Hey everyone,

My name is Roxane, I’m 21 and I’ve been travelling around Europe for 3 years now, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends (Elea, Sam and Mattéo that you can see on the pictures). I grew up in Paris but I didn’t like the city so I decided to go and discover other ways of life. I met great people on the way and found out that I love farm working, eco-building and organic agriculture. For now I want to keep travelling and one day I dream to have my own farm with some friends, big vegetables garden, fruit trees, artistic projects…

Besides that, I’m a huge fan of music : I love jazz, all kinds of rock, cubain music (rumba, salsa…), latino music (cumbia, bossa nova…), carribean music (soca, calypso…), balkanic music (trumpets !!)… I’ve been playing the Steel Drum, a percussion instrument coming from Trinidad and Tobago, for more than ten years in a French band (you can check us on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsqyhRQxCrM). It’s not a very well known instrument so if you’ve never heard about it I would be very happy to tell you more about it when we meet  I also play the piano (not very good though) and I love to sing, so if you like to play music, I’m in !
I like to cook (nothing very fancy), I enjoy making and sharing meals with others so it would be a pleasure to cook for you or with you.

I love to meet utopist people, and to exchange ideas about politics, how to make the world a better place for everyone (big project haha), dreams… I think when you start to meet others and to share opinions you can begin to build new things.

I’m a very flexible person, I could sleep anywhere, adapt my dates, and adopt your way of life for the time we stay together ! I’d love to help you in your house or with your projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great people from all around the world, and to live with local people in the countries I visit : I love to discover a country from the point of view of someone who is actually living there.
To share stories, good time, meals, music or offer my help to the people I meet on my way !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling without money in France and Spain
Hitch-hiking road trip from the South of Croatia to Switzerland alone

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to improve my Spanish (after one or two weeks in Spain it’s okay, but I really have to practice so that I don’t forget it and I get better !) I enjoy to learn new languages in general, so if you can teach me the basics (and the rude words) of yours I’d be very happy.
If you like to talk about your country, its culture, food, history, it would be a pleasure for me to listen.
I can teach you some French, cook a French dish, make you discover new songs…

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope we could share nice time together, talking about travel, adventures or life in general… I would also love to walk around your area with you if you have time, for me it’s the best way to discover a city or a place.
It would be great to share some musical moments eventhough I can’t travel with my steel drum. I can sing a little so we could manage to do something cool, or we could go out and find some nice live music !
