CURRENT MISSION

Visiting the most of China and improving my putonghua. Trying to spread zero waste concept here too, at least to participate in reducing garbages on this planet.

ABOUT ME

Hi ! It's me Nathalie, it's so nice to meet you here!

A little bit about myself: I was born in Paris, France. I've lived and studied there until the age of 19, when I moved to Albi, small town near Toulouse, South West of France, to study in Mines Albi engineering school.
After a French-Chinese program in Energy Management (called ALEF program) in Beijing, and Wenzhou for internship, I have worked in a global energy company in Beijing for 7 years, and now I have moved to Shanghai to work in Green Buildings :-) ! Trying to live the zero-waste lifestyle here !

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do to others what you wouldn't like them to do to you.
You only have one life, make the most of it !
