As the Chief Marketing Officer of TourScanner, I'm at the helm of content creation, leading a team dedicated to crafting exceptional travel experiences for our audience. Born in Paris and educated in Hong Kong and the UK, I have over 12 years of experience in the travel industry, including founding eOasia, a Southeast Asian travel marketplace. In 2017, I founded TourScanner in Lisbon. I'm now based in Toulouse, France.

Born in Paris, France, I have a rich travel background that began with my studies in Hong Kong and the UK. My first work experience was in Delhi, India, after which I ventured to Southeast Asia. There, I launched eOasia, a travel marketplace, and spent seven years living across various countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Thailand. Returning to Europe, I founded TourScanner in Lisbon, where I resided for five years. Currently, I'm enjoying life in Toulouse in the charming southwest region of France.

In 2012, I had an unforgettable travel experience when I journeyed to Rishikesh, India. The adventure began with a ten-hour drive from Delhi, culminating in my arrival at sunrise. Crossing the main bridge into Rishikesh was nothing short of magical. The atmosphere was incredible – from the serene beauty of the Ganges River to the friendliness and relaxed nature of the people. This experience, with its unique blend of awe-inspiring scenery and warm cultural encounters, remains a standout moment in my travels.
