- Afghanistan, Kabul to Kandahar ...day 1..ive done this road trip before and it took 9 hours! this time it took us 2 days ! We made quite a few stops along the way , some were our choice and some were not our choice ! We just made a restaurant stop when the Taliban came in and made us go to their HQ, we had no choice in this one ! Its hard to explain how that even went , from follwing them accompanied by one in our car and stephan and Abbas in their truck , to entering their “compound “through a bombed out hole in the wall . Very intense at first ! But then it was ok … this road trip took so long and so many moments that i had to split it in two! Wi fi a bit slow down here so bear with me !

Thanks for presenting the real picture of Afghanistan to the world, not like western media.
مruclips.net/video/t9P1uMbAlmA/видео.htmlحبت باید بیریا باشد. از بدی بیزار باشید و به آنچه نیکوست، سخت بچسبید. با محبتِ برادرانه سرسپردۀ هم باشید. در احترام گذاشتن به یکدیگر، از هم پیشی بگیرید. هیچگاه غیرت شما فروکش نکند؛ در روحْ شعلهور باشید و خداوند را خدمت کنید. در امیدْ شادمان، در سختیها شکیبا و در دعا ثابتقدم باشید. در رفع احتیاجات مقدسین سهیم شوید و میهماننواز باشید. برای کسانی که به شما آزار میرسانند، برکت بطلبید؛ برکت بطلبید و لعن نکنید! با کسانی که شادمانند، شادی کنید، و با کسانی که گریانند، بگریید. برای یکدیگر ارزش برابر قائل باشید! مغرور نباشید، بلکه با کسانی که از طبقات محرومند، معاشرت کنید. خود را برتر از دیگران مپندارید. به هیچکس به سزای بدی، بدی نکنید. دقّت کنید که آنچه را در نظر همگان پسندیده است، به جای آورید. اگر امکان دارد، تا آنجا که به شما مربوط میشود، با همه در صلح و صفا زندگی کنید. ای عزیزان، انتقام مگیرید، بلکه آن را به غضب خدا واگذارید. زیرا نوشته شده که «خداوند میگوید: ”انتقام از آن من است؛ من هستم که سزا خواهم داد.“» برعکس، «اگر دشمنت گرسنه است، به او خوراک بده! و اگر تشنه است، به او آب بنوشان! اگر چنین کنی، اخگرهای سوزان بر سرش خواهی انباشت.» مغلوب بدی مشو، بلکه بدی را با نیکویی مغلوب ساز.”

It seemed like you wanted to get arrested at checkpoint while you were behind the wheel because you knew what awaited you... chai & dried fruits 😋 your bravery is commendable & this sets you apart from other youtubers. Can't wait till your next video drop, safe travels 💕
From the perspective of a westerner, I think the triumph of your videos is that they invite us to imagine what it would really be like to go to places we are told are off limits ourselves. Your videos present a unvarnished, honest, and fundamentally human story and are free from judgements, sermonising, or breezy drive-thru attempts to 'explain' a country. You present the remarkable alongside the mundane, the good alongside the bad, and the result is something real and not contrived. This, more powerfully than any travel videos I have seen, generates empathy and a desire for adventure. An inspiration.
from a citizen of another Islam country standpoint we already knew western media is full of BS and the people of Afghan accepted Taliban as their ruler thats why there is peace in that country and Emma and crew is safe under Taliban protection, so long as she have the right permission, paperwork and not doing anything fishy that is
but not everywhere in the world is safe, try ISIS. Sometimes bad is just bad.
Most underrated comment of the month right here! Fantastic synopsis.

@@KnowledgeDriven excellent list, thanks
This was the most awesome video I’ve ever seen as an Afghan I never had this much fun traveling to kabul 😂 you guys are dope ❤
Best Afghan Trip by far online! Thanks for taking us with you!
Emma wow you're so brave!!! 😳 I wish I was in Afghanistan right now. It would have been so much fun traveling with you. I hope you have a safe and wonderful trip to Kandahar...again 😁❤️
Chris driving like that on those roads probably put you in more danger than you would ever get on your whole trip in Afghanistan 🤣 😂
It's totally right I am agree with you, Afghan are hospitable and good people.. we appreciate Emma hard effort with her team.
Again thanks Emma 😊 welcome Afghanistan.
Beautiful people visiting beautiful Afghanistan love u guys from Pakistan
This time onward, the other tourists will not be bothered on this way. Hope you continue visiting other places of Afghanistan too, this road trip was amazing to us.
Nice to see you guys again 😍😍
I want Emma to dive Lol.
