Things to do in Vienna for Christmas
After two years of being in places that don’t really celebrate Christmas in style, we teamed up with GowithOh to highlight things to do in Vienna for Christmas. We wanted to really have a chance to be in the Christmas spirit, and with several Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmärkten) we figured this would be a great place to do just that. There are some other things to get you into and keep you in the spirit, too. Weihnachtsmärkten While...

We’ve been living as nomads for close to 1000 days! When you travel long term, it’s obvious there will be some things you miss. Tigger misses having local friends, sometimes a permanent base, and we both miss having a pet. A lot.
