Hello From Austria - Classical Music, HikingAt 9:30 am I went to visit Klaudia, one of my best friends from high school, at her parent's house. Our other school mate Doris was already there and it was great to see both of them again, more than 23 years after we graduated from high school. After the... Hello From Austria: A Hike Through The Raabklamm And A Visit To Graz (II)I continued my drive into the centre of Graz and parked my vehicle in the underground garage next to the Graz Opera - at more than 20 Euros not exactly an inexpensive way to see the city, but affordable parking is difficult to find in downtown Graz. My first stop... Hello From Austria - An Excursion To Slovenia And Italy - Monte LussariAfter yesterday's exciting outing to Graz we were planning an even bigger outing today: an excursion to the so-called "Drei-Länderecke", an area where Austria, Italy and Slovenia come together. So we left early in the morning to drive from my home province of Styria along the A2 Highway to the... Hello From Austria: A Country Drive And How Determination And Willpower Can Move Mountains (I)Finally, after the rather rainy day yesterday I opened my curtains to an absolutely gorgeous day today.

Hello From Austria: A Hike Through The Raabklamm And A Visit To Graz (I)Inspired from my cave adventure yesterday, I met my friends Andrea and Herbert early this morning to go on a hike through the Raabklamm (Raab River Gorge), which is surrounded by limestone mountains that hold more than 700 caves, including the famous Katerloch and the Grasshöhle, two publicly accessible caves... Hello From Austria - Hiking Through The Vineyards Of Southwestern StyriaOn a beautiful warm summer day and after a nice filling breakfast we got going early yesterday to embark on our Sunday excursion to the south-western part of Styria. I wasn't particularly well-rested after a full day yesterday that included a hike, a local driving tour and a birthday party,... Hello From Austria: Arrival And First Impressions (I)Many of you will know that I am originally from Austria, but that I have been living in Toronto for more than 20 years. I left Austria early on, by myself, at the young age of 20 and found a permanent home in Canada's largest, most multicultural city. I always... Hello From Austria - Going Back To My Roots (Part II)My brother and sister-in-law had taken the next day off and we were planning an excursion further afield: our destination was a mountain peak called Mangart in Slovenia, located about a three-hour drive from my home town. The beauty of Central Europe is its diversity of landscapes and its small... Hello From Austria - Going Back To My Roots (Part I)The story of the immigrant - the recurring tale of people with two identities, their lingering attachment to their birth country and their love for their new homes...
