Actually the main reason for staring is because you are a foreigner and as you know there are not too many foreigners visiting Pakistan.Thatswhy people are surprised at how western people are and they look like.❤
I don't even think its because she is 'western' so to speak. She is even wearing Pakistani clothes. I think its the fact that she is vlogging and speaking to a camera and so that an incite curiosity sometimes. i.e. what is she doing? Is she talking into something? Or to herself? etc
haha the same guy on the cart saying "welcome to Pakistan" was in a little video I made. Insane that you caught the exact same guy in a video that we caught
@@shrekismybae that is what I said to some extent 🙂 A Gentle man will always lower his gaze before the Non mehram woman, irrespective she has covered herself or not.
@@shrekismybaewomen are safe in Pakistan ALHAMDULILLAH and wearing hijab is best thing for woman because woman beauty is only for her man not for every men on street like Europe
@user-vq7jz3ub3d still you have to lower your gaza as a Muslim that is my point, because Muslim knows how males are made & what is bad fitrat 🙂 that is why I said to some extent!
@user-vq7jz3ub3d anyways flora was treated well & with respect by all the man there that is what matters. & I am watching Pakistan & her vlogs from IOK 🥰
Greetings from Pakistan! I'm delighted you're here and hope your experience is nothing short of wonderful. If you have the chance, exploring Southern Punjab, particularly the charming city of Muzaffargarh. Thank you for choosing Pakistan as your destination-we're thrilled to have you!
Watching your video is like taking a virtual vacation. Stunning cinematography!❤ You've turned each moment into a visual poem. What an incredible travel vlog!❤❤❤ Love you from Pakistan......
Your travel vlogs take us on a captivating journey to stunning locations, skillfully narrating the unique charm of each place through compelling storytelling and stunning cinematography 🙌
i was in the same hotel the empire just before you guys. one of the staff showed me the secrete tunnels under Peshawar which was cool. Peshawar actually has some mean vegetarian food , the dals were amazing. spotted a few locals i remember . every one stares there ant many foreigners, but the people are supper friendly i had trouble paying for stuff people dont want to take your money so use to walk around with a box of chocolates. i spent over a month there so much cool history places to see . really love the place recommend talking to the locals , they are a amazing people very welcoming kind.
oooh , people of this region have always been welcome the foriegners , i.e turks,afghans,central asians, mongols,(Mughals) romans, persians, and British.
Another amazing video, Flora! 🙌 Every video has a different style to it, and I love seeing you try them all out. So far, you have nailed every single one, and I see you improving with each video you post. Keep going, and there’s no limit to what you can do.
You are always welcome to the city with the name of which pure and selfless hospitality reflects. Peshawar holds a heritage of keeping long distance travellers and making their stay special and memorable.
They are the most hospitable people in the world. They may not have money and go hungry but feed the best food to their guest. They have massive heart and their hospitality has no limit.
Welcome to Peshawar.......I hope you did not face much trouble. Staring by people is because of two reasons. 1) Its been ages since foreigners used to visit Peshawar. Now they rarely see any. 2) You are staying in a relatively conservative/ poor area. Anyways, I hope things will improve. Just wanna know how long is your stay??as I would like to invite you both for lunch or dinner and also show you around the city, but I will be out of city tomorrow on Saturday and will return in the evening. I can also take you to the Gemstone market which is near your hotel I guess. Since I have many friends in the market, you will get lots of good quality Gemstone as a Gift. Plz respond back so we coordinate.
@@stevilburgess135 actually I have friendship with the management of the Gems Association especially their president. They keep inviting me to visit the market etc but I usually decline. Anyways, if any of my guest visits them, they will extend full protocol and assistance.
I see many people looking and smiling, just one with a nasty look. And a lot of "wanting to be in contact". Which I can imagine in a society where it is important to know each other.
All sim cards works everywhere in Pakistan you don't have to buy again and again just recharge it. Only issue came when you visit northeren areas due to signal issue few networks not working well but in all other country only one sim is enough...
