About me
A good number of years criss-crossing the planet and numerous titles published for a publishing house that gave me a foot in the door and a taste for this exciting and very special exercise, me the travel enthusiast.
To blacken a few notebooks, there was no shortage of exceptional experiences: a soccer match at the Bernabeu during a Madrid guide, an unforgettable Maldives/Sri Lanka combination, a Broadway musical in New York after going to salute the Rocky statue in Philadelphia, a voodoo ceremony in Benin... I even snowboarded in Lapland and dived with Seychelles sharks in less than 15 days... Unique!
Career path
- The beginning of the Petit Futé adventure After a literary baccalaureate and a degree in history, I obtained a master's degree in Information and Communication at the Institut Français de Presse (IFP) in 2008... while writing my first guides for Petit Futé
- Professional evolution towards the world of sport At the same time, I began an adventure that lasted a dozen years at Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui en France to indulge another passion: sports journalism. It's a different kind of journalism, where you need to be able to react quickly and synthesize information, in addition to your writing skills.
- From print journalism to web journalism and SEO Juggling between stadiums and airports, I've also seen these professions evolve, moving more and more from paper to the web. This led me to add the basics of web and SEO writing to journalistic writing.