Emma looks so cute driving😍😍
Love and respect to you brave Emma for showing to world the reality of my beautiful motherland ❤
Lucky people, you enjoy good weather in lovely Afghanistan. Be healthy and safe.
Hello Emma first I should welcome you to Afghanistan, I really like what you doing, you are encouraging tourists to go to Afghanistan and showing the country to the world. Hope you enjoying visiting Afghanistan. Please make more videos.
💞💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you 😊
Hello Emma- There are a lot of negative comments posted by some Afghans- please note that these comments do not represent the majority views of the Afghan people. Afghans are hospitable people and we welcome you as our guest. Let me tell you who these people are and what their objectives are. Some of the negative comments are posted by Afghans who have a refugee application in process, seeking refugee status in European countries, US, Canada, or Australia. They are afraid that their refugee application might be rejected if show the world that things came back to normal and people can travel freely. There are some Afghans who work for the Iranian intelligence services or Iranian National Guards. Most of these Afghans have fought in Syria against the American and allies’ forces. The Iranian National Guards spends millions of dollars to destabilize Afghanistan for the past 40 years and create divisions among Afghans. The Iranian National Guards trained these Afghans (Mostly Hazaras) to propagate and even carry out terrorist attacks against Hazara minorities. The objectives of these attacks are to recruit Hazaras to an armed conflict. There are some Afghans who leave negative comments and most of these people belong to or support the National Resistance terrorist network. The National Resistance Terrorist Network is made up of former warlords, and drug dealers who were in power in the previous government, and these people have stolen millions of dollars. These people call you names or brand you with all kinds of nonsense because you show the reality on the ground.
Thanks for your input! Yes it’s actually getting pretty bad now with threatening e mails and messages… I’ve never experienced this much hatred before… comes with being on Social Media of course, but a lot of messages have gone a bit too far …. 😌
You are right bro
@Tim Harris thanks, very well explained the truth. Big point I agree, some are in seek of making their refugee cases stronger or planning to refugee, some are just distributing hates for no reason or have some sick reasons. And we have bad neighbors.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
@@WanderingEmma emma which area people you fell so good so kind Kandahar or Kabul or any other district
Emma local drivers are driving so fast with almost no stops so they get to Kandahar way fast but you guys were cruising so it is understandable, be safe and enjoy your journey or experience I guess 😂❤❤👍🏽👍🏽🇦🇫
You are American or European either Australian the whole world is welcome to Afghanistan men and women all we need you to do is for us to smile and enjoy yourself and respect our culture as you tow did it, thanks for visiting our country despite all the difficulties ❤🏳🇦🇫🇨🇵🇺🇲🇩🇪🇬🇧🇮🇷🇪🇭🇦🇪🇧🇷🇬🇷🇰🇼🇳🇿🇾🇪🇸🇾🇨🇦🇧🇻🇦🇩
Much love and respect highness. from Peshawar
I really appreciate you for your amazing trip in Afghanistan ❤
Hi Emma,
In Islam, simple grave is better than those which spent a lot money on them. It does not mean these people were poor. Actually they follow the Islamic rule better.
17:35
Tell me you are afghan without telling me you are afghan 🤷🏻♂️
So kind of them moving all the furniture and prepare the room ready for you guys to sleep 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻
Have a nice trip madam Emma.
Hi Emma, Chris and Stephan. I wish all of you, have a nice trip to Kandahar and enjoy. Most welcome to Afghanistan.
You are very brave and I enjoyed watching your recent adventure, but please stay safe.
You know Emma! I was in Kabul three months ago, while commuting from my workplace I used to see a brave Afghan woman driving alone. Fortunately, I have seen her many times passing through the Taliban checkpoint and the Taliban used to laugh or smile after she crossed. It was funny!
Hi Emma thank you for sharing your amazing journey🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓
. Ghazni is a very isolated province and doesn’t see many foreigners. So it’s not surprising they stopped you. But wow thank you for sharing. Never be afraid. The afghans are extremely kind people and the taliban are notorious for implementing fair treatment and justice
taliban implementing fair treatment and justice???? they are not!!!! it's totally the contrary, those must really are anything but no taliban 🤣
NRF KI JAI HO 🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫
@@tina.singh27 Please, do not get your info from trash media. Be like Emma and visit the place and share your honest experience as I am sure that you have not been there.
You never find people like Afghanistan in world
@@msh870 how are you so sure? I have been there when Afghanistan was genuine Afghanistan, in 1978, before that soviets came. Afghans are the most beautiful, kind and lovely people of the world, they love life, music, colors and freedom... nothing to do with the actual taliban regime that is oppressing the women and starving the population 🙄🇦🇫💖🇦🇫
@@tina.singh27 the taliban are the afghan people and religious caste of the Afghan country side. After 40 years of very violent war and invasion by 2 super powers, the taliban are simply an extreme social and cultural reaction to extreme poverty, war and tragedy.
