About Me

Bonjour :)

My name is Colin, from France (provence).

I love to travel, do photography, do sport and meet interesting people.

I am also teaching French on my free time. I had many students while in Beijing, it was a cool experience.

I am serene, passionate and goal oriented person.

After studying in abroad, and working in China in 2011, I realised after this experience and my traveled around Asia that I liked this region because of it's culture, diversity, and job opportunities.
I came back in Asia, and therefore later worked in Singapore for about 9 months in 2012. I came back to France do take my graduation exam. After obtaining my master degree, I went working in Australia for one year, to save money in order to work in a start-up, in China, again. After 6 months of good experiences as business development manager, I decided to try to create a company with my old boss.
I am now in France, close to Aix-en-Provence.
