okay, where do i start?! i'm not really sure what my intention was in starting a blog (its not something i ever considered doing before i moved to a different country) but it seems kinda fun, like a diary that other people can read! (hopefully some friends back home will enjoy keeping updated with what i'm up to), and so i'm gonna give this blogging a go and see where it takes me.... and hopefully some people will follow me along the way!
its been exactly 31 days since my boyfriend and i embarked on this adventure together and moved from england to vienna without knowing another person in the city. it was a sudden move as it was only 6 weeks from my boyfriend being offered (and accepting) a new job here and us boarding the plane. i can't quite believe its been one month already (although being back in england at my old job seems like a lifetime away now).
to be honest, i feel a little in limbo at the moment. i'm jobless, have no friends in the city (other than my lovely boyfriend obviously), and i can't speak deutsch. i've no idea what i'm going to do job wise, but i've taken the first step by enrolling in an intensive 4 week course to learn basic german (which i start on monday - eek!). i'm feeling quite daunted by this but also excited to start learning the language (which i know is really important) and also i hope to meet other people in a similar situation to me? we'll wait and see....
i'm also excited to explore and discover this beautiful city! its all one big adventure.....
I just found your blog through An American Girl, and read this post and thought: Oh, this is me 8 months ago! So just a quick hello to let you know there are others in this city going through similar experiences. I hope you guys are settling in OK. Feel free to contact me if you need any help on anything. I know being new and knowing nobody can be tough.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

Just like Dorte I found your blog through An American Girl :) And very glad about this, cause reading your blog feels like talking to an old friend, so warm, open and sincere it is.
ReplyDeleteI live in Helsinki and just trying to make up my mind whether to move to Vienna or not, got a job offer and need to make the Decision :)
So trying to get as much information from the internet about living in Vienna as possible. And your blog helps in the process :) So please write more, promise to become a regular here.