I am from Peshawar. I lived many years in Europe. I still remembering walking in Kinkerstraat, Keukenhof, Strand-Arena (something like this), Afsluitdijk, canals, bridges, Madame Tussauds, Trams, Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum, The Dam square, Bikes, RED...., Palace, Chambers, Jordaan Neighborhood, Coffee Shops, Tall Ships, Road trips, agricultural lands and many many more places
That's wonderful! It's always great to have kind and genuine people like you. It's amazing how you capture and showcase the true beauty of our Peshawar. We're lucky to have you😊🌍
Here is some information which will be helpful for everyone visiting Pakistan. Every big city has modernized/upper class areas. In those areas you can walk around without head covering or in shirts and trousers. But the areas that are more working class areas, you should cover your head. Peshawar is a bit conservative city compared to Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. There is no surprise that people are looking at her when she is walking without head covering. Going with someone is definitely recommended. I hope it helps.
I've spent almost 5 year in Peshawar... And yesss that was the most beautiful part of my life..! I Still remember each and every place in Peshawar and that video reminds the amazing memories of the city.....❤ Nice to see you there!!
Thank you so much for gracing Pakistan with your presence! Your visit has not only brought joy to your fans here but has also showcased the beauty of our country. If you haven't already, do consider exploring the vibrant city of Karachi - its rich culture and diverse experiences await your discovery... You're Welcome..
The city's rich history, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality shine through every frame. The bustling markets, the breathtaking architecture, and the lively streets showcase Peshawar's unique charm. It's incredible to see how the city seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. i wish that you will ate try the local food of Peshawar. when you came next time. Thank you for coming Peshawar....💌
Ms, Flora Thank you for the warm invitation! I'm glad you think so highly of Peshawar culture and would love to learn more about it. Pakistan has a rich heritage with so much to offer, from its diverse landscapes to its vibrant traditions. If you have any favorite aspects of Pakistani culture or places you'd recommend, I'd love to hear about them!
Actually even as a Pakistani from Karachi visiting the north I myself have felt the stares. And I’m a guy. That has a lot to do with the people there seeing someone different from them. Now you being a foreigner and then a female are likely to get more of that. But again, it’s just the curiosity of the simple people living there, nothing more.
I don't think its because she is 'western' so to speak. She is even wearing Pakistani clothes. I think its the fact that she is vlogging and speaking to a camera and so that an incite curiosity sometimes. i.e. what is she doing? Is she talking into something? Or to herself? etc
Don’t put north in it . Check her Gilgit /Chitral vlog . Northern areas are the most open minded people in pakistan . This is kpk pathan city , you better know their mentality .. So kindly choose your words wisely
@@AxonPK People in most places in the world (99.99% places) aren't used to (even though some might be familiar w/) a bunch of white people looking for CONTENT (carrying around a GoPro, and talking to themselves). Somehow these clown vloggers do not get it. Ridiculous. In addition, in this case, she is in Peshawar, and she literally STANDS OUT - she looks like she is towering over everybody. And, for some reason she thought that people staring at her was unusual. Seriously.
Hi Flora, you bring in immense simplicity yet much richness in your videos. There are places where you may like in Pakistan i.e. Baluchistan where you can see "Sphinx", "Lady of hope" and mountains with beautiful carvings.
Seriously Peshawar is the city of love, hospitality, justice, humanity,and happiness here everybody want to do help the others and create Love and humanity it is the extraordinary city of whole Pakistan
I am also from peshawar truly speaking that very less foreigners come to pakistan especially peshawar this is the main reason behind staring ...but yeah people of peshawar are very friendly... hospitable....and humble
Hey Flora, hope Peshawar treated you well! I caught your video all the way from the USA. I visited my city just last month and wished I could've given you a local's tour beyond the crowded spots. Peshawar's got a reserved vibe, and those stares? Just curious folks - no harm intended. Even when I rock shalwar kameez in the USA, I get the same curious looks. Let me know if you're still around; I'd love to help you explore the beautiful Pathan culture beyond the usual!
