I didn't end up staying massively long, but I enjoyed the experience overall. I'm definitely an advocate for getting out of your comfort zone and seeing somewhere interesting as a result smile
After jumping from page 1 to the end, was the Ex waiting for you when you got back?

That's a whole other story that involves someone new who turned out to be the worst thing that ever happened to me...

Did the support thing a few years ago for the army, working for a civilian contractor in bosnia... that was an experience... out your comfort zone as they say and get on with life. came back a different person for it.

Was stuck in a rut here, trying to achieve something and wasnt making the progress, bosnia well it gave me a lot and i did eventually get to where I had wanted to be, but it wasnt what i thought it would be... women eh... lol

good that you did it... and it changes you, usually for the better

I was working in Afghanistan for 18 months around that time which is why I asked. Mainly Kabul and Balkh province.
