If you respect their culture and their religion, they will defend you like a family member. You must visit eastern Afghanistan, especially Nuristan province. It's an amazing video.❤️
Oh yes tourist only go to Kabul and Bamyan and Matar sharif but no one go to Nouristan I think people can see Switzerland, Europe and America all together in Nouristan in Afghanistan because the Nature of Nouristan is crazy 😍😍👏🏼👏🏼
Exactly! “If you're not careful, the newspapers (media) will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” Malcolm X
Respect goes both ways! Muslims should respect Christians also! If Jesus is mentioned as the son of God, that could mean imprisonment or death depending on which country you are in.
I don’t know how I ended up on this channel but these videos on Afganistán are award winning. I can’t believe she’s producing this herself. I’d watch this as a tv show!
I’m from Afghanistan, Living in the US. I have not been to Afghanistan from 4 years. Watching you videos making me cry. If anyone want to visit Afghanistan let me know please I can guide them very will.
We as Afghans really appreciate her visit to Afghanistan and she is most welcomed to Afghanistan not only her any one that want to come Afghanistan they more then welcome as long as your not wearing an army uniform lol. the west don’t get to see this on the media what she is showing the world here in this video
I was born in Afghanistan, honestly I have seen the beautiful beaches of Australia to Cancun Mexico and so many other places but the natural beauty of the lake is incredibly beautiful you can’t compare it with anywhere else
@@youssofhmahmoud give it some time my friend, America was in the same situation longer than Afghanistan ,and some parts of the u.s.a are more violent than some parts of Afghanistan 🇦🇫.
The western media will not like this because you’re telling the truth about the taliban people in afghan, if the western world can’t get access to your country they demonized that country, but you are not, may god keep you safe to continue bringing us beautiful videos like these ❤
More and more, I believe that we are told lies about war. I don't think that it's what we see in movies or media. I suspect that there are specific places that it's allowed.
Maryjane you have come so far. The editing on this video is immaculate. I’m so happy you did this. Inspiring us all and showing people what good there is in the world. No more room for ignorance and hate💙
Exactly! “If you're not careful, the newspapers (media) will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” Malcolm X
For such a young lady, you are amazing. I've been subbed for a few years. You could be my granddaughter. I travel along with you, sometimes biting my nails and sometimes living vicariously through you. God has given you a special gift of boldness. It takes that to travel to places others would avoid. You were the 1st one I saw having their hair done in an Asian salon. Keep following your dreams, I'll follow along to, praying for your safety. If you must take someone along, let it be a family member or close friend. A lot of people want to journey with you but it's best you go alone sometimes.
I have watched a lot of videos from tourists but I salute you, miss, for talking so poetic about your experience in our beloved country... thanks and respect.
Maryjane! Whew!!!!!!! I can honestly say this is one of my favorite videos you’ve put out thus far. I’ve been watching your videos for years. I’m so amazed by your growth, your editing, pretty much everything. Keep shining and showing people the world! Super happy for you. 🙏🏽
Maryjane this video was riveting, it touched my spirit on so many levels, the way you edited it even down to the music was perfection. What courage it took for you to go to Afghanistan alone to capture this beautiful experience to share with us. Wow - thank you Maryjane. Looking forward to the next video.
MaryJane! MaryJane!!! Oh my goodness!!! What a wonderful glimpse into this country. The people, the food, the land. Everything is so beautiful. And what a blessing at how kind and sweet they were. I’m so glad you did this. What a lesson I’ve learned. They treated you like family. I’m so excited to your next video. ((( prayers and thanks to you and them)))
"Coming to terms with how much you don't know means coming to terms with how much you can't know from your home, from your couch..... I acknowledge my ignorance and I came to find out what I don't understand." Those are some wise words!
What a Powerful Vlog... The Music... The Storytelling The Scenery at the Lake makes one feel that we have our priorities all wrong!!!! The Editing was on a whole other level👍👍👍
I wish the US and NATO would unfreeze Afghanistans reserves. The regular people are suffering because of banking restrictions. Thank you for shedding light on the truth.
This is my 3rd video so far and I’ve cried watching each one! This journey is breathtaking! 😭 Safe travels always and thank you for documenting this! 💞👑🦋
Hello, Mary, welcome and thank you for visiting my homeland, Afghanistan you look like you are having fun. Take care and please be safe. May God help and protect all Afghans and Afghanistan. And may God bless the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
So basically , the news media are giving us a misleading impression of the country. Please try and visit Iran and North Korea to give us a true perspective. That lake is the most amazing calming and beautiful scenery I ever remember seeing, I cannot imagine how it must feel to be there in person.
This is my favourite video of yours. Thank you for sharing your travel experience with us. I would love to go there some day. Afghanistan is beautiful and you're showing it. God bless the people there and may things change for the better. Oh and love the editing. This video was so relaxing.
I would like to visit your country. I need a translator. Can you help! Nice if they have chinese translator. I seen many Chinese people had a Chinese translator. Truly impressed me. I am from Malaysia. Thank you. Peace to Afghanistan.
@@crystalchan2062 dear Chan I'm not in Afghanistan now i.m presently in Iran I don't know any Chinese translator in Afghanistan right now if I were there I would like to find you on Chinese translator if you want any English interpretare in Afghanistan I definitely can find you on
Ok this was a beautiful experience and it has brought me to tears what America has taught us was so wrong they are God fearing people who only want to protect their own country
So beautiful @16:27. We have to stop being afraid of each other. Love one another. And take care of one another. The people of Afghanistan deserve better.
Maryjane I truly love you and your work. I’ve been here since 2016 and even if the roughest times I stuck around and supported your content. Thank you and thank God for your mind and soul keep it up.
Wow! Blessed and highly favored! You’re doing the Lord’s work. Always praying for you and those you encounter! Thank you for giving us not only a beautiful video but unfiltered insight to Afghanistan💗
Mary Jane, this uttertly just beautiful!!! Your narrative skills are just impeccable and you remind me of the great one Mr. Morgan Freeman... I knew Afghanistan was a special place, but your documentery has literally blown my mind!! After each video ends, I am eagerly searching for the next 🙂...
I've been watching you since highschool (2017 ish) I'm now in college. This is one of your best videos, definitely in my top 3. You're such an inspiration
These Afghanistan videos you’ve posted are one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen a human encounter on a scale like this. This looks like something I’d see on Netflix or something
really enjoying this..she done a fantastic job and hope to see more specially of afghanistan and it’s wonderful people completely misunderstood..heck i would add all the neighboring countries like iran and pakistan also
I love this.. This is the third video of yours I'm watching tonight. It's so interesting and educational. I did cry a little while watching one of your other vids of Afghanistan. I look forward to catching up on your other vlogs😊
Beautiful videography and calm background music. Can't wait to see more of Afghanistan. It's too stressful watching wandering Emma as she films too jumpy and hurriedly.
Thank you for your visit to the hospitable and honorable country of Afghanistan. I hope you enjoyed your trip and took good memories with you. Go again and enjoy the beauty of Afghanistan. :)
I’ve been getting into shows my parents watch yet I’ve ignored other then music and long shorted-waw them folks are some characters lol specially that show wit that dude showing what’s left after the us over here left over there fun fun
All Taliban are like the one's which you have met. They are all warm, humble and soft people. August 15th 2021, when Taliban regained Afghanistan and liberated us was the happiest day or my life. You had to see the heros welcome they got rolling through Afghanistan in August 2021.
Wow this is powerful!!!! I have released my fears and forgiving them of their past in my heart so they can have a fresh slate to re build who they want to be in the future! Life is complex so you should always leave room for forgiveness
@Phoenix Rising many Americans have biased opinions due to educational system! They, just like myself in the UK, believed the taliban were responsible for all terror attacks! They are ‘terrorist’ as the western media would portray! Growing up they used to are documentaries of Afghanistan poverty strike community, full of addicts, mothers taking opium in the presence of small children (that one stuck out) and in all honesty I feel cheated! There was/is so much propaganda towards many of these Asian/middle eastern countries!
@@katwells6278 you were the foreign invader terrorists on our soil, killing, torturing, jailing, raping, stealing, bombing and drone striking. Taliban did nothing wrong, they protected, sacrificed and fought to free us from you foreign invader terrorists.
I'm an American woman traveling the world solo. I'm currently in South America. You inspire me to continue. THANK YOU!
Welcome to the Afghanistan please 😊
N I love what you do
Keep going❤❤❤
What platform do you use to document your travels? Instagram?
If you respect their culture and their religion, they will defend you like a family member. You must visit eastern Afghanistan, especially Nuristan province. It's an amazing video.❤️
Oh yes tourist only go to Kabul and Bamyan and Matar sharif but no one go to Nouristan
I think people can see Switzerland, Europe and America all together in Nouristan in Afghanistan because the Nature of Nouristan is crazy 😍😍👏🏼👏🏼
yes nooristan also and whatever hidden areas you may see