I am personally very grateful to you. That you visited Pakistan and showed our positive face to the world. I am especially grateful for the visit to Peshawar. Thank you very much
"Excited to share that I'll be visiting Pakistan next month! From everything I've heard, it sounds like a stunning country with a relaxed vibe and welcoming people. I can't wait to experience it all firsthand and share my journey through videos on this channel.
I’m sorry to see that you didn’t explore Peshawar as well as it deserves. Not your fault, you myst hire someone local. Anyway, Peshawar is a city known for best hospitality and there is nothing to fear about even you walk alone anywhere. Hijab in such city in some areas is a reality, but without hijab never meant you are unsafe. Have good time ahead.
Nice to see you in Peshawar. I live in peshawar and i believe its one of the best cities in pakistan, peshawars hospitality is unmatched and food is amazing. I think you were getting stares because in peshawar city area girls cover themselves. Like in hijab or burka and they don't really see foreigners in Peshawar. I know that part needs to be changed but otherwise its a great place to live. Also you passed sethi house you should've visited that place its beautiful and has a long history you would've found out guide there too.
Additionally, hats of ur a natural how u film and present everything. Im currently few hours from venlo, but traveling next week to Karachi. Thanks for the support and hope you can do more. Just dont get lost in the crowded markets in the ending of the fasting month.
Hy Flora, thank you so much for being in Peshawar and reflecting the true color. Although I now live in Islamabad but that's my home city.. Wish to have you back with amazing and wonderful experiences next time. Happy travelling.
Many people in Peshawar have never been in contact or visited a foreign country which actually makes them a lot curious about how western people look like which is why you are being stared a lot. Anyways, enjoy the hospitality of your Peshawaris.
When you visit Peshawar next, be sure to explore Fort Bala Hisar, Bab-e-Khyber, the Peshawar Museum, the bustling Saddar Bazaar, andThe Islamia University Peshawar. You should definitely check out these spots💕💕
Ethnically im pashtun, but i was born and raised in Sweden. Ive been to peshawar twice and i get a lot of stares aswell because they simply know that im foreign.
Welcome to Peshawar Mam. Don't feel unsafe. Don't worry you're safe because these people are happy to see foreign people. Peshawar people clean from hearts 😊❤❤
I see most of them truly friendly and interested, only one man looking away in a bit negative way. But all others (especially the older) being so super friendly. And proud to have a visitor.
I just find your channel! I live in NL and at the end of the year I will travel to Pakistan for 6 weeks. Im also vegetarian, so seeing the whole aspect about this, is super. Thank you so much ❤
The Staring From The People Bcz They Are New To English People So They Wonder To You Among Themselves And We Really Get Happy When You People Are Here Showing Our Great Image To World. Thank You So Much ❤
We stayed in peshawar for nearly 2 months and had no issue with accommodations and could stay anywhere we liked really and went for the cheaper hotels near university town. Also you'll only get meat unfortunately, I know its difficult! hahah. not much food to choose from.
Hey! Thanks for your comment! Love your videos :) can I ask around which time you were staying in Peshawar? I was there last month and know regulations have changed quite recently. Just curious 😊 And no, I’m so glad I love dahl so much because I’ve been eating it for 3 months straight! 😂
Thanks for uploading, and keep going! You'll be thriving on your channel in no time :) its all about consistency! We were Basically there prob around 2022 in August last. Actually, I don't know the rules these days, but they say you need this and that when we were there, too, but nobody really asked questions in the end, lol. You took the local bus, which usually bypasses checkpoints to get asked these questions, too. We found the food difficult in Pakistan. It was the most difficult country to eat in overall, as we always had stomach issues no matter how much we would try to avoid it. sometimes we would just consider cooking ourselves a lot in the hotels we stayed as vegetables are so cheap! @@floragonning
As a local Pakistani I am really sorry about what happened to all of you all with stomach issues. First factor is that street food in Pakistan is horrible which is not safe at all. The 2nd major factor is the spice level where it reacts differently to your sensitive stomachs. The third factor is the high altitude in the north of Pakistan where many people get stomach issues because of the change of altitude in no time. If those coming to Pakistan can understand these 3 factors they can have a much better time.
