Hi, I'm Samantha, 23 years old and originally from the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria. I've been living on my own since I was 18, which has taught me a lot about independence and self-discovery. This summer, I'm planning to travel to several countries in Europe, while on a budget. My goal is to meet new people, make lasting connections and share stories and experiences.

One of my passions is mixing cocktails and bartending. I love the creativity involved in making the perfect drink and would be happy to show you some of my favorite recipes. It's a great way to break the ice and have fun together. As a native German speaker, I can also help you improve your German skills, whether you're a beginner or looking to practice conversation.

Cooking and baking are other hobbies I enjoy. I love trying new recipes and would be happy to learn any local dishes or cooking techniques you can share. It’s always exciting to explore new flavors and culinary traditions.

In my free time, I like to play chess, listen to music, and watch films. I have a diverse taste in music, ranging from pop and jazz to rock and classical, and I enjoy discussing and exchanging our favorite music. I'm also a fan of horror and thriller movies, with "Venom," "The Orphan," "The Conjuring," "The Nun," "Saw," and "The Shining" being some of my favorites. If you’re into films, we can catch a movie together or have a movie night.

I'm really excited about meeting fellow travelers and locals who can offer unique insights and share their stories. Whether it's over a cup of coffee, during a scenic hike, or while exploring a new city, I'm eager to connect and create unforgettable memories together. I’m also interested in learning new languages, particularly French, Spanish or Italian, so if you speak either, I’d love to practice with you.

Traveling is all about connecting with people, sharing experiences, and making lasting memories. If you're passionate about travel, enjoy exploring new ideas and are up for some adventures, then I'd like to meet you. Let’s make the most of our time together, whether we’re exploring hidden gems, trying new foods or simply enjoying good conversation.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I want to meet new people and connect with locals who have insider knowledge of the city and can help me explore the best hidden gems and local favorites. I love the idea of experiencing a place through the eyes of someone who knows it well, from local coffee shops and farmer markets to beautiful parks and hidden gems.

Sharing experiences and making new friends around the world makes me happy. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to build connections with people from different countries. It’s fascinating to hear personal stories, learn about different cultures and sometimes even cook or share a meal together.

Traveling on a budget is also important to me, as it allows me to travel more and see more places. Couchsurfing not only helps me save money on accommodation, but also enriches my travels with authentic, personal experiences that I wouldn't get from staying in a hotel. In addition to exploring new destinations, I like to share my knowledge of the Austrian culture.

Couchsurfing goes perfect with my love for mixing cocktails and taking pictures while traveling. I often exchange cocktail recipes with my hosts or fellow surfers, and I enjoy capturing the atmosphere of each place through photography. Whether it’s a local street market, a cozy bar, or a picturesque sunset, there’s always something inspiring to photograph.

Cooking and baking new recipes are other passions I like to share with my Couchsurfing friends. It's fun to swap recipes, cook together, and learn new techniques. These shared meals often lead to great conversations and memorable experiences.

Interessi

One of my favorite things to do is mix cocktails and take pictures, while traveling to different countries. I love experimenting with new flavors and creating unique drinks, capturing the process and the final product through photography. Traveling provides inspiration for my cocktail creations, as I get to try local ingredients and techniques wherever I go.

I also enjoy trying new recipes, both in cooking and baking. The kitchen is a place, where I can explore different cuisines and cook a variety of dishes. I find joy in the process and like to share my creations with others. In my free time, I like to play online chess.

Music and films are another passion of mine. I love listening to different genres of music, from pop and jazz to rock and classical. Watching films is also one of my hobbies, whether it's at home or in the cinema. I especially enjoy going to the cinema for the unique experience and the opportunity to see the latest releases on the big screen.

I also like to combine my interests by going to concerts and film festivals when I travel. It’s a fantastic way to experience the culture of a place and discover new artists and filmmakers. Whether it's attending a live concert, visiting a cinema.

I'm always looking for new experiences, whether it's through travel, culinary adventures, or simply enjoying a good game of chess or a great film etc.

Musica, film e libri

I love listening to pop music and jazz, but I enjoy all kinds of music, from classical to hip-hop. My favorite film genres are horror and thriller, with "Venom" being my top pick. I'm a big fan of artists like Ed Sheeran and Frank Sinatra for his timeless classics. I also enjoy the music of The Beatles, Queen, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Prince, and Elton John, appreciating a wide range of musicians from different genres.

In addition to "Venom," I love watching movies like "The Orphan," "The Conjuring," "The Nun," "Saw," and "The Shining" for their gripping plots. I'm thrilled about the impressive storytelling and visuals of "Dune" and "Dune 2." I often find myself exploring different genres and discovering new favorites.

Music and movies are a big part of my life, but I also enjoy other activities. I love working at live concerts and music festivals whenever I get the chance to. My different taste in music and film shows my curiosity and openness to new experiences. I'm always on the lookout for recommendations and love discussing my favorite songs and movies with friends and fellow enthusiasts.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I completed a one-month bartending course in Stockholm, where I learned to mix over 65 different cocktails and earned a certificate at the end of the course. The experience was incredibly enriching, as I studied the history of various spirits, learned flair bartending techniques and to pour spirits without a scale. This course not only improved my bartending skills but also gave me a deeper appreciation for the craft and culture of mixology.

In addition to my bartending course, I also hold barista and mixology certificates. The barista training has trained me with the knowledge and skills to create the perfect cup of coffee, from espresso to latte art. I understand the complexities of coffee bean origins, roasting techniques, and brewing methods, allowing me to craft a variety of delicious coffee beverages.

My mixology certificate further adds to my bartending skills. This certification covers advanced cocktail-making techniques, flavor pairing, and the use of fresh, unique ingredients to elevate drink presentation and taste. The mixology training has expanded my creativity and ability to develop new and exciting cocktail recipes.

The course also introduced me to the fascinating stories behind different spirits and cocktails, including the origin and the development. I learned about the different processes involved in creating spirits like whiskey, rum, and vodka, and how these methods impact the final flavor profiles.

Additionally, I practiced flair bartending, which involves performing tricks and stylish maneuvers while making drinks. This skill not only adds an entertaining element to bartending but also improves my coordination and confidence behind the bar.

Throughout the course, I met a diverse group of people from all over the world, each with their unique stories and perspectives. We shared our passion for bartending and the hospitality industry, creating a supportive and fun learning environment. This experience has inspired me to continue exploring the world of bartending and to incorporate these skills into my travels.
