You do not know what you have at home, until you live elsewhere.

Hey to everyone out there reading my blog!

While you were following my posts you might have asked yourself who I am and where my hometown is… even if not, I wondered how I could have forgotten to mention that. If you want to get to know me a bit more, enjoy my last post for this term. Although I love to travel, there’s no place better than home!


My name is Nina, I’m 19 years old and study TKK at the
Department of Translation in Graz.
Why I chose to study TKK? Because I’m into languages (maybe because I grew up bilingual, I don’t know) – ‘til now I know German, English, Polish, little worse French and Russian and some words in Greek and Czech. What I like is to travel (but you know that already)…  Read on and you'll get to know what I spend my time with when I'm at home.
If you want to know anything more about me or tell me something just leave a comment : )


Carinthia is the region of Austria I come from. Since I live in Graz, I started to realize how lovely my hometown Klagenfurt and all around it actually is.

Not far away from my place there’s a little village called “Rosental” and there you have the possibility to walk up a hill  for about 2 hours until you reach the “Klagenfurter Hütte”, where you can have a rest and get typical Austrian food. As I’m not into hiking at all, I waited years before I did this trip myself – and I loved it! The view is amazing and with every step you enjoy the landscape more and more.






Another place I miss a lot is the “Kreuzbergl”, a little hill in the middle of the city. Within few minutes you find yourself in nature and have a spectacular view over the city. No matter if in summer or winter it’s always a good idea to go there and have a nice walk or do your workout, as there is a fitness path.





In summer I spend most of my time at our great lake, the “Wörthersee”. To lay at the lake, reading a book or just jumping into it and swim, it’s the best way you could enjoy summer! It is easy to reach it by bike and for those who like to cycle – you can even surround the lake within some hours only (and then cool down by jumping into the lake).




Whenever I’ve been somewhere else, I didn’t miss home or even think about it because I knew, it is where I live. Now my “home” is Graz, I live here most of the time. And I miss my hometown a lot. But I think that was enough about me and my place… 



Bye for now to everyone, thanks for having read my blog until today, and:

Enjoy your life – it is your personal journey!