The Afghan nation has lost its intelligencia and royalty, and to fill the vacuum the shower powers tried to impose their will, but instead the religious caste took over. In time, all this will change again and Afghans will re-stabilize, but it takes several generations after such traumatic wars
I love how you don’t care about any obstacles and you are adventurous !
Afghanistan ist save for everyone. Thanks emma.
Amazing video guys, be safe everyone!
سلام ب شما وبرنامه شما خیلی خوش حالم ازوطن ما دیدار کردین ان شاالله سفرتون خوش گزشته باشه ای کاش بودم وازشما استقبال میکردم
Emma , chris an d yours frind an special thanks for presenting the real situation of afghanistan.
You are all are so brave..goog luck
Your interpreter or driver so professional and learned person
Fun trip 🌷👌I want to drive on these roads. It might be fun. Have fun Emma jan!!
Chris amazing dress haha. Blue shalwar Qameez with red cap.
🤣🤣🤣🙏
You are giving other people courage to also visit Afghanistan. Especially after how that checkpoint went.
are they really safe after the checkpoint?
then why the taliban pick them up later?
@@loucipher7782 well they didn't get kidnapped, I think people just have irrational fears of being kidnapped in Afghanistan, even though it probably almost never happens.
@@loucipher7782because they don’t communicate with each other
Thanks for this very nice video 🙏
I’d love to go to Afghanistan, I guess it would be easier since I’m a man, but also much harder since I’m an American. I wonder how they would react if they saw an American tourist on their own soil. What do you think, Emma? Love your channel!
I’ve met several Americans here actually… tourists also ..I had a couple in a vlog a month ago .. Luke Heather … check out his you tube channel !
If you come without ill-intentions and no weapons to be a sniper, respect our laws, people, government and security forces then like in any country, u will be fine and have a great time in Afghanistan
All I’m gonna say as long as you don’t have army uniform on you well be very warmed welcomed.i believe Afghans are probably the most friendly and polite people you would come across
You are welcome to Afghanistan
I am pretty sure you will enjoy it there. Just make sure to hire a guide/translator and be humble, respect the culture and traditions.
17:00
Emma, I can see you are as honest and respectful to the culture of the Afghans and doing a good job. Although your videos give us a rare glimpse at actual life in Afghanistan, I can’t help it roll my eyes every time you squeeze a negative comment about the Taliban. I say this because I have experience of how it ACTUALLY is terrifying to make even the slightest negative comment about any ruler in the middle east without the possibility of very harsh consequences. And yet no one really says anything because they are approved of by the west and it’s media.
Btw, I neither support nor am against the Taliban. I’m of those who are waiting to see how they do.
If I say anything good about them , im being paid by them apparently, I really haven’t said anything negative about them , just what’s actually happened to me and my own experiences… nothing bad has ever come of me being questioned so many times etc …. They haven’t seen many tourists so they ask questions, many don’t even know tourists are allowed still … it’s complicated
@@WanderingEmma thanks for the quick reply and clarification 👍🏼. Keep posting more videos. I appreciate what you’re doing.
as afghan myself i want them to put islamic laws in here and support them as long as they are not corrupt like the old government
Side note, I don't think a woman would be that safe in America or Western style countries in the middle of the night.
R u damn, whr u live?
Good
Today, I am staying with my relatives in our beautiful town of Kandahar.
Why you guys not going to nuristan one of the Beautiful nutrl city of afghanistan
Eye reely lyke Skottish birdz 👍
Most welcome to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 hope you a beautiful trip have a great time thank you for being nice to everyone that’s so kind of you wish you best time ❤️😘💞
Hello Emma- The majority of potholes on the road are caused by usage (you've surely noticed that the vehicles are loaded to capacity), the previous administration failed to pay attention to timely maintenance, and the contractors who restored the road a few years ago did not use the right materials. Islam discourages graveyard decoration, the use of large headstones, marbles, or cement because it believes that after death, what matters is how you lived your life and your beliefs.
Have nice trip Emma
Wow 🤩 Chazni is nearby Jaghuri which we’re ghazni county but Jaghuri province 🙏👌🫶👏🙏good luck on your journey 👍
Thank you 🙏 Emma so much 🙏🥰🫶🇦🇫✅👏😍👍i’D love it if you can go to gowmurda hitcha Jaghuri and video of my village also my mom 🥰🫶🙏✅☝️🤞🫶👍👏🙏🙏🇦🇫✅

Back in 2008 and 2011 i passed through this road my worst fear was not to be caught and get beheaded by the Taliban. Things have changed a lot.
