While flying on the Red Cross plane: after over one year of a very hectic mission in Afghanistan, it is eventually coming to an end. Encounter on the tarmack with an American soldier. Time to look back and think. Afghanistan will remain a very strong experience in my heart and mind. I witnessed many things change, but unfortunately, not necessarily in the right direction. I am tired and happy to leave, and in the same time very sad for the country and the people. What could I do next?
