Cycling from Iraq to Sweden

This is a tale of a long road home, and the struggles, victories and lessons within. The places and the people encountered on the way anchor a narrative of inner travel, character transformation and the cardinal questions in life.

Bilbo: Can you promise that I will come back?

Gandalf: No. And if you do, you will not be the same.
