I pressed pause on a seven year long finance career to move abroad for a year and complete my postgrad. It was a bucket list item to live overseas and learn another language, so when I was offered the chance to live in beautiful Vienna and study in an area close to my heart, the…

My first month of living in Innsbruck, Austria has now passed and I can only say it has made me even more excited to embrace the “Innsbrucker student lifestyle” once uni begins in a few days. Having a considerable gap between the end of my UTS semester and start of MCI semester, I thought I’d…

For the last two weeks I have been backpacking through Austria. And it has been amazing! The major cultural differences between Austrians and Australians include the ability to consume alcohol and Weiner schnitzel simultaneously, and a love of all things Mozart.
