Hi, I am Kathi, a traveller from Austria" in GERMAN (not Austrian!!!) would be:

Hallo, ich bin Kathi und komme aus Österreich!

(it's like Patlex explained, that u wouldnt say 'Reisender)

By the way: Patlex I love ur 'Schweitzer deutsch'!

In my accent it would be ( we have hundreds of different accents in AUT- so u better go and learn German in Germany )

Servas, i bin de Kathi und kumm aus Östarreich

Nice topic,
In my country we talk three languages: Spanish (75%) and Quechua (20%)
and Aymara (5%)

Spanish:
Hola soy Patti, una viajera de Perú.

Quechua:
imaynallam kanki ñuqam kani Patti uk llaqtamanta Peru.

Patti

... namaste mey sanjay hoon {n is silent} india say aaya hoon{n in hoon is silent again}
even in hindi one can rephrase this sentence differently..

Well.. This thread is getting a bit old, but I haven't said my share yet..

so.... In a fine manner I will try to say it in swedish (which shouldn't be so hard because that's where I'm from!! )

- English "Hi, my name is Ebbe, a traveller from Sweden"
- Swedish "Hej, jag heter Ebbe, en resenär från Sverige"

- English "Hi"
- Swedish "Hej" OR "Tjena (more youngster-talk)" OR "Hejsan (more formal )"

some more funny phrases..

- English "I am seventeen years old"
- Swedish "Jag är sjutton år gammal"

"Hi, I am XXX, a traveller from XXX" in your local language