Most welcome to our beautiful country and our historic state kpk, trust me I am in UAE dubai but when ever I watch foreign video by you RUclips,Facebook or another social media so I feel too happy and we pushtoon are so happy to guest , I hope you also felt the pushtoon hospitality whatever many many welcome I appreciate you and your team having a nice trip.
Its my third or fourth time watching this video , you were at old peshawar city but thing is unfourtunatly you wnt there on sunday which made few difficulties like geting connection sim. second thing in these past few years people faced alot of unstability due to which foreigners are not now usullay visit as because of the situation in last decade but now its peace here i am resident of peshawar . third thing is you havent contact to any one so he/she will be able to give you visit to beautiful places of Peshawar ,as peshawar in very rich in history. and also history of Pashtoon are very rich . so its an invitation from my side again come to peshawar be my guest or any one you know him belongs from peshawar , your opion then will be 180 degree change , as you already showed that guy was helping you just because you are guest and its our culture . elders were offering you food and most important thing is language barrier. Anyways Good luck . and again anytime you are welcome to Pakistan.
You are always more than welcome to our city. The way you describe people and our city was marvelous. Visit peshawar again to see the real peshwar and hospitality of our city.
Absolutely, simply putting something over your head would attract much less attention and stares. I don't know why, but many tourists overlook some of the stunning locations in Peshawar. Islamia College, for instance, is an incredible destination to visit and explore. There is also this place called the Sethi House which is incredible. But one thing is for sure, as a tourist, you're going to attract attention and stares, whether you're male or female. However, the locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's just that they don't know how to react to someone who looks different from them.
i happy to find your vlog in PESHAWAR, Actually even as a Pakistani from Lahore visiting. I hope this message finds you well. It is with great pleasure that I extend an invitation for you to visit Lahore, Pakistan.
Your travel vlogs take us on a captivating journey to stunning locations, skillfully narrating the unique charm of each place through compelling storytelling and stunning cinematography 🙌
Sister Peshawar is full of historical places like forts , Bollywood actors old houses , gradens , bazaars, hotels, streets, museum , and a rich history of this city specially there traditional dresses , and buses with local art and the most hostile people I think you will enjoy
How can i not be thankful to all the vloggers who are communicating the real image of our society that is 180 degrees opposite of what we are portrayed by Western mass media tycoons CNN BBC etc. We got a different culture but love needs no tradition barriers or language to be felt and communicated. Thanks a lot mam.❤❤❤
Never feel unsafe and uncomfortable with the stares... They are just curious of how western people look talk and how they spend their life ... i myself am from peshawar and i wish i had passed by you guys so i could take you to all the beautiful places here in peshawar and to the drift tracks and every fun in peshawar ... (for free without any greed) just so people around the world get the true image of pakistan and PESHAWAR specially ! Loads of love and support ! Do visit again
Peshawar is one of the beautiful city of Pakistan with lots of historic sites to explore. Hospitality is on high. Food is amazing and you need to reach to certain places to enjoy that. I little study about Peshawar before going out would have resolve your all issues :).
I hope you enjoyed your trip to Pakistan and thank you so much for your kind and authentic views about Pakistani, especially Peshawar Pakhtuns people. God bless you
You have not travel the historical places in Peshawar i.e qilla Bala hisaar etc . If you visit that places than I am sure it would be an amazing tour for you.😊😊
That's my capital city, saw it after a year through your lense. I recently went to Masstricht, I must say it is one of the most beautiful places I have seen
Thank You for visiting us and showing our real side, we are peaceful loving people. Yes we do got people who are vey innocent and haven't seen foreigners so they do stare surprisingly but are harmless. We would appreciate you discovering more cities of Pakistan......Thank You
I recommend you to utilize a shawl or hair cap, it will help you blend in softly and you will feel more comfortable in public spaces in certain cities in Pakistan
Thank YOU dearly for making this. I am a retired Elementary School Teacher traveling to Lahore soon... You answered many questions I had. Thank you. I started traveling in 1980 American Exchange Student to RSA ... Keep that Safari 🦁 Spirit ... You never know what you will find 💎 "Oh the Places you will go...

