Abdulhaq Sodais lives in Germany, and has begun a new life with his wife, Weeda, after being granted full political asylum in 2021. He speaksfour languages including: Dari, Pashto, English, and German. He has found work in the school system helping disabled students on the bus, and as a forklift operator, among other odd jobs.

His dream is to travel freely throughout the world, without being harassed or denied at any border. He considers Spencer his most trusted friend and has worked ceaselessly with him to tell this story on behalf of all refugees who are unable to tell their own.
