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…

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…
this post is Lactose free!
I have never been good at puns. They are a source of humor that vastly escapes me. However, I have a couple that I will save for the end of this post. If you follow me on Instagram (@ekpattz_) then you will have already read them, and so I apologize for forcing you to read…
it’s all greek to me!
Well ladies and gentlemen, here is the anticipated post about my Easter Break Vacation. I use the word “vacation” lightly, because I didn’t do much relaxing – I did a lot of moving around haha. I left Vienna on a plane to Belgrade, Serbia at 9:30am on monday. With a 2 hour layover in Belgrade,…
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…
3 tickets later…
Howdy y’all. How’s it shaking? Last week I had lectures on monday/tuesday/thursday, so I stayed home later in the week as apposed to last week where I was done on wednesday. And I have definitely been bitten by the travel bug because I was itching to go somewhere for the weekend! But I was a…
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…
Well, Wels was swell.
I’ve been waiting days to be able to type that title. Hi friends! It’s been about a week since I’ve last blogged, and what a week it has been! As a side note for people who have subscribed to my blog, you’ll notice that I will post 2 or more posts in a row, and…
a history lesson you didn’t ask for.
Hey friends. Today was our city tour of Steyr. And there were some good facts that I want to write down and remember. And since this is my journal, I’m going to write them down here. If you don’t want to read that, you don’t have to. Skip this post, and we’ll see you next…

Getting a Workout

An Expensive 10 Minutes
Well, here I am in my “killing time” phase. Hey, wassup. I’m just killing time. One of the biggest parts of this trip is I have to apply for a Student Visa from Austria. I need it to be allowed to study at the university. The process involves collecting lots of paperwork and filling out…
Packages, Boxes and Bags
Welp. The semester is over. The time has nearly arrived. BUT NOT QUITE YET. I STILL HAVE SOME TIME! My school semester has ended, meaning that I must now move on. The past couple days, my father and several of my **wonderful** siblings have helped move me out of my apartment. Lots of lifting…
