Lord Miles in Afghanistan

On August 15th, 2021, the nation of Afghanistan passed from West back to East. On that day, the victorious Taliban insurgency retook the city of Kabul after twenty years of American occupation. The NATO-backed government had collapsed within days. Tens of thousands of people fled to the city to seek refuge and evacuation. And there in Kabul was a hitherto unknown British university student enjoying his holiday, suddenly caught up in history.

A Remarkable Tale of Adventure and Survival

Lord Miles Routledge was the last person issued a tourist visa by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Miles began chronicling his travels in one of the most dangerous countries in the world on the online message board 4chan, where he found himself with a riveted global audience.

When the Taliban reached Kabul, headlines around the world picked up his story, and people watched to see if he would make it back home. Fortunately, he did, and through the process discovered his calling as a true modern adventurer. Over the following year, he traveled to other tumultuous locations, including:

• The Kazakhstan protests
• The frontlines of the Ukraine conflict
• South Sudan
• And eventually back to Afghanistan for desert target practice with his new friends in the Taliban
