The Pamir Highway run right alongside Afghanistan for several hundred kilometres. This is one of the wider sections and it’s still this close. Close enough to see people in the other side. To see the wave. To see them smile. To know they’re people too. To remember that people are nice. But people in power are pricks. Travel. It broadens your horizons. Literally and metaphorically. There is no us and them. We are one people. #overlanding #travel #onepeople #borderless

We’re in Tajikistan. That guy on the motorbike the other side of the river…. Is in Afghanistan! #overlanding #borderzone #pamirhighway

We’re still on the Pamir Highway (it is 1200km long after all!) and while we didn’t drive yesterday (admin and work day for us as I spent all day building a new website for print sales of my photography… more on that when it launches… and doing some admin around the truck - like cleaning the solar panels!) But the day before was stunning. And hard. We spent all day driving right alongside the Afghanistan border. I don’t think we got more than 500m away from it at any point along about 190km. We even waved to Afghanistanis and they waved back across the river! There will be pictures, but nothing from the drone… for obvious reasons!! Also, we’re starting to get a bit more involved in this world and have updated our lightning address to something more meaningful: globaltraces@rizful.com (for anyone that feels the urge to zap!) Using @Rizful.com 👊 #photography #pamirhighway #overlandlife
