After telling us about her adventure, she now <strong>explains how this extraordinary experience changed her outlook on life<\/strong> and continues to shape her student journey and future ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">When you applied for <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em>, you had only been studying at I\u00c9SEG for a few months, yet the school supported your decision&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I signed up for <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em> just a few months after joining I\u00c9SEG, at the age of 18. At the same time, <strong>the school constantly encourages us to embrace entrepreneurship, adventure, and international experiences<\/strong>, and to pursue our dreams. All of those values are reflected in <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em>! Everyone around me encouraged me.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PE22_Chine-Ep7-5041-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190204\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of the application process, I had no information about the filming dates, location, or even how long it would last. Initially, I thought filming would take place the following year, but at the end of June I learned that we would be away from late August until early October, and I nearly panicked! I quickly arranged a meeting with my academic advisor, who happened to be a fan of the show. When she found out why I wanted to meet her, she strongly supported me in obtaining the school\u2019s approval to participate\u2014on the condition that I accepted the consequences of my departure and sat my exams upon my return like every other student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, that felt like a problem for later, so I focused entirely on the race and the adventure. What I never expected, however, was that we would win the competition, and that riots in Nepal would extend filming by several days. As a result, <strong>I had to take my first exams less than a week after returning to France!<\/strong> It was a harsh return to reality, and I will never thank my hardworking friends enough for sharing their notes with me and helping me get (almost) up to speed for the exams. In the end, I only had to retake one exam\u2014Spanish. After that, I worked extremely hard to catch up during the following weeks until the end of the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">What was it like returning to school afterward?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When I arrived in October, I was discovering my class for the first time! I hardly knew anyone, and the other students couldn\u2019t understand why I was arriving almost six weeks late. On top of that, I couldn\u2019t tell them anything about the reason! It was quite difficult at first. Fortunately, I quickly rebuilt my circle of friends. There was no judgment, and once M6 started broadcasting the show, everyone understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">Wasn\u2019t it difficult to be welcomed by families living in extreme poverty when you had nothing to offer in return?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PE22_Nepal-Ep4-2661-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190184\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Discovering new cultures, new ways of life, and sharing experiences constantly\u2014that\u2019s what makes<em> P\u00e9kin Express<\/em> so enriching, <\/strong>and it\u2019s exactly why I wanted to take part. We were always warmly welcomed, especially in Nepal. At first, though, it made us feel uncomfortable. We saw families who had almost nothing, yet they prepared delicious meals for us and introduced us to unexpected dishes. They kept serving us more food\u2014it was incredible. Meanwhile, they would simply watch us eat because we were their guests, almost putting us on a pedestal. We nearly had to beg them to join us at the table so that it would truly feel like a shared meal and a shared moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We weren\u2019t allowed to give them anything. I had brought a few handmade friendship bracelets and some bubbles for the children, but that was all. When you realize they don\u2019t need much to be happy, and <strong>compare that with our own consumer habits and constant desire to buy things, it really puts your lifestyle into perspective.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">Even though your father was injured, he managed to finish the adventure with you. How do you physically endure such an experience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you need to be reasonably athletic, but I\u2019ve never been a high-level athlete, nor has my father. Even with a knee injury, we managed to win. It isn\u2019t really a sporting competition. You need stamina and good physical condition, but that\u2019s not enough. Some teams were much stronger and fitter than we were. In the end, you realize that, <strong>just as in business or education, everything comes down to mindset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to learn to listen to yourself, manage your emotions, and cope with the duration. Forty-five days is a very long time, which is why we never focused on the finish line. At first, our dream was simply to participate in P\u00e9kin Express. Then it became reaching Nepal, then China, then Thailand, and finally the final stage. We lived the adventure one step at a time. <strong>We set short-term goals, which were easier to manage mentally and less emotionally exhausting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">If physical strength wasn\u2019t the deciding factor, what made you stand out from the other teams?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PE22_Nepal-Ep1-1753-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190144\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>My father and I stayed very calm throughout the adventure. We aren\u2019t impulsive people. We weren\u2019t shouting all the time like some other teams. In P\u00e9kin Express, you are under constant stress, but when you\u2019re trying to hitchhike and find a car, staying calm is absolutely essential. <strong>Learning to manage stress was one of the greatest lessons from this experience.<\/strong> For me, stress has always been linked to determination, but sometimes panic can take over. Fortunately, my father is older and knows how to step back and gain perspective. That was invaluable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were also a very balanced team, even if television didn\u2019t always show that. The production often portrayed me as the one carrying the team with my energy, but I owe so much to my father. Without him, I never would have made it to the end. Whenever I had difficult moments\u2014and everyone experiences them during such an adventure\u2014my father always found a way to motivate me. <strong>We weren\u2019t stronger than the others. But we had a balance that allowed us to succeed and go far together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">Knowing how to work with your teammate, learning to live together, and managing your relationship with your father \u2013 was it also a key factor in succeeding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! <strong>Learning how to communicate effectively and listen to each other was our greatest strength<\/strong>. Before leaving, we made up a code word: \u201c<em>cracotte<\/em>.