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.

Enseigner, apprendre, partager
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.
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
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.
