Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Raise my kids, with ethical values, help them enjoying different cultures and... oh yes, get to see the northern lights above polar circle
ABOUT ME
I'm interested in too many things and people to write it down here... Use to be a sailor, sailed in many places around the world. Not anymore, because I'm now father of 4 kids (triplets aged 5 and a girl 7), single dad with shared custody. I'm now a real estate agent.
I love travelling, get to understand different cultures and people, open minded !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Crossed Atlantic singlehanded once and several times with crew, crossed hurricane once (not willing to try again, sorry), sailed on ice, sand, salt, etc...
See the birth of a whale.
Been in Washington airport while the towers falled down the 9/11 (not willing...ok)
Encountered a way too large (for me)shark while diving, as well as dolphins.
Witnessed people being friendly to each other.
