Vienna

I was born in Graz, Austria’s second biggest city, and moved to Vienna 16 years ago for university. After studying Comparative Literature and Scandinavian Studies, I spent two years in Norway training to become an official tour guide. I’m passionate about a job that combines my love of languages, meeting people and Vienna. I enjoy traveling, working with people, telling stories, history and art. I’m also a dog lover, although sadly I can’t own one as I travel a lot. At weekends I engage in all kinds of outdoor activities including hiking and mountain walks. My favorite bits of the city? The numerous art galleries especially the Museum of Fine Arts and Albertina Museum; and the modern architecture combining old and new elements. My favorite topics? The Hapsburg dynasty, Mozart, Beethoven, Viennese Waltz, Austrian food (wienerschnitzel, Saache torte, apple strudel) and much, much more!
