About Me

CURRENT MISSION

[So sorry everybody, i'm busy and don't have time to respond every request. No couch available right now.]

ABOUT ME

I live in Paris and worked the last 4 years as a Flash Director (animation and programming) in a small studio http://www.upian.com (most of my work available here http://www.innipukinn.net). I now work as freelance multimedia director.

As we spent 4 months on Rapa Nui in 2009, Delphine and I made this web-documentary on Easter Island called... wait for it... Rapa Nui: http://www.rapa-nui.tv/ .

I love music, been playing drums for 15 years in a lot of bands, mostly rock, but i do love all kinds of music. You can listen to my band here (watch out, it is strong rock'n core!): http://music.platane.org

I'm also keen on anything related to graphism and motion-graphics, arts, exhibitions, litterature, cinema and gigs, of course.

I'm quite a complicated guy (got to recognize that), but very sociable and helpful. I'm very curious and i love to learn, discover, talk and share.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is full of choices.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell all my friends about the site to help build the community.

Been hosting a few people in Paris, as often as i could. Then been travelling around the world mostly thanx to CS. Now that I'm back, gonna start hosting again !

Can show you some nice places to have a drink in Paris, maybe even go to a party or two. I work mostly during the week and am available on the week-end.

Received some very nice people in Paris. Great experiences. Surfed a few couches and met beautiful people.
