Hi! I'm Carly, an Aussie who's been living in Vienna since 2012. I'm a coffee snob and brunch fiend figuring out the practical side of slow travel & living in Austria.
Here's where I share stories & tips about life in Vienna, loving an Austrian and the mishaps and advice I've discovered in 10 years of travel & misadventures.
This blog's for other folks who want to make the most of their time in Austria and never waste brunch in a bad cafe. Coming with us?

Instagram post 2155780554002447433_175319621 Of all the seasons, I think Fall suits Vienna best 💕 . . . I used this view as my excuse to go for brunch at the lovely @cafelemarchevienna. The place is tiny but mighty, they only have a brunch menu on weekends, but during the week you can get a strong coffee and avo on toast 😋 Oh and peep the leaves changing at Sigmund Freud park across the street of course 🍁
Instagram post 2155051824334368290_175319621 Lapping up those Tirolian mountain lake views. Berglsteiner See is a ridiculous picture perfect place in Fall, just looking at this view conjures up fresh mountain air, worn in comfy hiking boots, cuddly warm jackets and a sense of quiet, peaceful restoration. After all these years thinking I’m a hipster brunch and city girl, maybe my soul just loves the outdoors after all? Are you a city kid or outdoorsy type?
Instagram post 2154413950287067576_175319621 The colours in Schönbrunn Palace get my heart fluttering everytime 💕 I’ve been thinking a lot about Autumn, and seasons in our lives - whether we know when to let a season go and if we truly allow ourselves the autumn period of change, with grace and no pressure to immediately succeed again. In April I made a massive shift away from a life of #hustlehard and chasing success on paper, to tune into what my vision of a good life is. Something more soulful, quieter victories perhaps, but time with loved ones, mornings to rise clear eyed not panicked in stress, and space to discover the work I truly want to do on a daily basis. Trying to find the mix of people I’m best placed to help. After a summer of flitting about, I’m trying to give myself permission to change slowly, to rust gracefully like the autumn trees, to dig into what work, what kind of days light me up. It’s not an answer, but giving myself space for a personal ‘autumn’ is a start. Have you ever battled with this before or am I just getting a little *too* into the Fall feels? 😆 🍂
Instagram post 2152164459706296573_175319621 If you think I’m gunna stop with these fall feels I’m sorry to disappoint but LOOK AT IT 😍 My favourite thing about these lakes in Tyrol is that each one comes with its own mythical legend, which generally includes a love story, a curse, a death and no happy ending 😆🙈This here is Hechtsee - the witches lake, where you guessed it, a malevolent water sprite is said to haunt the lake 👻 Hechta’s full tragic love story is in the blog article (link in bio) but tbh if you had to spend an eternity cursed, this isn’t a bad spot, eh?
Instagram post 2151425853576699528_175319621 October is Austria is the perfect time of year for stomping around lakes, mountain trails and hiking paths to soak up the crisp air, gilded light and colourful forests as they shift away from summer green. This week on the blog I’m sharing the 6 picture perfect lakes in Tirol that we luuurrve visiting this time of year (link in bio). These shots are from #1- Berglesteiner See, and these are just the views from the hike up! I’m a converted hiker, it doesn’t come naturally to a city girl like me, but when the colours shine and there’s coffee and cake at the end I can be convinced 😆 Would you go hiking here? . . . 📸 @heleneinbetween 😘
Instagram post 2149573494805911031_175319621 Slow weekends offline, fresh crisp October air on woodland walks and the gentle glow in patches of sunlight when you pause to breathe. It might sound woo-woo or cliche but the further away I get from #hustlinghard, travelling a mile a minute and being switched on 24/7, the deeper the satisfaction and joy of simple things becomes. So yes, this might be woo-woo wellness and oxygen overload speaking - or it might just be the cracking open of a whole new way to savour and approach a slower, sweeter way of living and working. Who’s here for it?
