About me

After studying cinema for five years in my home town (Lyon), I thought travelling on the other edge of the world could only make me a better person. Landing in China not speaking a word of mandarin was an incredible challenge, was an amount of difficulties that I was eager to face.
I believe tough situations will only make you stronger, hitting the road and working in many different organisations is the key for success. All I desire is to learn, wether it is an other language or another occupation. I don't want to be stuck in my studies and am willing to adapt myself to all kind of tasks.
In that way, my hobbies are hiking and reading. I love many other things, but these two are the fundamental for going forward.

Preferred location

I want to volunteer in HongKong because that is where I am currently,
I have done a kind of similar process in China, in a tea factory in North of Fujian

Skills

I am a 25 years old French traveller, I've been travelling in China, Taiwan and HongKong for the last five months.
Before coming in Asia I studied Cinema for five years, so I have some abilities in filming even if my speciality was producing.
Beside that I made several different jobs such as farming, cashier, photo exhibitions guide.
While travelling in China I learned Mandarin, I can now speak basics of this difficult language.
I can adapt to real different jobs, whether it is purely physical or relational.

Additional info

I am a smoker, don't have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.

Absolutely no allergies or anything else. I smoke regularly but understand how to respect other's desires.
