Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone as a lifestory to tell, so i'm pretty open to listen and learn from what you have to tell me.
I am working towards improving my vegan/vegetarian cooking skills , they are still not where i want but maybe CS hosts/guests can help me.
Learning new languages and about new religions , especially Islamism and hinduism.
Learning is a way to not being scared about the unknown and being more respectful of every human being

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really like a good conversation arround dinner time , knowing new people, travelers, dreamers, inspiring people ...
