Brit In Afghanistan With Taliban Has Planned 'One Way Trip' To World's Most Dangerous Island

A British tourist who has becomeknown for travelling to warzonesand other high-risk locations says he’s been arranging his next potential adventure – claiming he’s planned a trip to the place widely-regarded theworld’s most dangerous island.

Miles Routledge shot to online fame aftergoing to Afghanistan on holiday last summer, just before the Taliban took hold of Kabul, later also documenting his travels in the likes of Ukraine and Pakistan.

现在,他透露,他一直在盯着北哨兵岛(North Sentinel Island),位于印度洋深处,大约是纽约曼哈顿(New York Manhattan)的大小 - 尽管承认这对他来说可能太昂贵了。

Taking to Twitter, Miles proclaimed: "Need ideas for the future. What's the most dangerous daring adventure that I could realistically do on a budget?

“我计划了北哨兵岛,但这会花很多钱,为了摆脱它,我需要变得更大。”

North Sentinel Island is part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and administratively part of India, with strict protective laws in place to ensure people stay away from the island and its inhabitants.

It's estimated that the island could comfortably support between 80 and 150 people, but there could be as few as 15 or as many as 500 people living on it.

The remote location hit headlines back in 2018 when an American missionary called John Allen Chau travelled there with the intention of converting the people who live there to Christianity.

However, after the 27-year-old paid a fisherman to help him get across to the island, it became apparent he was killed by the locals once he'd arrived there.

许多其他用户在评论Routledge的推文时警告说,他告诉他:“是的,去NSI的旅行将是一次单向旅行。请不要。最后一次尝试过的人很快就死了(如果我没记错的话),这是印度政府不列颠哥伦比亚省政府绝对禁止任何人去的。”

Routledge is used to dangerous and exotic holiday locations, having decided to go to Afghanistan last year after it came up as the number one entry for the ‘ten most dangerous countries in the world’, only to then admit he’d ‘bitten off more than he could chew’.

Despite receiving backlash for his actions, the student decided to travel to Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion of the country earlier this year.

More recently, Routledge who is originally from Birmingham, claimed to bestuck in Pakistan after he’d run out of money.

He couldn't have been that stuck, however, as he soonpopped up in Afghanistanwhere he said he was able to apparently break bread with the Taliban.

Tweeting a selfie with the supposed members of the Taliban, he wrote: “TEA WITH THE TALIBAN! I’m in Afghanistan, walked into Taliban residency by accident and after talking they gave me food, tea and even offered for me to stay the night. They are so kind!”

He later admitted he’s been paying for the meetup in more ways than one – beyond scepticism from the online community, Routledge says he’s now suffering from food poisoning.

Taking to Twitter again on 30 April, he wrote: “I think I have food poisoning. I am throwing up a lot, very cold and very weak.”

In a follow-up message, Routledge added: “Oh my it's not stopping,” and: “I’m still throwing up.”
