Roxi, vivacious company in Oud-Zuid

When the trip has been all airports and meeting rooms and you want an evening with actual momentum in it, Roxi is the booking. She arrives at 23 with an energy that does not need warming up, walks into a busy bar as though she has been invited, and is entirely comfortable at a table where half the guests are strangers and the conversation has to be built from nothing.

She is 168 centimetres, curvy, with long black hair and brown eyes, and a tropical glamour to her styling with a playful sparkle in it. Confident is the first impression, vivacious the second, playful the one that lasts. She has the useful gift of being funny without ever needing somebody else to serve as the material, which is why she works so well in a group.

Boxing is where the energy comes from, three or four sessions a week, and she is quietly pleased when people are surprised by that. Surfing is the holiday version, chased to whichever coast has something worth the flight, and Nancy is the one who shares her weakness for being in water. Podcasts fill the gaps between, which means she arrives with at least one strange fact she is dying to test on somebody.

Oud-Zuid is where she starts from, a straightforward run into the centre and a quick one down to the airport hotels. She is quick in English and quicker in a crowd. Roxi is not the companion for a silent candlelit corner, and she would tell you that herself; she is the one for the night that needs lifting off the ground. Give her a terrace, a full bar and a reason to celebrate something, and the rest of the evening looks after itself.

Momentum is the point. Roxi is the booking for the trip that has been nothing but terminals and meeting rooms, and she needs no warming up before an evening begins.

Start at a busy bar rather than a quiet one. She walks in as though somebody invited her, which helps enormously when half the table are strangers and somebody has to start the conversation from nothing. She is funny without ever needing another person to serve as the material. Dinner should be a group one if you have the option, or a restaurant with some life in the room if you do not. Boxing three or four times a week is where the energy comes from. Put her somewhere with a crowd and something worth marking.
