I know since I'm very young which kind of job I want to do : journalism. After a literary A-Level, I went to study history and geography in the Paris IV Sorbonne, with the aim of improving my cultivation. After three years, I got the bachelor degree but never finished the master degree I started. After trying two times to enter a public journalism high school in Paris, I decided to speed up my career and realize at the same time one of my dream : I moved to China in 2005, when I was 24 years old. Before, I used to work for some websites and magazine as freelance journalist, but I must admit that my trip in China gave me much more opportunities.
I stayed one whole year without coming back France for my first travel in China. Now, I'm still spending most of my time in the country of Laozi, where I teach french in private school, realize some reports for martial arts magazines (Karaté Bushido, Energies, Taekwondo Choc), and write for the website www.chine-informations.com, focused on China. Before, I used to work as chief editor for www.toutelachine.com.
I expect to keep a link with China all my life. I feel this country as my second home after France, and even if I come back to live in France after two or three years, I would like to keep the opportunity to go there at least once a year.
