I've always thought that communication wouldn't be the field allowing me to live as an expat.
But life is full of surprises and luck, and to contradict my previous vision, I'm actually working in Hong Kong for a French company, as Communication and Public Relations Officer.
After a quite straight journey in my studies in communication (Master in mass media, communication and international negotiation), I was really willingfull of discovering new things.
As I had studied mandarin for two years in parallel to my Master, I wanted to return to China (I studied a little bit in Beijing, and had a trainee period in Shanghai). And found that job in the most amazing city I've ever lived in...
