Welcome to... Afghanistan! After more than 2 years of planning, this trip is finally here, and I couldn't be more excited. A 10-day self-quarantine and 2 COVID tests in Istanbul later, I flew to Kabul, the Afghan capital, where I met my friend and guide, Gull ( / silkroadafghanistantravel .
My first day in Afghanistan REALLY wasn't what I had expected it to be... In fact, the whole trip was a huge surprise. I can't wait to share the whole, 6-episode series with you!

I hope you get to talk to Gull on the phone to see how he is today now that the Taliban has taken over his country. He seems to be such a kind Afghan,, his love for his family and country is very apparent. Sending prayers for Gull and family safety, from the Philippines.

Like I've always said, Eva is the most interesting person you'll come across on KZbin. I've always been curious about Afghanistan and I can now get to see it through Eva's eyes. I am so looking forward to seeing more. Thank you, Eva. ❤

Thank you! I hope you enjoy this virtual journey :)

Gull, and his family seem so lovely and kind! The dinner presentation looked so beautiful and that's so kind of them to make you all vegetarian food. What a beautiful family 💓💓💓

[@boxingmmacars23]

Considering most afghan dishes has meat on it or dairy it was impressive that they made a whole dinner without it

Though it would be a war crime, it would've been very quick and easy to kill everyone. The amount of Jews that died does not compare to the losses in Afghanistan. Very different numbers.
