I've never been very good at the whole "nesting" portion of a trip. I've always just dropped my bags wherever I was staying and left ASAP to go see and do what deserves to be seen and done. This time my trip is a little different since I have SO MUCH TIME to really adjust and see it all. These first few days of settling in I've really had the opportunity to arrange my things how I want them, buy the things I forgot (clearly not the things from my first post), and slowly ease my way into the environment where I don't know the language well, I don't know the area at all, and I don't know anybody.
This cute flat I'm staying in has really helped me find my nest also. I found Andrea through AirBnB and was reasonably nervous about not really knowing who with and where I was living. It was a good price for the entire 6 weeks and was right downtown, so I went out on a limb and took the opportunity.
I was amazingly surprised to find so much personality in one place. I arrived with nobody home and I felt like I just know who these girls were. Photographs of themselves and past trips all over the walls, mantras of good fortune and love at every corner, longboards, paper lanterns, yoga gear. They seem like my kind of people! The only roommate I met so far is Kathi and what a sweetheart. I'm loving every part of this place so far and I'm sure I'll love and appreciate it even more as time goes. Here are a few pics and next time we'll actually talk about Vienna :P
