15 unforgettable portraits from the 'Humans of New York' photographer's trip to Pakistan

Continuing last year's tradition, photographer Brandon Stanton, aka "Humans of New York," is taking part of the summer to venture outside of NYC and tell the stories of people from another city, country, and culture.

What he has found and shared on his wildly popular Facebook page is that even when you travel half way across the world, people still share similar hopes, fears, and aspirations.

This August, Stanton has been in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan, a place he tells his Facebook followers, "has some of the most amazing landscapes on the planet."

Stanton has already gathered a handful of moving stories, funny quips, and wonderful portraits. Below are the best images, along with their original captions, that he's published so far while on the road.
