The Wndr Kabul mobile app is nearly ready – it’s the first mobile application guide to Kabul. It’s free, so download it at: www.wndrkabul.com or if you are an Android user, download here. There is still lots of content to be uploaded, which will be a continuous process over the coming months. We have a Facebook page and a Twitter account, so let us know what you think.

In my quest for new content, found this remarkable video. Showcases some of the stunning scenery the country has to offer. Planning a trip back there later this year, possibly to Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat.

Anyone interested in magazine design should check out this interview with Richard Turley, Bloomberg Business Week’s Creative Director and the man behind its stunning covers.

Things are moving fast with our Kabul app – release date to be set soon and a trip to Kabul in the next 4 weeks is in the works. This also looks interesting, and a must for anyone interested in bringing tourists to this amazing country.

Just back from an extremely interesting trip to Afghanistan. It is a shame more people do not go – it’s relatively safe and Kabul is a fascinating city. Further north, the Panshir Valley is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I was there to get things moving on a Kabul city guide. Eamonn was on RTE in Dublin explaining why and the segment featured a short clip of me at the Bird Market in Kabul.

I met some interesting people who work in the content/technology field, including David Bailey who has vast experience in broadcasting. He also did a short interview with me at an ISAF base in Kabul.

We are aiming to have phase one of the application out by Christmas, so watch this space….

Heading to Kabul on Monday for five days to start collecting information for a mobile travel guide to the city. This will be first guide of its kind and will feature text, maps, podcasts and videos. Should be a fascinating trip. We hope the launch the application before Christmas and will be making contact with some local residents to ensure the guide is constantly updated and relevant. Particularly looking forward to the Bird Market and a day trip to the Panshir Valley.
