MEET THE FIRST BUDDY

Hey, I’m Max.

Founder of Offbeat Buddy.
Buddy number one.
A title I may have awarded myself.

I’m French, I live in Kyoto, and my life has taken me through quite a few countries along the way. That’s shaped my curiosity about people: where you’ve been, what you love, what makes you laugh.

I’m into rock (but not only), tattoos, vegetarian food and good conversations. You don’t need to share the whole list. Tell me what you’re into, too.

We can keep it simple with a coffee, or make a whole day of it. There’s room for your interests, your pace, and a conversation neither of us has planned.

I believe in the idea behind Offbeat Buddy enough to put myself right at the heart of it. When you spend time with me, you’re meeting the person who started it and cares about getting it right.

And yes, some clients have become friends. When we decide to hang out again as friends, Offbeat Buddy
gets the day off.No booking, no invoice. I’m just Max.
