It feels like I always start these slots of posts the same way: “It’s been a while since I last wrote”. The last entries I wrote was about Croatia last summer, which honestly was so fun and I loved it. Since that time, I’ve been a busy bee, working hard, and eventually April 30th came…

It’s About Time
Well this blog has been empty, hasn’t it?! Crazy to think that my Austria adventures were 2 years ago! My life has taken many twists and turns since then, but I thought updating on travel is a constant I should keep! I’ve done some re-branding for this website, and will use it to update on…
one week later
Well everybody, I’m sure you’ve been watching your calendar closely and have seen that it has been one week since I arrived back home to Canada!! I haven’t posted anything about coming home and that sort of thing, and so I thought now would be a good time to do so! I left Vienna at…
time to close
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…
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…
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…
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…
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!…
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…
what are the chances?
WELL this blog has been quiet!! I haven’t posted for 2 weeks! That is crazy to me, because I feel like I’ve been doing stuff, but none of that stuff is showing up. And then I remembered: it’s because I’ve been too lazy to write it down. And I have to do that now. Dang…
a new perspective
Wells, this is my second week of lectures, which is crazy to me. And I will say that things are set up VERY differently here than at home. For starters, lectures only happened once a week. And they can last anywhere from 1-4 hours. Some lectures don’t even happen every week! Take my Austrian Culture…
lest we be divided.
Well hello. It’s me again. Side note: its pronounced “Sh-tire”. (Steyr) The past couple days we (all the exchange students) have been in class – Professional Performance in a Globalised World. It sounds pretty dry, but we didn’t actually do much “learning” – it was all group work. Yesterday morning we started by doing a…
well that’s how you make a name for yourself.
I will now for the rest of the semester be known as “the girl who doesn’t drink”. but we’ll get to that later. The last couple days have been orientation/introduction. Which is actually a nice change. Our routine for the past several days has been: get up, go to the grocery store, walk back home,…
a slice of humble pie
Hi friends. Tired of my updates yet? 🙂 OF COURSE NOT BECAUSE I’M GREAT. Anywaysss…… today was a good day. is* a good day. We started out around 10 today when Chloe’s buddy Jenny came by the flat to pick us up. We went downtown to an electronics store so Chloe could pick up…
Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed
DAY ONE UPDATE: SORE ALL OVER Hello friends. welcome to my bedroom. almost literally. Today is my first official day living in Steyr. And it was a busy one. My lovely buddy Andrea met me this morning at 10, and we went on a Steyr walking tour adventure together. She showed me how to get…
half way around the world
WELL HELLO THERE WORLD! I AM IN AUSTRIA! BET YOU DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING. But yeah, this is my first post after being officially on my exchange! feels weird and kind of surreal that I’m actually here!! but before i get to all that stuff, I’m sure everyone wants a detailed description of…
