In today's episode, we're back in Afghanistan after a month in Tajikistan, and this time we're not just transiting...we're actually backpacking.
After basing ourselves in the northern city Mazar i Sharif, we take a day trip to Old Balkh, one of the most impressive ancient kingdoms that was said to have rivaled Babylon.
Though we're traveling independently... our visit to some of the country's ancient history was accompanied by members of the Taliban who acted as our guides.
Come along for the ride and see that there's a lot more to this country than the media makes it out to be.
