well, despite what I may want, all good things must come to an end. Tuesday was my last official day left in Steyr. What a crazy time it has been. And yes, its horribly cliche, but I felt I needed some closer. And so tuesday afternoon, Ii did this: Me, Niamh, and Hazel locked a…

ciao bella
Hello hello, one and all. It has been some time since I’ve updated you all! When I last posted I was prepping for my finals. And they eventually came, as any test does// They went well! My german test was very manageable, and my ACC was maybe a little rough, but very doable. My IBB…
for a canadian, i’m not doing so well.
So the past few days have been EXTREMELY hot in Steyr. Yesterday was above 30 degrees, and the day before was about 30 degrees. It’s been brutal to sleep in our flat because its so hot outside. I myself was awake around 5:30 sweating my face off. Not aa pleasant picture. So today we decided…
team 1 comes in number 1
Heyo peeps. Today was a fun evening. I have a mandatory class that I have to take as part of my exchange, and in that class me and the other incomings were divided up into groups based on geographical/cultural similarities. No surprise that the Canadian students and the American students were paired together. There…
pleasant picnic
Well, after our Munich travel fiasco, I was really looking for a safe and reliable mode of transportation. And boy did I find one! 🙂 The Steyrtal-Museumsbahn. Yes dad, I did it. And on Sunday too!!! The Steyr Museum Train runs from Steyr to Grünburg, about 17 km alongside the Steyr river. It is…
Meine Mutter wird diesen Beitrag nicht mögen.
This post should have been up yesterday. But it wasn’t. And I have a very good reason. Wait until you hear what I did yesterday! I did nothing. I know, right?? And that’s not a lie, or some over-exaggeration. I slept until 16:15. Now you’re probably exasperated. Time for…
this post is alive with the sound of music
And here it is! The long awaited post about Salzburg. I too was worried it might never come! Nearly all the other incomings have been to Salzburg already – most went over Easter break months ago. And so as time went on I became increasingly nervous that I would have to do Salzburg alone. And…
School Activities
This post should have been written DAYS AGO. But I wasn’t sure if it was worth a post, and frankly I just didn’t feel like writing about it. But I sat down to write about my trip to Salzburg (which will also be up today) and decided that since I’m here, I can take some…
I’m still a student
Hey everyone. Sorry my blog has been so quiet lately – I still am a students, although it may not seem like it sometimes haha. And the past couple weeks I have had to stay Steyr-bound to finish school projects, study, etc. There is less than a month of class, remember! But it hasn’t been…
nie vergessen
Never Forget. It was a struggle to get myself out of bed on  Sunday morning. I really didn’t want to see anyone or talk to anyone. However, I knew I had a commitment and I would regret not going. So I dragged myself down the hill to FH where I got on a bus with…
mountains mountains mountains
Sorry this post is very post-dated. It took me a while to get around to this post. After the chaos of International Week, I felt a detox was in order. And what better place to unwind than in the Alps? Off we go to Hallstatt! Hallstatt is definitely one of the most photographed places in…
representation
WELL. I’M EXHAUSTED. This past Monday was a holiday, so we didn’t have class, and then tuesday and wednesday we had International Week at FH! As part of getting credit for IW, we had to attend a certain amount of lectures given by visiting professors from all over the world! Lots of the lectures focused…
I wouldn’t Passau the opportunity
My title game is still going strong. #getonmylevel Weeelllll our original plans to go to Munich this weekend did not pan out. BUT we were not about to waste time. So we still went to Germany! We went to Passau, which is essentially still Austria. Even when I bought my ticket at the trainstation,…
its been tour-ific!
So titles are not my strong suit. I get it! This week I have been to 2 different tours in Steyr. The first was in “The Tunnel Of Rememberance”. You may vaguely remember this being mentioned – it is a museum about WWII in Steyr, located inside the old Air Raid shelter tunnels under Schloß…
busy birthday in budapest
this is a full post. hopefully it doesn’t take me more than 3 hours to complete – but it’ll depend on how good my internet connection is. So we’ll have to see! On thursday me and a group of 11 other FH students left for Vienna at 8:15, where we caught a bus to Budapest!…
conGraz on a great trip!
We stayed in Austria this time! This weekend was a National Holiday in Austria to celebrate the beginning of May. On friday in Steyr was the raising of the May Pole! This is a big festive event – in Stadtplatz they hung flags and banners, they decorated the bridges with small Christmas Trees, and there…

Well well well, what have we gotten ourselves into?! If you follow me on Instagram, you will already be well aware that I was in Prague this past weekend – because I posted about 5 times, almost in a row. Apologies for that, by the way! On Friday, me and Ireland got on a 6:15am…
we didn’t even get ice cream?!
In the midst of many weekend trips planned for the future, sometimes its nice just to relax and spend the day wandering. There are plenty of small towns close to Steyr that offer a day worth of interest at the very least. And so, in an attempt to utilize the time available to me in…
sunday morning ponderings
The next month or so is going to be very busy for me as far as traveling. My weekends are essentially booked up until June. And that makes me feel very excited, but almost preemptively tired. And so sometimes I feel like I should relax and hang-out while I can, because I’m going to be…
i’m just czech-ing in.
This post is for my dad. Another travel weekend was had this past weekend as we readied to go to Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic. We were planning on leaving Sunday morning really early to catch a train to Krumlov. It takes about 4 hours to get there, so we decided to take the 6:15 train…
