Over the last four years Marc Edwards has been blazing a trail through South East Asia's television world. Those with a keen interest in China will be familiar with his energetic, colourful and charismatic style on China's International News Channel.
Since 2007 Marc has been presenting their flagship show Travelogue and in that time he has been fortunate enough to travel all over Asia in the name of entertainment. His first project was a 3-part series produced in conjunction with National Geographic's travel publication Trends Travel. He kicked off his presenting career fronting their trip along the fabled Tea and Horse Trail, which is one of the highest and most perilous passages of economic and cultural exchanges in the world.
Marc's international upbringing combined with his ability to speak five languages has enabled him to cover international events such as the Beijing 2008 Olympics and the Shanghai World Expo 2010, often interviewing in French or Chinese.
In 2009 he was selected to front China's very first English language travel show in Taiwan, highlighting the island's myriad of charms in a 5-part award-winning series.
In 2011 Marc appeared as a studio guest and reporter on technology and video games on Tech 24, a digital technology show on French network France 24.
A self-confessed “child of globalisation” Marc was born in Paris to a Welsh father and a Malaysian-Chinese mother. Born bilingual he continued his quest to match his multilingual parents by studying languages in Italy, Mexico and China. After graduating from Durham University, where he hosted his own drive-time radio show on Purple FM, he took the fast track route to a successful television career — as a management consultant in the City! And the rest, as they say, is history…
