Afghanistan was said to be the crown jewel in Asian tourism back in the 1960's. Incredible culture, food, people and diversity made it a must-do stop on the famous hippie trail.
Since the 1980s Afghanistan is struggled with war, first with the Russians and then with Western powers.
Is now the time that travel resumes? This week we are talking with Joe Sheffer, a journalist who fell in love with Afghanistan while stationed there reporting, and has now started a tour operator, Safarat.
Joe's goal is to change the perception of Afghanistan by bringing people to the country and enabling them to interact with regular Afghani's.
