Hey there!

My name is Roxana and I love travelling, meeting new people and discovering new cultures. I try to learn the language or at least some common/practical phrases before travelling to a foreign country.

I like questions more than answers... especially the questions that challenge my answers.

I am friendly and fun to be around, I think.
Happily married. I live with my husband and our 11 years old son.

During the week, we're kind of busy and working until late, yet our schedule is flexible enough and if you let us know in advance (at least a few days) that you are coming, we'll make time to host you and be around.

I am dreaming of World Peace and trying to make this world a little better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hmmm... I am new here. I am hoping to meet other travelers and learn more about this world. I have too many questions.

Interests

I love poetry - reading and writing
Different cultures around the world
Night long conversations
Learning new languages - some ordinary phrases at least :)

Music, Movies, and Books

A few of my favorite (influential) books: 1984 (G. Orwell), Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse 5 (K. Vonnegut), A Hundred Years of Solitude (G.G. Marques), The Trial (Kafka), Crime and Punishment (F. Dostoevsky), On Heroes and Tombs (E. Sabato), Blindness (Saramago), The New Life (O. Pamuk).
I also love the works of Hesse, Tolstoy, Sartre, Camus, Borges, Amos Oz, Murakami...

Favorite Movies: Deepa Mehta's Elements Trilogy, In the Mood for Love, Tangerines, Turtles can Fly, The Lives of Others, Thin Red Line, Ghadi, Ikiru, Air Doll, Solaris and Stalker (Tarkovsky), the works of K. Kieslowski

My taste in music is kind of eclectic: I listen to everything from jazz to black metal. I particularly fancy indie&alternative rock bands. When I am traveling I listen to traditional music and try to discover local bands.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
