Okay, real talk: who else here has attempted a gourmet meal in a hostel kitchen and ended up bonding with strangers over burnt pasta? 
Let’s hear those kitchen disaster stories!

Once I tried making a TikTok recipe in a hostel in Lisbon. Ended up with a dish so spicy it was like a group exorcism 
. But hey, at least I made friends!

Pro tip: always pack your own spices in mini containers. Saved my butt in Bangkok when all I could find was plain rice

Lol, I just make sure to master the art of the ‘hostel omelette’. Egg + whatever’s left in the communal fridge. Gourmet? Maybe not. Effective? YUP!

So am I the only one who uses hostel kitchens as a way to flex internationally inspired snacks? 
Ppl went wild for my fusion nachos in Kyoto!

Anyone ever make instant noodles a social event? We started a noodle night in Berlin and it ended with a 12-person karaoke session. Best. Night. Ever.

Absolutely no one:
Me at 2 AM in a hostel: ‘Let’s see if I can make this frozen pizza a culinary masterpiece… with a hairdryer.’

Real talk: How do you all deal with the judgment of cooking in a crowded kitchen? 
I swear I was just trying to make toast…

I made friends just by sharing my secret hot sauce. Instant connections through spicy experiences:fire:
. Anyone else use food as a convo starter?

Sustainability hack: hostels often waste so much food. I organize ‘leftover potlucks’ wherever I go. Reduces waste and ups the fun!

Not exactly cooking, but I gave coffee-making lessons in Prague using just a sock and a kettle. True art.

Anyone else use cooking for therapy while traveling? There’s something meditative about chopping veggies at 10 PM in a foreign city.

I once baked brownies in a hostel oven in New Zealand. Ended up selling slices for $2 each and funded my bungee jump the next day. #HostelHustle

Biggest challenge: finding avocados ripe enough for guac in Europe. For real, it’s hit or miss every time!

Heard a rumor about a hostel that offers cooking classes with local chefs… Anyone know where this mystical place is? Sounds like a dream!
