We only went and bloody did it. With the help of s We only went and bloody did it. With the help of some incredible volunteers, generous sponsors and a crowd of locals who braved the shit weather to join us - the Aussies in Vienna community fundraiser for Bushfire Relief was a great suucess 🙌🏻 Thanks to so many generous donations we raised €3850 for @redcrossau and @wireswildliferescue to ensure support for those who need it most back home. Vienna, danke danke danke 💕 . . . Meeting up with the community IRL was one of the key reasons we wanted to host this event and not gunna lie, I teared up when the operatic version of ‘Still call Australia Home’ rang out, and loved every last lamington I was able to get my hands on. Good folks coming together for a good cause has my heart completely full and a lil bit overwhelmed tbh ❤️ Perfect send off for this weeks flight back to Melbourne!!

So 2019 kicked my ass on the way out the door, whi So 2019 kicked my ass on the way out the door, which has kept me pretty quiet here on social. I was made redundant from the company I helped build for six years, unexpectedly- it shook my confidence, my trust in my abilities and my sense of self. For a while I was raging but then I realised - what better time to reassess my life, my priorities, the impact I want to have in the world, than the end of the year, the end of a decade. What bigger sign from the universe can there be than the upending of everything? So I spent two weeks kinda offline (mostly sick in bed bingeing Vikings and ordering butter chicken from Amazon Prime tbh) and thought about how I want to go deeper in 2020, how I can better serve, rather than chase empty narratives of success pedalled by the startup #hustlehard culture. Inspired by @hownottotravellikeabasicbitch @lolaakinmade @travelingfro and @kirstyleanneuk amongst others, I realised the answer was already there -I want to create my own lane and version of success. I want to serve my community of readers who value the same slow travel ethics I do, serve my local Austrian community of small businesses and destinations who deserve to be highlighted as must visit places in Vienna and now, considering the Aussie bushfire crises, how can I best serve my expat community who are in the awful position of watching our homeland burn from afar? 🐨 💔In 2020 I’m going bigger, doing more to serve where I can deliver the most value - starting with a fundraiser with the ‘Aussies in Vienna’ community, NEXT SUNDAY 19th JAN in Vienna, to bring the local community together in support of bushfire relief, and to have the chance to process the disaster IRL, with others who are struggling. KOMMEN SIE KOMMEN SIE it’s gunna be excelllent and I’ll be raving about it all week 😊 Because in 2020, we can’t play small anymore, our communities need us, every one of us, to do what we can together 💪🏼 . . . 📸 credit to @jetsetlisette taken at #witsriga
Tell me Austria isn’t just a fairytale land and Tell me Austria isn’t just a fairytale land and I’ll drag you to this goddamn castle building in the MIDDLE of the city to prove you wrong 😆 The magic of Christmas markets nestled beside it is, they’re only here for a limited time, so you have to snatch these fairytale moments while you can. Forget the shopping and go grab a glüwein or hot chocolate instead ☕️ Ya mum doesn’t need new socks anyway 😆 My top reccs for markets to squeeze in last minute are: ✅ This beaut at Am hof by the Park Hyatt hotel, you can pretend you’re fancy and rich for a moment as the horse and carriages clip clop by and city lights sparkle ✅ Altes AKH for the quaint sheltered gardens and adorable huts, surrounding maybe the tiniest eisstockscheissen (bowling on ice) lanes in the city ✅ Freyung platz for THE BEST PUNSCH IN VIENNA at the @demmers.teehaus stand. I’m willing to die on this hill because theirs is the perfect blend of fruity, not too sugary, warming with a wine taste but not too sour. Definitely best punsch in town 🎄 There’s only a few days left of open markets so go forth and frolic lovelies!
Festive season in full swing and am already thinki Festive season in full swing and am already thinking about ‘wrapping up’ this year, this decade and some major life chapters (sorry not sorry for the cheese wordplay 😆🙈) Over the last few days I’ve had so many chats with friends and fellow creators about their 2020 plans and the big theme coming out is that we’re all ready - to play bigger, more true to ourselves, to go deeper in our topic, with more substance. Letting the bullshitters, the game players and ones who’ve never risked playing in the arena go, in order to better challenge ourselves and succeed on *our* terms in the New Year 💪🏼 So I’d genuinely love to know from this lil community - what are you wrapping up? What do you want to make space for in 2020?
Small but mighty xmas market alert! Just down the Small but mighty xmas market alert! Just down the cobbled street from Hofburg Palace, the Spanish Riding School has setup a mini markt in the stables this of the Lipizzaner horses 😍🐴 It’s majestic and a little bit different so pop by on your wanders through the sparkling 1st district ✨
