A new home Although I was sure to convey an air of confidence when talking with others about our plans to relocate to Vienna, so I could undertake a double Masters, the truth is I was a little uncomfortable about the proposition. My wife and I were fortunate to have good jobs, our two beautiful…

Counting down day after day, going to Austria all seemed like a dream to me. The idea of going to a complete foreign country for 6 months seemed quite daunting and didn’t really hit me until we actually arrived in Dornbirn— which involved a tiring 22 hour plane ride to Zurich, and another 2 hour…

My name is Renith and it has now officially been a week since I arrived in Vienna after my month long travel around Europe.

Guten Tag! I have just spent my first full day at Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (aka WU- which is a lot easier to pronounce!). It’s only been a day, so here’s what I think of it all so far!

The past 2 months for me have been an absolute whirlwind, I’ve made so many new mates and have so many beds to crash in all around the world if I ever need it. I arrived in London on July 5 and have not stopped since then. In my travels I have been teargassed in…

It’s been roughly 2 and a half months since I arrived in Dornbirn, Austria and after months of deciding where I should go on exchange, I honestly couldn’t be happier with where I’ve chosen. Time had flown by so fast, and I never thought I’d be this comfortable in a small town which is quite…
