About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Passing through Phoenix to shoot a film about MMA fighters. We are two French guys middle thirties looking to meet with you and have a good time Friday Evening. Ring me up !

ABOUT ME

I work as a sound engineer, recording sound for films.
Mostly in Paris, but this takes me all around...

If I were an Indian my name would be : sharp-eyed crazy hairs

I describe me as an epicurian : there are things I can't control so I don't bother me with them, for the rest every problem has a solution

Besides I'm a bon vivant with all means that it has...

I dislike judging and manichean people. You will never hear me saying something is bad or good because that doesn't make sense to me

Firends of mine often say I'm open minded, good listener and do crazy stuff

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think that the positive energy that you can give around yourself will be transmitted. So I try every day to give smiles and help the more I can. I think that's exactly what Couchsurfin is trying to do. So here I am...

My place is not the perfect place to host someone because of Paris' very little spaces... but hey... it is what it is..

I did some in the USA. Did a lot at my friends...