Most welcome 🤗 to my lovely afghanistan 🇦🇫
Be careful wandering around in the rural areas Emma watch where you step for obvious reasons old remains from the war everywhere still
Hello, I am an Afghan and I cannot go to Afghanistan. I hope you are healthy and have a good time
Ema is a brave woman just like an Afghan woman.
Dont stress aunty we will take care of you and any threat to tourist. Have fun here in afg. Taliban will always keep you guys safe. Allahu Akbar, Zindabad afg

Crazy members.. you really bravery enough my big gun.
👊😎✌️
You are extremely brave to drive around in a dangerous country I was there from 2009-2012 I know Hope nothing bad happens
It’s not the same country which it used to be in those times
تشکر فراوان که از وطنم ویدیو جور میکنی
زنده باد افغانستان🇦🇫
MashAllah Respekt i See Form my first time a english Guy in Afghanistan
Wow So nice video👍👍👍👍👍🌺🇦🇫🌺
Emmy, you never stop talking
if someone isn't like you doesn't mean that you have to disrespect them respect for all human.
Do you know why it’s on the TV in the background? Shabake khands
You generally make the Taliban look like normal people, while 35 million people do not have the right to speak. Whatever the Taliban says, people must obey. You understand what it means to obey by force
Schönes Video, Afghanistan ist ein schönes Land. Weitergehen
interesting fun vlog :)
This used to a 5 hour trip. We have done it a number of times.
Emma I loved you singing in car that European song!
Hahahah 🤦♀️
@@WanderingEmma Are you from Germany or Sweden?
@@ahmedhumayunrasheed2434 neither , lol , I’m from Scotland 🏴
@@WanderingEmma Oh Edinburgh? Wallace?
@@WanderingEmma But your accent is not! I'm from Pakistan! Chris funny guy!
I really missed my Homeland😔
Missed Beautiful Kabul 😢
Did you not travel to Jaghori ?
Nice trip ❤
If you want to come to Iraq tell me my house is open for you. I love you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ have a nice day
A crazy trip is usually fun-filled but with that much recklessness by Chris, it was not ideal. I know it is a nation in healing, with no functioning traffic infrastructure and adequate standards, but please obey the common sense statute and others' safety. I am sure Chris won't and can't drive like that in any part of Canada or the world. We need to show compassion and not inferiority.
Enjoy your trip!
I thought the same as a guest in a new country you should show respect
U travel was amazing 😻 we love 💕 so ii
Emma, why did you decide to go to Afghanistan?
People's tell you Canadian is civilized in the world but afghans is more humble then every one
Hello
How are you?
Are you able to visit Ghazni city?
Great hope you will also go to mezar sherif and other beautiful provinces like Herat and nengrahar and khost
I’ve already made a vlog in Mazar , Herat I still have to edit
You must be so brave going that country I won’t lol
ډیره زړه وره یی بریالی اوسی
Hello Emma, I hope you are well. Please do not take the behavior of some Afghans serious. You know, every country has its good and bad people, but those bad people do not represent all Afghans, especially his shameful behavior, the boy who grabbed your ass, we are really sorry, that boy was criticized on social networks after that He was caught and wanted by the Taliban, and now he regrets it very much.
You should see the eastern part of Afghanistan
Emma and the Group Why trip to see thombs ,and destroyed there.?
Nice journey! Nice people! Where do you guys take shower?! Stay safe Emma!
Think you
Nice vlog funny drivers🤣🤣
you are so brave woman please show the world people that talebaan dont let girls to school and women for out of home for working : plesae dont forget Aghan women and girls be with them you are our sisters and brothers Taleban cant make this country to prove up .
I have already made a vlog on my last trip about the girls /women and education
@@WanderingEmma ok tanx dr i saw them today
Nice video
Just want to hear an honest answer from you. How much do you take from Taliban for showing all these.
It’s absolutely clear for everyone that 3 foreigners in car travelling around Afghanistan and pretending everything is running well.
@z b control yourself. You are near to explode. Oh yeah this is not impossible for you.
I don’t need to discuss with someone who hides his personality. Who has a shame about his ethnicity.
The world knows very well who is exploding himself.
Whey you Drive in my contry?
Emma you are so brave, be safe. I will still say. There is no beauty till there is Taliban. Dont risk your life.
Abbass is my friend !
Does Abbas have social media?
Love your videos Emma
Welcome to Afghanistan
