Régine Debatty

I'm Belgian, but work in Italy and dream of moving again. Probably to Berlin. New York would be great too. Or maybe London.

I studied Classics in Belgium and England which means that I was supposed to become a teacher of Latin and ancient Greek. Work was scarce, so I also turned to prestigious jobs such as go-go dancer, barmaid, secretary (the worst you could imagine) and "promo girl" (distributing balloons in malls, smiling during hours at car shows and waving huge inflatable lollipops in football pitches before the match, etc.)

Then I moved to media, working as a TV presenter on the Belgian national TV, weather forecaster then reporter in Spain, director of TV documentaries and got involved in conferences and festivals aimed at "defending the European cinema against the invasion of US blockbusters".

I'm currently working as a new media consultant for a multimedia and virtual reality park in Turin and hope that one day I'll make a living from my passion for blogging.
