About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In Hua Hin, Thailand til july, then back to France

ABOUT ME

I've been working in Asia last winter, making videoreports for the Kiteboard Tour Asia, a kitesurfing competition for Asia. It was awesome, met so many new people from more than 30 nationalities, and doing the job I love, making videos, in 4 different countries ( Hong Kong, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand ).
Now I'm going back to France in July for 6 weeks and then going to Turkey to cover their National Kitesurf Tour, and then back to Asia in September.
