    It’s good to see Torbjørn returning home. I remember his AMA on Reddit back in like 2013 and followed him since. I still would pop in his website and check where he was at.

    He used to pop in on Reddit around that time, but he had some issue with them at some point. And they didn’t let him do more AMAs anymore. Not sure what happened.

    He got totally fucked by COVID, because he was in Hong Kong when it hit and was there for two years. He could’ve flown home and given up, but by that time he was 7 years into it. I remember him also having a lot of trouble crossing land borders in Central Africa because of corrupt border guards and arbitrary visa issues.

    Last I checked he was in Maldives! Good to read that he made it back safe. He always seem like a nice, wholesome guy. I always wondered how’d he adapt to being back home.
