About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be Happy

ABOUT ME

I felt in love with chinese people & I am living in China for 11 years now and 2 lives already - The first one in the messy, rock'n'roll and unknown Wuhan. I really like Wuhan for its messy atmosphere. Of course, I sometimes needed to escape for a visit around Asia. And now, in Guangzhou where I am feeling happy even if the city is huge.
I am happy in my work which is a source of inspiration, exchange, new knowledge & gratification

La chine depuis 11 ans déjà - comme si c'était hier et déjà 2 vies ici. La première à Wuhan, ma ville en Chine. Une ville peu touristique et qui pourtant a beaucoup à offrir, où il y a beaucoup à voir, découvrir, parcourir, goûter. Et maintenant, je suis une habitante expérimentée de Guangzhou.

PHILOSOPHY

Modest voluptuousness of Epicure, "The Will To Power" and the "Amor Fati" of Nietzsche - Be happy & share that feeling with the others
