Schnee, Ski and the Lokalbahn nach Baden!
Hey everyone! Two weekends ago I went skiing in the Austrian Alps, and it was probably one of the prettiest places I had ever seen. We spent the weekend in a town called Kaprun, which is about an hour and a half south of Salzburg. We skied at a place called Kitzsteinhorn, which is one […]
Happy Thanksgiving from Vienna!
Servus meine Freunde! Happy Thanksgiving! Classes are starting to pick up here at IES Vienna as the semester is starting to wrap up – I have 2 weeks of class left and then finals week and then it’s all over! Which makes me think I should probably start working on the 3 10-page papers I […]
Christmas is already here!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in Vienna! But more on that later – I realized today that it’s been almost 2 weeks since my last blog post. I’ve been trying to spend more time in Vienna recently, and I’ve been making day trips rather than staying places overnight. Also, my roommates […]
Hikes, Wachau Valley, and Midterms
I’ve been spending more time in Vienna recently (aka not travelling around quite so much) and I’m REALLY happy about it. I love travelling and seeing new things, but there are so many things in this city that I feel like I hadn’t fully utilized yet and I’ve been trying to explore just a little […]
Adventures in Italy pt. 2 and Getting Assaulted!
The afternoon that I left Venice began the weirdest 36 hours of my time in Europe so far. First, I got to the bus/train station in Venice 45 minutes before my bus left just so I could be absolutely certain that I was in the right spot to catch it. I asked 3 different ticket […]
Prater, Wiener Wiesn Fest, and the Long Night of Museums!
Hallo, world! This weekend was fun. On Friday after class I went to the Prater amusement park with some of my friends! The Prater is a huge park on what used to be the imperial hunting grounds for the Habsburg family, and they turned it into a huge park in the mid-18th century and there’s […]
Oktoberfest, Friends, and Internships
So I messed up and haven’t posted in a while (whoops) but it’s not my fault! I’ve been super busy since classes started and I’m trying to figure out my routine still. Last week wasn’t all that eventful – just a lot of class and snacking on Nutella. I’m developing an addiction and it’s going […]
Upcoming Adventures….
It’s only been 4 days since my last blog post, so really not much has happened, but tomorrow I’m leaving for our 10 day trip to Prague, Krakow, and Budapest, so I thought I’d do a mini-post. On Monday I registered and I got all the classes that I wanted! I’m taking Advanced Topics in […]
Adventuring in Wien
This week was really just as eventful as the last was. Our intensive German classes have really been picking up – we’ve had 2 tests so far, and our final is this coming Friday morning! It can be hard to keep up with at times, but it’s also nice to be able to decipher some […]
Week One: Done!
I survived my first week in Vienna! A lot of stuff happened this week, so I’m sorry this post is kind of long! The adjustment to life here has been a lot easier than I anticipated. I finally got over my jet-lag a few days ago (although I’m still going to bed while my roommates […]
