📍 Living part of the year on the north coast of the Dominican Republic (Cabarete), part of the year in France (the Alps and and the Basque Country). Before that, I traveled and worked as a journalist in Mexico, Haiti, Cuba, Benin, Iceland, and Switzerland. Between late August and early November 2025, I travelled 11,000 km on my motorcycle, riding from the French Alps all the way down the coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco in search of the most beautiful surf spots. You can follow the whole adventure on Polarsteps: https://www.polarsteps.com/SebastienRoux1993/20661234-wheels-waves-wandering Curious and open-minded person, feel free to send me a message in English, Spanish or French. ℹ️ You can also visit my website (sebastien-roux.com) or my Instagram (@sven_rx) to have a brief look of what I have done until now.
