Jay Ghee was born in the Belgian Congo (DRC) and spent his childhood in the Kivu region, near Burundi. He kept a deep fascination for the exotic beauty of the Kivu lake, the very fertile green valleys, the Virunga game reserve and its volcanoes. The Independence war forced his family to move to the South of France. He became a primary school teacher in Belgium then studied law in Bordeaux. He worked a few years in Paris then travelled back to Africa and settled in Johannesburg.
After working in many different fields, he joined an international trading company and travelled intensively to Congo DRC. Then he started his own export business.
From his base in South Africa he crossed most of Africa, including Morocco, Egypt and the Indian Ocean islands.
He sold his business in 2003 and devoted most of his time to his family, to writing and studying Eastern philosophies and the arts of Tai Chi and Chi Gong.
