my Future Plans

PLANS, FLIGHTS AND THAT ODD VISA

Past experiences always generate new prospects. Sometimes it is enough to hear a word someone says to get going, while at other times one year’s planning goes by before things start moving. It has often happened to me that, while researching for a certain trip or reading others’ experience in a particular place, I felt I was already there, sipping that chai or letting myself be taken away by the human flow in the bazaar. Here are some of my current plans.

WAKHAN CORRIDOR

Wednesday, 28 November 2018

This picture has not been taken in the Wakhan, but in Panjshir Valley. However it inspired me and, together with the most captivating travel experience I have ever had, it made me decide that I want, I need to go back to Afghanistan. This time I want to go up the Wakhan Corridor. That piece of land yesterday’s big wigs decided to mark as no-man’s land between their all mighty empires. A stretch of land which, I think, is about people that are far more human and warm than any of the above-mentioned emperors and their faut-pas. As far as the ‘when’ question is concerned, he who went to Afghanistan knows that is irrelevant a matter. And it should stay like that in any society not obsessed with time and not mistaking civilization for concrete and highways.
