American lunch

Some people just drop their world, lives and family and decide to travel the world for a while…working whatever, sleeping wherever, meeting a lot of new people and discover places and cultures of this world…i just admire them for the guts they have to just leave it all and change their lives for a month, a term or years !!

Today, I had lunch with an American guy that came to Tunisia with his motorcycle…we’ve talked a bit on the phone before meeting and exchanged an e-mail…I couldn’t offer him a couch but time and lunch…

It was really nice…just like on a blind date, when you don’t know the person you’re gonna meet, you’ve just set a date place and hour…we’ve met in front of the cathedral on Habib Bourguiba’s avenue…ate something on the café nearby…then I made him follow my car on his motorbike to bring him to Les berges du Lac…It’s actually where I had planned to have lunch with him but didn’t know how to guide him on the phone to come there…he barely know Tunis…and so do I…

It’s really interesting and impressive to talk with those kind of person, see what guides them…their purpose…he didn’t want to work for his government and decided to come visit the arab countries he studied all about…

I should see him again soon…maybe tomorrow…before we both fly in different directions…
