“Two years ago I left on a trip, I disconnected, came back and COVID-19 invaded Europe.

This year I left on a trip, I disconnected, came back and Putin invaded Ukraine.

Next time I’m not coming back!”

Me

It’s incredible how things change from one moment to the other. Even though some things had been announced.

I came back from my vacation in St Martin and the world had changed once again.

I expected it to be different because restrictions had been lifted in Switzerland, but I didn’t expect to find a war!

A war so close to us!

The first time I heard of a war going on I was a kid. It was in the 90s and the war was taking place in the Balkans. Quite close if you think that I grew up in Apulia (Italy) and the closes coast to the Albanian coast is only 71km.

At the time, I didn’t really understand where the Balkans were. I didn’t really know what a war is.

Growing up and visiting some of these countries I saw what the war left.

Today I see how that war changed the world’s configuration.

My question is: “Why now? Why not before? Why not later?”.
