Vassi Koutsaftis, a legendary guide who has been leading GeoEx tours for 29 years, was recently named one of the best guides in the world by Outside magazine. The publication chose him as Best Cultural Guide in its 2014 Travel Awards, announced in the April issue. To celebrate, we asked Vassi to tell us about one of his favorite cultural destinations, the Wakhan corridor in Afghanistan. Vassi is also a talented photographer and the above image is one of his own. 

Afghanistan

I love the Wakhan corridor! What a place with wonderful villages, colorful, warm people and a wild scenery that wakes up your sense of adventure and makes you feel like a true explorer.
