all depends on the visas (contacted an agency now to speed up things..) - assuming I will be getting the iranian visa I personally would like to go to Afghanistan instead of doing the standard route through central asia, but don't know yet.
Be carefull not to be kidnapped and beheaded by the Taliban, arrested by the NATO or randomly blown to pieces or shot
But there are plenty of places in Afganistan where you can cycle safely at the moment. I don't know if they issue tourist visa at the moment because of the war.
I would think twice before going to Afganistan at the moment to be honest. You could join us and cycle through the Pamirs to get the same feeling of remoteness but the people and their culture is different though, that's true. But they have landmines, too
Cycle the world,
