Life is about coping with loneliness, building Connections. Not about Love.

If you are the smarter one, you are the one who have to make the effort.
I use to say that to my friends more and more when they enter in conflict with someone and suffer from it. ???If you are the smarter one, you are the one who have to make the effort???. It is unfair but it is the way it is. Ex: My friend Shelly and he… Read more
About me
French from Reunion island, I decided to start this blog in 2010 to share my experience of event organiser in China.
Back then I was living in Beijing, a huge fan of the tech blogs from Silicon Valley and with my co-organizers we got connected to the local grassroot Tech community. It was such an amazing experience that I decided to record and share it here.
In 2012 I took a leap of faith and worked for a few months on a business idea to connect local grassroots events to sponsors online. I crashed lamentably but fortunately meet wonderful people with Airbnb and took time to travel which inspired me to take the next step. I felt it was time to leave China and Kaiser Kuo expressed similar feeling very powerfully in this podcast.
Between 2012 and 2014 I worked the Silicon Valleybut to be honest I did not love it. Ti much tech, not enough community.
Since 2014 I happily moved back to Europe in the small international artsy and lefty village of Berlin.
This is a blog about being an idealist, about entrepreneurship, start-up life, improv, expatriation and about never stopping to learn and grow.
Life is short, don’t take yourself too seriously but also don’t watch too much Netflix.
Hope you enjoy.