\u201d If either of us said it, it meant we had reached our limit and needed to stop immediately, calm down, and listen to each other. In the end, we never even needed to use it. Of course, we occasionally argued, especially when my father lost the map and we wasted two hours by the side of the road. But you quickly realize that getting angry solves nothing except wasting even more time. So I would take a moment, get some fresh air, calm down, and then we would keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">Another source of lost time is decision-making. Did <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em> teach you how to make the right decisions quickly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t always agree on everything, but <strong>once again, communication and listening were crucial<\/strong>. In P\u00e9kin Express, arguments cost time, yet stress makes it difficult to make the right decisions. Fortunately, my father\u2019s ability to remain calm helped enormously. He understood that his 18-year-old daughter was living her dream and was under tremendous pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_8906-1024x735.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190168\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Making decisions is difficult for me. I\u2019m a Libra\u2014I like to weigh the pros and cons carefully. Making quick decisions under stress was a real challenge for both of us. In the final, we were stuck in traffic in Bangkok, looking at each other without knowing what to do. Should we get out of the vehicle or stay?<strong> It sounds trivial, but those moments of indecision can determine whether you win or lose <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">What skills developed at I\u00c9SEG helped you during this adventure?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It wasn\u2019t so much the courses themselves but rather the school\u2019s mindset.<\/strong> The emphasis on international openness, meeting different cultures, and learning how to connect with people from diverse backgrounds was incredibly valuable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em>, <strong>everything comes down to management and negotiation.<\/strong> When you get into a car and tell the driver, \u201cJust five minutes and a few kilometers,\u201d you obviously hope they\u2019ll take you much farther. So you build a connection, engage in conversation, and try to persuade them to help you go further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em>, I learned <strong>the importance of human contact and non-verbal communication<\/strong>. I love talking, but I now understand much better why group presentations are so important. Good posture, appropriate gestures, eye contact, and body language matter tremendously. St\u00e9phane ROTENBERG once explained why some teams were better at hitchhiking than others. One day, after observing them, he realized that everything came down to eye contact. Now I know that in my future professional life, when negotiating with a director, client, or supplier, <strong>posture and eye contact will be just as important as the content of my message.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">What did <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em> teach you about yourself?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83-1024x472.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190132\" width=\"500\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83-1024x472.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83-300x138.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83-768x354.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83-1536x708.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83-150x69.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83-400x184.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/processed-496B14C4-7898-42CC-8734-205EE0F45B83.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>First, I <strong>discovered that I possess far more determination than I ever imagined.<\/strong> My determination was like a flame that stayed with me throughout the adventure. When I truly care about a goal, I am willing to do everything\u2014within the rules\u2014to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also d<strong>iscovered that my greatest opponent is myself.<\/strong> I\u2019m highly competitive with myself. If you asked me to race someone tomorrow, it wouldn\u2019t necessarily motivate me. What drives me is setting ambitious goals. In my future career, I\u2019ll need objectives that genuinely matter to me, in a field and environment that I enjoy, because I know I\u2019m capable of giving my all under those conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">Has <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em> changed the way you see the future?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I still don\u2019t know exactly which sector or profession I want to pursue. I\u2019m not even 20 years old and only in my second year of studies. What I do know, however, is that after <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em>, I want to work for something meaningful. I want to be part of an organization that shares the values I believe in and allows me to stay connected with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">How did <em>P\u00e9kin Express<\/em> change your view of society?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_8320-1024x735.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190140\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The experience made me reflect deeply on the way we live and consume. You don\u2019t come back unchanged after meeting people who live in extreme poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was raised with strong family values and a belief in the importance of human connections. I was never particularly materialistic, and I\u2019m even less so today. Most importantly, I never realized how much happiness can come from the love we give and receive. Before, I used to think: \u201cMoney doesn\u2019t buy happiness, but it certainly helps.\u201d Today, after seeing these families, I understand that love alone can genuinely create happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, <strong><em>P\u00e9kin Express <\/em>made me realize that the only goal truly worth pursuing in life is happiness<\/strong>. I would rather have a lower-paying job that fulfills me than a higher-paying one that doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-ieseg-orange-color has-text-color\">Finally, what advice would you give to a student who is afraid to take the leap?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go for it! Of course it\u2019s difficult, but if we never dare, we\u2019ll never achieve anything in life. For us, the experience exceeded all expectations. But even if we hadn\u2019t won, it would still have been worth it. <strong>Even if we had completed only one stage\u2014or even just the interviews in Paris\u2014it would already have been an incredible adventure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To experience such intense moments of satisfaction and pure happiness, you need to step outside your comfort zone and push yourself. We\u2019re still young, we\u2019re students, and we don\u2019t yet have many responsibilities\u2014no family to support, no established career. <strong>So what\u2019s stopping us from pursuing the
