Taking you step by step through a few dishes of your choice the class is sure to leave you satisfied and you’ll have something to impress your friends with next time its your turn to host!

3. Try a local delicacy

Going to a new city and not having the food that you’re used to being readily available can be a little nerve racking especially if you’re a fussy eater. However have no fears you may not like something but at least you tried it. What’s the worst that could happen? Never know you might find something that surprises you.

4. Enjoy the hostel life

Hostels are known to be some of the friendliest places when you’re a traveller. Everyone staying there is just trying to have a few new experiences and meet some nice people to do it with. If you’re not big on the whole dorm bed situation opt for a private room so you can still enjoy all the social benefits.
