Hi everyone!
My name is Viktor, I'm Croatian living in Austria.
🇭🇷🇦🇹🇪🇺

I'm now enrolled in Master's studies of Conference Interpretation at the University of Vienna.

I also work as translator and interpreter.
My working languages are Serbo-Croatian, German and Russian - but I also speak English, Greek, French and some Polish and Turkish.
🗣️: 🇭🇷🇩🇪🇷🇺🇺🇲🇬🇷🇫🇷🇵🇱🇹🇷

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I adore travelling and I've already visited more than 30 countries.

I would like to meet people from different parts of the world to learn about their country and their culture.
I’m close to finishing my Master’s and I’m also trying to figure out what to do later in life :)

I can host in Vienna (since October 2023 finally in a private apartment - yaaay!) and I am always more than happy to give you a guided tour or to have a drink with you in Split (Croatia) when I’m there!

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently I’ve been listening mostly to Russian-language music, but I also love Greek and Serbian music!

I love Harry Potter - both the movies and the books - and I love all crime novels ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited the oldest settlement in Europe - located in Lin, Albania - I spent five days in an Albanian village with my friend from Vienna and his family - I learnt a lot about Albanian culture and hospitality of the people 🇦🇱

I visited the UN buffer zone and the Akrotiri British military base in Cyprus - I was hanging out with Cypriot locals including priests practising my Greek and struggling with the Cypriot local accent 🇨🇾

During the corona pandemic, I did online lessons of Portuguese and Danish language for fun 🇧🇷🇩🇰

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always interested in language exchange: tell me how to say “cheers” in your language :)
Also, as a history enthusiast, we can talk about history of our cities and countries!
