    When they asked him where he was from he told them he was from Wales rather than tell them he was British. As he had hoped, the fighters did not know where Wales was and let him go.

    Routledge, who has spent a summer interning at a wealth management firm, said: “I like risk, I’m a banker, so it makes sense. I hate lying around on a beach so I wanted to do something a little bit different. After graduating I’ll have a full-time job and maybe a family so won’t have the opportunity to do things like this again. I thought [Afghanistan] looked quite nice, the food seemed amazing and it was dirt cheap.”

    reads this in posh British accent

    "How It Started...."

    When the Taliban insurgency began he found he was unable to refund his flights so decided to travel anyway.

    "How Its Going..."

    Upon arrival, however, he soon regretted his visit.
