To sign Austria, form both hands into 'X' handshapes by curling your fingers into a fist and hooking your index fingers. Bring your hands in front of your chest and cross your wrists, with your dominant wrist resting on top of your non-dominant wrist. Your palms should be facing down and slightly inward toward your body.
Sign 'I', 'want', and 'travel', then finish by crossing your wrists with 'X' handshapes to sign 'Austria'.
Sign 'Austria', followed by 'beautiful' and 'country'. Remember to keep your facial expression pleasant and relaxed to match the concept of 'beautiful'.
Point to your friend, sign 'from', and then cross your wrists with 'X' handshapes to indicate 'Austria'.

Generally, you should place your dominant hand (the hand you write with) on top when crossing your wrists. However, if you accidentally place your non-dominant hand on top, the sign will still be easily understood by others.
No, this is the American Sign Language (ASL) sign used to refer to the country. Deaf people in Austria use Austrian Sign Language (ÖGS), which has its own distinct vocabulary and its own native sign for their country.
You will use the 'X' handshape for both hands. To make this shape, curl your middle, ring, and pinky fingers into your palm, place your thumb over them, and hook your index finger as if you are mimicking a hook.
