Hello i am Mathias, i grew up in various places. I studied history in Toulouse in France, and now i do scientific research in Central America historiography. Travelling a litlle!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people, all kind of people, travelling knowing completly a new culture, not being in always touristic places, and that way knowing new places. Also share my experiences and take a lot from the people i meet.

Interests

I studied in a multidisciplinary institute (IPEAT) in France. Basically i am interested in all type of knowledge. Nevertheless, I have preferences in human and social sciences. I love history, that's why i studied it, but i am very interested in anthropology, sociology, philosophy, arts, etc... Also in my studies and research i always cross disciplines so i am open minded to all kind of knowledge. And never close those disciplines because all are interconnected. Also, i am interested in culture communication, counter-culture, undergroung-culture, and anti-culture.