You can visit the 40th Pathans monument on the bank of river Indus near Attock bridge. the monument is in the memory of Pathans died in Ypres, Belgium 1915
I think she will be so happy after going to Peshawar.because there are great people or beutiful place for enjoying.and everyone respect of women more then their self ❤❤❤❤
I am leaving a comment here with the hope that some day some where I shall meet Flora Gonning, and whenever someone like this comment that will be a reminder of these words. 😊😊😊
lol I’m assuming it was the Europeans. They forget they look nothing like the indigenous people, in fact you look more similar to them. Europeans need to return to Europe. Fact.
Besides everything, THANK YOU for calling it Peshawar and not Pishawaaar like all other foreigner tourists :| Thank you for learning the correct pronunciation.
Welcome to Peshawar. I am glad that you found this place safe and friendly. This is my city. I would have made you my guest if i was aware of your coming here. 😊
Ik wist dat ik die typische Nederlands-Engels accent herkende. Leuk om te zien dat je op reis gaat naar landen als Pakistan die niet de beste imago hebben in het buitenland. Elk land is in principe veilig genoeg om de natuur, cultuur en mensen te ontmoeten. Ik hoop dat je het naar je zin gaat hebben!
Actually the main reason for staring is because you are a foreigner and as you know there are not too many foreigners visiting Pakistan.Thatswhy people are surprised at how western people are and they look like.❤

No bro we all know what it is , this is typicaly pakistani tharak
@@OsmanGhazi-w1s Shame on you man, get some self respect. You were obviously raised without a self esteem.
@@OsmanGhazi-w1s not always a tharak.. Its because of the unusual. You dressed in Hijab and roam in west .... u will attract attention.
Pakistani people are very kind and warm people. The stares are actually due to the curiosity because they don't see foreigners very often.
Tell her don't visit India please. Pakistan is safe not India
@@Factdellbut i wonder y
That's so true its all outta curiosity
They stare at all women, quite rude,when they should be lowering their gaze. No respect whatsoever
yeah they are so kind that they kill innocent Hindus.
That's a beautiful impression of the city and the inhabitants....makes you wanna go there yourself! Well done again! 👌👏👏
haha the same guy on the cart saying "welcome to Pakistan" was in a little video I made. Insane that you caught the exact same guy in a video that we caught
Mother of coincidence 😂
He could be for rent.
that is bcouse its a small city.
@@SohailTaj-mz1wg it's not a small city
He’s the city’s official one man welcome committee.
Wearing hijab is necessary thing to avoid unnecessary attention to some extent!
💯 right

The hotel at 2:14 appears to be the Rabat Balana Hotel, located in Lower Dir, my hometown.

Additionally, hats of ur a natural how u film and present everything. Im currently few hours from venlo, but traveling next week to Karachi. Thanks for the support and hope you can do more.
Just dont get lost in the crowded markets in the ending of the fasting month.
Another great video! I think your explanation of your solo outing is spot-on - it shows much maturity and good understanding of your environment
Beautiful insight. Actually one of the best i have ever seen. I just watched it but thank you and welcome again to our lovely city.
Welcome,Glad to see you in Peshawar. As a Pakistani We must help such foreigners as much as we can. And sorry for SIM card drama 😅😅(change location)
Nice to see you there. Peshawar is a beautiful city known for its flavorful food and hospitality. Hope to see you again in Peshawar
Thanks for visiting the Peshawar we are not terrorist. We are loveing people ❤
We are grateful to you for coming to our country and showing these people around here. Masha'Allah, great.🇵🇰♥️
Hy Flora, thank you so much for being in Peshawar and reflecting the true color. Although I now live in Islamabad but that's my home city.. Wish to have you back with amazing and wonderful experiences next time. Happy travelling.
Many people in Peshawar have never been in contact or visited a foreign country which actually makes them a lot curious about how western people look like which is why you are being stared a lot. Anyways, enjoy the hospitality of your Peshawaris.