Mary Jane , you should submit this to Cannes ,Sundance, Tribeca etc etc! This was an exquisite short film!👏🏽💫✨
Agree. This is good.
I agree...epic and an awesome way to change the energy. Political Peace is coming upon you and I am aligned with you.
That's a great idea
Agreed
Exactly ❤

I have not been to Afghanistan from 4 years.
Watching you videos making me cry.

@@oceanblue4750 then by all means don't come to the US. Much better in Afghanistan with the Taliban 🙄

They demonize them because they chose Islamic rule and not Democracy which is against the laws of Islam even though some Countries practice it
More and more, I believe that we are told lies about war. I don't think that it's what we see in movies or media. I suspect that there are specific places that it's allowed.
I pray you get an award for your footage. Such a spectacular and beautiful country.
Maryjane you have come so far. The editing on this video is immaculate. I’m so happy you did this. Inspiring us all and showing people what good there is in the world. No more room for ignorance and hate💙
That’s right. We have ppl like her and the camera! No games anymore! Lol
Exactly!

Traveling educates. She is evidence of that. She has developed into such an intelligent and gorgeous young woman!
I'm so proud of you...
This has to be your best video yet! I felt chills watching this. Love to see what it’s really like to visit Afghanistan. Can’t wait for more ❤

The BLUEST water I’ve ever seen, wow! I would love to visit Afghanistan and take a boat ride on that clear blue water.

that makes complete sense sir to my ear
Wow! you’re so brave 👏🏾👏🏾 I pray that God protects you through out your Journey.
