Wil Raymakers
Holland
You can never get bored with Wil, because he always shares a lot of funny stories! Along with Thijs Wilms, he created the wildly funny Ox Tales comics that show a humorous side of the animal kingdom. Wil's talent allows him to work on many cartoon and animation projects. Did you know that his first comic strip was drawn on a small paper during a class? What's even more unbelievable is that Thijs was his teacher and they teamed up to create Ox Tales! See you soon, Wil!

Stéphane Rousson
France
Stéphane is what we call a crazy flying man, one who can fly with a strange machine. I met him when he was attempting to cross the English Channel between England and France with his muscle-powered balloon. He needs to cycle so that his machine can move. It's a fantastic challenge that took him five years of hard work!
His balloon is wonderful. It's 16 meters long (about 52 feet) with a five-meter diameter (about 17 feet)! Just great! Stéphane uses a propeller that moves when he pedals. The slightest wind may cause a major problem, so I was quite scared to rest on this giant balloon with my sparrow weight!
The next challenge for Stéphane will be in Kenya. Let's wish him the best of luck!
