One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with 15 meter giants of the sea, taking pictures of the russian army on their retreat from Georgia, crossing Papua by foot without any guide and porters, dancing with sharks and dolphins on the west coast of Australia, climbing the Nyiragongo in DRC and sleeping on its slopes watching the biggest lake of lava in the world, hunting roos with a .22 long rifle...but regretted it such a bad thing, been in a pinasse boat that crushed an hippo on the Niger river at night :-(, got to Timbuktu, partying with milicians in eastern DRC dark nightclubs, awoke in the street after a "tsunami rum session" in Madagascar, watch jumping whales, jumping crocs, seen the biggest destruction I have never seen in Port-au-Prince... Reached the Annapurna's Base Camp under the snow and ice in winter time, been chased by a rhino in the jungle while trying to see tigers, felt a freedom breathe in Libya's revolution, finally made it to the Boom Festival in 2012, 2014, 2018: CRAZY, experienced Kappadocia under 1 meter of snow, checked loads of dolphins on the Bosphorus and reached Black sea by boat, got to Leptis Magna, been kicked out of a remote chinese village just because I was french, got a princess & named her Mira, got another princess & named her Iris... Led a water guerilla at Pi Mai in Luang Prabang, went to visit mined areas in the narco indigenous resguardos of Colombia, completed more than 75km trail races (but IT was really painful!) and looking for more jungles/mountains to run, got a full sleve tattoo in Bangkok 30 hours of work in 2 weekends, , went to Tioman snorkelling with hips of turtles, going to OZORA....

Teach, Learn, Share

I cannot teach many things;
I can teach french food cooking (well...), making ghanaian fufu, african issues, websites development, how to dance on electronic music (well...), how to break a guitar, to set up a emergency humanitarian mission, security guidelines for dangerous countries crossing!, demining,...

but I have so much to learn again ... from u !