When you visit Peshawar next, be sure to explore Fort Bala Hisar, Bab-e-Khyber, the Peshawar Museum, the bustling Saddar Bazaar, andThe Islamia University Peshawar. You should definitely check out these spots💕💕
Thanks for the video .I cant get enough of these Northern part of Pakistan videos. Its a different world.
Thanks for coming 😊
Ethnically im pashtun, but i was born and raised in Sweden. Ive been to peshawar twice and i get a lot of stares aswell because they simply know that im foreign.
THNKS FLORA FOR PRESENTING REAL IMAGE OF PAKISTAN TO THE WORLD
I like your visit Pakistan and explore Pakistani culture I really very happy to see foreigners in Pakistan ❤👍🌹🫶
Welcome to Peshawar Mam. Don't feel unsafe. Don't worry you're safe because these people are happy to see foreign people. Peshawar people clean from hearts 😊❤❤
I see most of them truly friendly and interested, only one man looking away in a bit negative way. But all others (especially the older) being so super friendly. And proud to have a visitor.
I just find your channel! I live in NL and at the end of the year I will travel to Pakistan for 6 weeks. Im also vegetarian, so seeing the whole aspect about this, is super. Thank you so much ❤
The Staring From The People Bcz They Are New To English People So They Wonder To You Among Themselves And We Really Get Happy When You People Are Here Showing Our Great Image To World.
Thank You So Much ❤
We stayed in peshawar for nearly 2 months and had no issue with accommodations and could stay anywhere we liked really and went for the cheaper hotels near university town. Also you'll only get meat unfortunately, I know its difficult! hahah. not much food to choose from.
Hey! Thanks for your comment! Love your videos :)
can I ask around which time you were staying in Peshawar? I was there last month and know regulations have changed quite recently. Just curious 😊
And no, I’m so glad I love dahl so much because I’ve been eating it for 3 months straight! 😂
Thanks for uploading, and keep going! You'll be thriving on your channel in no time :) its all about consistency!
We were Basically there prob around 2022 in August last. Actually, I don't know the rules these days, but they say you need this and that when we were there, too, but nobody really asked questions in the end, lol. You took the local bus, which usually bypasses checkpoints to get asked these questions, too.
We found the food difficult in Pakistan. It was the most difficult country to eat in overall, as we always had stomach issues no matter how much we would try to avoid it. sometimes we would just consider cooking ourselves a lot in the hotels we stayed as vegetables are so cheap! @@floragonning
Yeah, our poor weak stomachs didn’t do so well either 😂 thanks a lot!!
As a local Pakistani I am really sorry about what happened to all of you all with stomach issues. First factor is that street food in Pakistan is horrible which is not safe at all. The 2nd major factor is the spice level where it reacts differently to your sensitive stomachs. The third factor is the high altitude in the north of Pakistan where many people get stomach issues because of the change of altitude in no time. If those coming to Pakistan can understand these 3 factors they can have a much better time.
So inspiring. We are in Islamabad now and we like everything about the country so far. 😊
a very warm welcome to my city, I'm thrilled to see you in Peshawar, stay blessed
Most welcome to our beautiful country and our historic state kpk, trust me I am in UAE dubai but when ever I watch foreign video by you RUclips,Facebook or another social media so I feel too happy and we pushtoon are so happy to guest , I hope you also felt the pushtoon hospitality whatever many many welcome I appreciate you and your team having a nice trip.
Its my third or fourth time watching this video , you were at old peshawar city but thing is unfourtunatly you wnt there on sunday which made few difficulties like geting connection sim. second thing in these past few years people faced alot of unstability due to which foreigners are not now usullay visit as because of the situation in last decade but now its peace here i am resident of peshawar . third thing is you havent contact to any one so he/she will be able to give you visit to beautiful places of Peshawar ,as peshawar in very rich in history. and also history of Pashtoon are very rich . so its an invitation from my side again come to peshawar be my guest or any one you know him belongs from peshawar , your opion then will be 180 degree change , as you already showed that guy was helping you just because you are guest and its our culture . elders were offering you food and most important thing is language barrier. Anyways Good luck . and again anytime you are welcome to Pakistan.
