Solo female traveler in Afghanistan (video)


(Eva zu Beck, March 20, 2021) Welcome to Afghanistan! What is Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, like? Drew Binsky has one point of view; I have another. After more than two years of planning, this trip is finally here, and I couldn't be more excited.

Yoohoo! EZB sounds gutsy. Feminists rule.
A 10-day self-quarantine and two COVID tests in Istanbul later, I flew to Kabul, where I met my guide and friend, Gull (IG silkroadafghan...).

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. Excited as I am? Support my work at patreon.com/evazubeck.

⚠️ UPDATE: Since my trip to Afghanistan, the Taliban have been taking over their country again, killing innocent people and taking away hope from a nation already destabilized by American terror, drone killings, and intervention, which followed years of Russian imperial intervention.
Please note that Gull and family are safe and no longer in the country.
