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.
