Bruno Schuyten
Food Guru
 
Hometown: Liege, Belgiumn
Training: master' s degree-equivalent in French Gastronomy, certified chef, managerial degree, certified in aromatherapy, and in the process of life coaching certification.
Talents: cooking (of course), handy with practically anything (with the exception of music to my dismay), learning (fast and broad), avid listener and storyteller.
Time in SZ: 7+ years
Favorite lazy day activity: listening to podcasts or real life stories, reading books or exercising (roller-skating, rock climbing, etc.)
Occupation: Independent Holistic Wellness Educator

Bruno is a happily retired chef, enjoying his newly found passion for learning and sharing his discoveries for healthy living with everyone willing to listen, after having overcome depression, homelessness and multiple drug addictions (alcohol, cigarettes, etc.) caused by the tragic loss of multiple family members and friends while living abroad.
Through all of those challenges, he discovered that life without a feeling of belonging is borderline worthless and has since built an international tribe of humanitarian, uplifting, positive and health- oriented entrepreneurs, and is focused on giving back to the community (be it expat or local) by serving the people wherever his services may be needed. He is a board member of a charity in Uganda, and has also created the first international volunteers team in Shenzhen sponsored by the Yanshan community in the Zhaoshang subdistrict of Nanshan and supports a local charity in Guangdong Province.

Q&A

What made you decide to try the CityPlus tour?
B: A friend of mine was visiting Shenzhen for the first time and he only had one and a half days to enjoy this vivid city! I started panicking and could not decide on what to show him. Even though Shenzhen's public transport is almost flawless, it still takes ages to get from one side of the city to the other. Luckily, a few days before my friend arrived, I came across an article by CityPlus, which made my friend's visit unforge廿able and let us spend a wonderful time together, doing what I call the " Stamp Hunt! "

Bruno's picks

Global Friendship
Guided by three pillars - education, society and culture, and community - Global Friendship builds meaningful connections between foreign and Chinese nationals with various lively meetups.
Global Friendship is one of the organizations I met through the health and wellness fair. Because of our shared passions for social good, I hit it off immediately with the leaders Fabiola, Rochelle and Patrick.
Global Friendship events include documentary screenings, personal and business development workshops, foodie nights, holiday/festival networking events, and charitable and environmental activities and initiatives. I actually had the honor of leading an event with Global Friendship in Shenzhen last year. We screened the documentary "The Mask We Live In " about gender and toxic masculinity.
Founded in 2014, Global Friendship has been working hard to build a meaningful and sustainable community in South China. In 2018, Global Friendship brought this mission to Shenzhen. Shenzhen events are held every month. With every event, Global Friendship makes positive impacts on the Shenzhen and Guangzhou communities. Global Friendship is really for people who are open-minded and curious, and like to learn, develop themselves, give back to their community and take part in diversity.
