Many. Here are a few straightforward examples.

I haven't seen him since he moved to London.

Thank you.
I usually hesitate when I have to tell a story happened in the past. I know that most of the tenses must be past tense. Can we say something in the story with present simple tense ?

Yes. This is the first example that came to my mind:

Yesterday I was at the park and I saw a som tam lady. I love som tam, so I bought some right away.
 
I went to the park yesterday because it has been a very hot recently, as you know, and I fancied a walk.
