A Brit who travels to straight into dangerous war zones is trapped in Pakistan after his money ran out.
Student Miles Routledge decided where to go after Googling the most dangerous places to visit while at university.
He would then choose the top entry given and travel there despite all advice to the contrary.
The result was Afghanistan and he travelled there last summer.
The 22-year-old, who is studying Physics at Loughborough University is now in Peshawar, Pakistan near the Afghanistan border.
He had planned to "rescue" a tour guide who helped him on his first visit, but his plans have been scuppered after he ran out of money.
On Monday he reported he was crossing Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, but security forces in the country blocked his idea to cycle through "ISIS territory".
His Twitter feed said: "I don't think you guys understand but I can't afford any more travel."
In another entry on the micro-blogging site he claimed he had invested more than 400 hours and £15,000 to save his tour guide, who 'was wanted by the Taliban' for doing work for the US in Afghanistan.
"Now that he's backed out at the last possible minute he's ruined me, I'm insanely pessimistic right now.
"Even if I died on this trip, at least I would have died helping someone. I feel empty," Miles said in an entry on the social networking platform.
He also posted a series of tweets where he seemed downcast about his trip which he said had been ruined. These have since been deleted.
The student was dismayed and said he was "screwed" because the guide he was due to leave the country with him got cold feet.
He insisted he would still go to Kabul to "produce content" by "doing some charity work and maybe taking a Taliban selfie."
Last Thursday, before his flight out, he told all his friends "think I'm going to die."
"Said goodbye to my closest friends before I fly out tomorrow. My last words to each was a slur-filled insult," he wrote on Twitter.
He added: "All my friends believe I'm going to die."
The student admitted going to Kazakhstan during violent protests in January was "a lil goofy, be a little silly perhaps".
Now he has rebranded himself a serious "adventurer" and an "independent war journalist".
The Mirror told last month how the Taliban have sent Afghan girls home from school in tears after reversing their decision to allow them back into the classroom.
Officials announced on Wednesday that the classroom ban on secondary school age girls would remain, saying a ruling is still to be made on the uniforms they must wear.
The inconsolable girls wearing their school uniform left their school grounds sobbing after being turned away and told to go straight home.
A teacher at a girls’ school in Kabul, was quoted by Aljazeera saying: “I see my students crying and reluctant to leave classes. It is very painful to see your students crying.”
