get a glimpse into the daily lives of the Afghan people, as we visit local markets, explore ancient ruins, and meet with artisans and craftspeople who are keeping traditional Afghan culture alive.
    One of the highlights of my journey was a visit to the iconic Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, a stunning architectural masterpiece with a rich history. I also experience the stunning natural beauty of Bamiyan and the Hazara people, who have been living in the region for centuries.
    Throughout the video, you'll see the resilience of the Afghan people, who have faced decades of conflict and hardship, yet continue to persevere and find hope for the future.
    This video is a must-see for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Afghanistan and the people who call it home. Countless hours went into making this film, and I'd love to get your feedback in the comments below. How do you feel about long-form content like this? Your feedback is very valuable to me. Thank you, and please keep Afghanistan in your thoughts as they are going through a tough period.

      I’ve seen how your women dress though. Half their heads and ponytails hanging out of their hijabs in the masjid. It’s hard to believe they are oppressed at all, they barely wear hijab properly for all the fuss they and the world make about it. Compared to the Somali sisters in Jilbab the Iranian/Persian women at the masjid are practically no different than any western woman with her stuff all out.

    Remembering your previous videos about Afghanistan and the many encounters with nice peeps and your relationship with your tour guide Noor who eventually fled the country and the conflict. That was really heart breaking, more so, that many citizens have been and are still suffering the greed for power and supremacy and idealism of a few.. BTW, Drew you made me cry when you talked about the journey of Noor and his fam and because of your efforts, I believe even more that humanity is always present even in differences and complexities.

    I just found your channel and this particular video. I love it so much, I was there in 1979 for about a year, my husband was attached to the American Embassy at the time. Our children and I were evacuated from Kabul and sent to New Delhi just prior to the Russian invasion, my husband stayed there for an extra 3 months until everyone left.
    It was a magical time in my life and I have such amazing memories, the Afghan people are remarkable and it has been a constant sorrow to me that they have had to suffer through such terrible times. Thank you for showing a different view of the people than what has been broadcast through the mainstream media, as with most countries “the people” want nothing to do with conflict, only the people with the power want that, very sad.

I am currently watching videos of the Nomads of Afghanistan and I am in awe of the people's resiliency and cooperation with their fellow Nomads. They travel along treacherous mountain regions from one area to another. It's a tough life! I have a deep appreciation for them and their lives. They're always willing to give helping hands to one another, and the families manage without modern conveniences to live happy, healthy lives with little to nothing, but they make the best of it without complaints.
