About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Publishing my book in Chinese

ABOUT ME

Hi everybody

In a couple of words, I quit my job (wine business) in Shanghai in 2010, from where I started a 888-day world tour through many countries.
all info here http://fbm888.com

I wrote a book about it, called "Le Monde en 888 jours, Shanghai - Shanghai", published in France, October 2014.

I like learning foreign languages, especially the non western ones.

I am basically curious of everything and I try to learn from everything that happens. People I meet are part of it !

Today, I'm married and I'm working in Paris in a travel guides publishing company for a few years now.

PHILOSOPHY

Somewhere between the Far East and the Far West...
