Totally new here but super excited to try it for my backpacking trip through Italy!

In my opinion the best way to learn about a culture is to meet locals and make new friends there!

I'm 18years old and attending a photography school in Vienna.
Did an exchange year in the U.S. Which was the greatest experience in my life and has create a huge desire to learn about other cultures and making friends all around the globe!!
I work part time at a catering to finance my hobbies and making travel adventures possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making new friends from other countries

My Philosophy: the best way to get to know a country is meeting locals and just hang out with them.

I don't like all the touristy places so much
-definitely prefer the local spots where the locals are

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born on the kitchen floor, guess I was in a hurry

Teach, Learn, Share

What I want to learn:

How to cook foreign meals

Travel with no money (I've seen people done that here on CS)

Habits from different countries as well as boardgames

Things that I can teach you:

German, English, little bit of French

How to solve a rubrics cube

How to pack t shirts military style (pretty space saving)

Pretty much everything I'm able to do

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some gooood austrian meals since I like cooking
And a beer

Which is a damn good combination right?
