Austria has been my home for more than ten years. It is the country that deepened my love for mountains, hiking and spending time in nature.

With crystal-clear lakes, rivers and the Alps never far away, Austria offers endless opportunities to explore the outdoors, whether you enjoy hiking, cycling, skiing, kayaking or simply soaking in the scenery.

But Austria is much more than its landscapes. It is the birthplace of classical music, home to grand palaces and castles, charming villages and a coffeehouse culture where conversations can last for hours. As someone who grew up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I quickly felt at home in Vienna’s cafés, where coffee is more than a drink—it’s a way of life.

This page brings together the places, stories and experiences I’ve discovered while living here, from well-known landmarks to local favorites that make Austria feel like home.
