I am a student of History doing my post-graduate degree in London. I was born and brought up in a tribal village in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India. This year will probably be the only chance I get to see places out of India, banking on my meager scholarship. So I want to see as many places I can in Europe, all the fascinating places I have read about during my long childhood of fascination with European history. I hope to visit Portugal, one of the Nordic Countries, Northern Island and Bosnia if I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A fundamental desire to see all the places I have read about in history books and seen photos of in those large glossy beautifully printed encyclopedias of history.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is Viking graffiti in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Alexander Von Humboldt learnt the tribal Guahibo language whose last speaker had died, from a talking parrot. Also why a Roman chariot maker determined the size of the satellites we send up into space today.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of interesting facts, stories and histories of many many places around the world that I have never been to. I'm a half-decent story teller.
