Overview
About Me
Writing about myself has always been a challenging exercise, mostly when it comes to describe my personality. Therefore, I think that it will be good to start by listing a few things which I've learned to value in this wonderful existence, these things are; discovering new ways of living, meeting with new peoples and try to learn from them, get involve into subjects that matters for the wellbeing of others, and most importantly, never be afraid of changes and to readapt myself to new philosophies and new environments. I am very open minded, I love to appreciate the simplest aspect of things, I’ve lived in France for my studies but I'm actually from Mauritius. My first language is Mauritian/ French but I can also communicate very well in English. Alongside my sociology studies, I love to draw and to do Aquarelle painting, I’m vegetarian but I’m also very respectful of the choices of others. I sometimes like to get into philosophical or political discussions with peoples with whom I feel ok to do so. I like to do that because I feel the need to get into deeper conversations that will enrich my intellect and how I see things around me. I am also a dance lover, I do lindy hop, Blues, Balboa, and Cuban Salsa. If you want to know more about me, let me know ;)

Music, Movies, and Books
Old french music, Mauritian sega, 70's,80's, 90's British bands, Jazz, Blues, Charleston, traditional Cuban music (timba, son, Afro rumba etc..), and I do listen to some new sounds too, but I'm not a big fan though...
For books and movies, it's more difficult for me to list them, as I am myself more of an article reader and writer than a book lover, even if on some rare occasions I do appreciate a good book, be it historical, social sciences, biography or fiction. Concerning movies, I'm not a big cinephile, I do love a good movie every now and then, but for me to really appreciate a movie, it has to be powerful and be able to take me emotionally through the whole story line.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I don't know what to reply to this one hahahaha. The thing is that I've done a lot of stuffs that I consider "amazing", but I'm not sure though if I should expose my whole life experiences here lol. One day through a book maybe ;)
Teach, Learn, Share
I think that the best thing one can share with someone else is actually who they are.....and maybe a beer or a good wine haha
Otherwise, I come from Mauritius Island and I think that this can be a good ground for chatting/cultural exchange. I also can help you practice your English or French, and most importantly, I can teach you some basic Swing or Salsa footwork and moves ;)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook (I'm pretty good in cooking Indian and Chinese foods).
Dance lesson (I'm not a professional, but if you don't have any dance experiences or if you are a just a beginner, I can help you ameliorate your dancing style or teach you some more stuffs that I know about social dancing.
