Manuel BrinkschulteI was born in 1974 to a mother from Cologne and a father, whose family left China during the Cultural Revolution in 1965, but then won a scholarship from the Goethe Stiftung, which brought him to Cologne. Islands have always fascinated me from early childhood. Since emigrating to China in 2006, I have travelled extensively in Asia and fallen in love with islands. After contacting Vladi Private Islands (VPI) several years ago, I finally got the chance to fulfill my lifelong dream of collaborating with VPI in February 2011. I am building a distribution network for VPI in the Greater China region, and have direct access to the private island market. I look forward to covering the lastest island news in China and the region. |
