Join me on my first journey to Kandahar, Taliban heartland. I was nervous about this part of the trip. Known to be ultra conservative, how would it feel for a foreign woman? In this video, discover my first impressions as I try to understand full on checkpoints, and my surprising welcome in the tourist office.

Whether you're planning to visit or just curious about Kandahar, this video offers a glimpse into this fascinating city's daily life and beauty.