You are always more than welcome to our city. The way you describe people and our city was marvelous.
Visit peshawar again to see the real peshwar and hospitality of our city.
Absolutely, simply putting something over your head would attract much less attention and stares.
I don't know why, but many tourists overlook some of the stunning locations in Peshawar. Islamia College, for instance, is an incredible destination to visit and explore. There is also this place called the Sethi House which is incredible.
But one thing is for sure, as a tourist, you're going to attract attention and stares, whether you're male or female. However, the locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's just that they don't know how to react to someone who looks different from them.
Thank you sooooo much for delivering such a good impression about Peshawar.
Thank You So Much Medam You Come Pakistan i Am So Happy ۔...
i happy to find your vlog in PESHAWAR, Actually even as a Pakistani from Lahore visiting. I hope this message finds you well. It is with great pleasure that I extend an invitation for you to visit Lahore, Pakistan.

Nice to see somebody like you guys at Peshawar. Would love to have you back for another visit.
How can i not be thankful to all the vloggers who are communicating the real image of our society that is 180 degrees opposite of what we are portrayed by Western mass media tycoons CNN BBC etc.
We got a different culture but love needs no tradition barriers or language to be felt and communicated.
Thanks a lot mam.❤❤❤

Welcome in Peshawar dear brother and sister ❤
Looking like a city of 80's era. Can't believe it is the capital of KPK
Peshawar is one of the beautiful city of Pakistan with lots of historic sites to explore. Hospitality is on high. Food is amazing and you need to reach to certain places to enjoy that. I little study about Peshawar before going out would have resolve your all issues :).
I hope you enjoyed your trip to Pakistan and thank you so much for your kind and authentic views about Pakistani, especially Peshawar Pakhtuns people. God bless you
You are a very brave girl....love from Pakistan bannu
You have not travel the historical places in Peshawar i.e qilla Bala hisaar etc .
If you visit that places than I am sure it would be an amazing tour for you.😊😊
That's my capital city, saw it after a year through your lense. I recently went to Masstricht, I must say it is one of the most beautiful places I have seen
Thank You for visiting us and showing our real side, we are peaceful loving people. Yes we do got people who are vey innocent and haven't seen foreigners so they do stare surprisingly but are harmless. We would appreciate you discovering more cities of Pakistan......Thank You
I recommend you to utilize a shawl or hair cap, it will help you blend in softly and you will feel more comfortable in public spaces in certain cities in Pakistan
Thank YOU dearly for making this. I am a retired Elementary School Teacher traveling to Lahore soon... You answered many questions I had. Thank you.

I think she will be so happy after going to Peshawar.because there are great people or beutiful place for enjoying.and everyone respect of women more then their self ❤❤❤❤
I am leaving a comment here with the hope that some day some where I shall meet Flora Gonning,
and whenever someone like this comment that will be a reminder of these words. 😊😊😊
When I was living in America as a woman I faced so much racism and hate.and u r enjoying in my country.
lol I’m assuming it was the Europeans. They forget they look nothing like the indigenous people, in fact you look more similar to them. Europeans need to return to Europe. Fact.
Racism towards non-whites in a country which belongs to non-white indigenous people? You couldn’t make it up! lol
Great meeting you in Karimabad! I was wit the group of motorcyclists from the States… Safe travels, Flora!
Pakistan so much cleaner and safer than India. I am amazed and the people are nice here.
Besides everything, THANK YOU for calling it Peshawar and not Pishawaaar like all other foreigner tourists :| Thank you for learning the correct pronunciation.
Welcome to Peshawar. I am glad that you found this place safe and friendly. This is my city. I would have made you my guest if i was aware of your coming here. 😊
Ik wist dat ik die typische Nederlands-Engels accent herkende. Leuk om te zien dat je op reis gaat naar landen als Pakistan die niet de beste imago hebben in het buitenland. Elk land is in principe veilig genoeg om de natuur, cultuur en mensen te ontmoeten. Ik hoop dat je het naar je zin gaat hebben!
I dont usually comment but both of you have such a nice vibe and the way you show everything positively is so beautiful ❤
