Yes to all of that. You only need to put your posts in a sequence, and there is your book :-)
We have both been to Afghanistan in different decades, though. You experienced freedom while I travel in armored cars.
But just like with you, it had a significant impact on my life. And I am dying to go back one day on a bike :-)
Now, if you came on a motorbike trip with me one day, that would blow the roof off of everything. I already have three bookings for next year in November ... and plenty of time.
I better get my book done and everything I have in mind before that. Sometimes, I am so excited I don’t know what to do first :-).
Here’s to inspiring each other!
