ABOUT ME
I was born in the South of France, migrated to Australia after living in England, Spain, Germany and Paris. I worked for Radio Australia in Melbourne for a few years broadcasting in French. My holidays were spent on a motorcycle exploring deserts and interviewing amazing people I would meet in the outback.
Later I moved to Queensland for the sunshine; when the first international tourists landed in Cairns, there was a need for tour guides speaking European languages, a good opportunity for me to get involved in tourism. For more than 20 years I escorted tourists to the Great Barrier Reef , Rainforest, Islands, Sydney, Kangaroo Island, the Red Center and the Top End as well as assisting some local tour operators with their marketing.
Tourism slowed down and my interests shifted in a new direction, my love of films took me to a media school in Melbourne to learn about film making from A to Z, my love for puppets took me to France to the International Puppet Festival of Charleville Mezieres
PHILOSOPHY
To be on the move until I can no longer move.....Discover,learn,create, exchange with others, appreciate the beauties of the world
