Inside Afghanistan in 2022 🏳️

I came to Afghanistan in October 2022 under the new Talib rule, safe to say this was the most nervous I have ever been visiting a country. I was joined by ‪@baldandbankrupt‬ on this journey which of course made it much more tense with his child like behaviour and eagerness to cause a scene on the streets of Kabul.

Cheers for inviting me and organising everything mate. I’ll never forget our last night being held in the Taliban compound ffs 😅 Zindabad

[@Bthe312]

Thank you both!

[@adayinthelifeofanorthkorea]

You will be enjoying Bosnia if you ever go there finally. But I guess it's gonna be North Korea, Somalia and East Timor for you before you go ever to Bosnia 😂

[@BackpackerBen]

Thanks for not selling me as a sex slave in the end

[@bibekjung7404]

ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB .. In OLD Orthodox Jewish Bible KABIR is mentioned...KABIR means (GREAT or MIGHTY GOD) in hebrew...but when translated in different languages translator removed KABIR word...

What a bunch of mad lads; this is why KZbin was created.

Afghanistan is not that bad

[@robertgiresi9515]

Well you 2 survived Glasgow, so going to Kabul was a piece of cake!

[@BackpackerBen]

That’s what I told myself before I came

Hey Ben thank you for visiting Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and sharing your experience with viewers around the world .take care and stay safe. CHEERS

[@worldview2134]

Great adventure Ben ! Definitely jealous! You both pulled this off amazingly 😮

[@BackpackerBen]

Cheers mate!

[@dvana]

A new travel channel which seems to have lots of content. Thanks for the collaboration with Ben, Ben, 😃 dragging him out of his hiatus. I look forward to seeing more from both of you. Fantastic to see to the real Afghanistan and it’s friendly people. Now it’s time to check out where you have been. Again, well done, interesting to see how both of you showcased this trip differently, 👏 👏

[@BackpackerBen]

Enjoy mate 😎

[@NikitaBenCarter]

As Bald says goodbye to Johnny FD in Brighton he heads to Afghanistan with Backpacker Ben. 🤣❤

[@tommywolfe2706]

Johnny complains, Bald probably got sick of hearing it.

[@Matt_from_Florida]

From gay-bar duet to Afghanistan. Content from A to B!

[@ucube33]

This is not the place for Johnny, he was upset about Bosnia, imagine him going to kabul...

[@johnappleseed9290]

Yeah… Johnny would’ve probably irritated the guide or cause a scene that could put bald in slight more risk even though he was being escorted by a Taliban approved guide, Johnny is a No Go for these places.

[@mizzo2006]

​@@ucube33 i am from Bosnia Hercegovina...why did not Johny liked my country...everybody does like Bosna👌❤😎

[@sutton513]

Videos like this show you that the vast majority of humans (even people in Western-perceived 'scary' countries) just want to be friendly and hospitable with each other. The media has a lot to answer for. Well done Ben. Subscribed.

What friendly people. I’m well travelled and the poorer country’s usually produce respectful people.

[@djetwelve]

Do you not have a clue what’s going on there the people(men ) might be friendly but they are on the brink of a famine while the women are being so mistreated . Notice no women Im The video the suffering they are going through now over there is inhumane so let’s not try glamourise the place .

[@jamesbinns8528]

Definitely the right companion to have on this trip I think. I've just watched Bald's video and it was great and I'm sure yours will be too. With Bald speaking fluent Russian he would have been a great help in the previous stans also, too bad he isn't allowed into Ukraine at the moment.

It's somewhere I've always fancied visiting because of the history but the risk to far to high. The majority of the people seem friendly but the place looks tense.. Just 24/7 tension everywhere.

[@idrisrasuli1528]

I will wait for your upcoming video, by the way, the person who was selling pomegranate juice, was telling you the price of one cup of juice was 30 afghani, not 300 Afghani.

Yes he told him small glass is 30 and bigger one 50 Afghanis

Afghanistan is safe. This guy is just nervous and scared all the time and both of them dramatize "Taliban, Taliban, Taliban" all the time. IEA security forces (,police and army) have a job to protect national security, same as security forces in other countries do. Don't be scared when u come to Afghanistan, don't come with preconceived prejudices either...Just come and enjoy your visit.
