One day in Salzburg, Austria




Usually I’m a big fan of foreign countries as far away from Germany as possible. But when I spent a day in Salzburg last summer I was hooked. Salzburg is the epitome of an idyllic city. The rugged rocks rising up behind the city form a great contrast to the picturesque historic center with its elegant baroque style buildings. And there are lots of nice things to do and beautiful places to visit. 
So here’s my little list of how to spend one day in Salzburg.

Free stuff to do in and around California

As you might have already read I've spent 3 months in California end of 2012 studying at the University of California Riverside.
I had lots of free time and tried to use every second of it exploring Cali. And I found a few cool things you can do in (or around) Cali that are completely FREE! (wohoo! - who doesn't like that?)

Bull Riding in Western Australia

When I'm feeling stressed (like now with 13 finals smashed into one week) I always think of moments when I was completely relaxed and envy my past self.

Like in 2008 when I had spent 4 months on the Australian East Coast and just left for the West Coast. I wanted to find the real Australia, or at least what I imagined the real Australia to be like. You know, red soil, lots of kangaroos and no tourists, a lonely road seemingly leading nowhere…that kind of stuff. That wasn’t exactly what I found, but what I found instead was pretty much as real as Australia can be.
