Join me on an epic solo road trip from Sweden to Afghanistan, a journey that spans months and takes me through multiple countries, cultures, and landscapes. In this episode, I finally cross the border into Afghanistan, fulfilling a dream that has been years in the making.

From the bustling streets of Tashkent, where I had my car serviced, to the ancient city of Samarkand and the Uzbek-Afghan border town of Termez, each stop has been a chapter in this incredible story. Despite facing obstacles at the border and the challenge of navigating bureaucratic hurdles, the moment has arrived to step into Afghanistan.

Along the way, I experience breathtaking views, meet fascinating people, and encounter unexpected challenges, including a tense interaction at a Taliban checkpoint. Tune in to witness the culmination of this adventurous road trip and discover the real Afghanistan beyond the headlines. This is a journey of a lifetime that you don’t want to miss.
