My name is Harriet, I’m an Au Pair in Vienna. I came to Austria to learn German because I really want to study here. I chose Austria rather than Germany because I’d heard so many good things about the quality of life here, and Au Pairs especially get treated really well here. Also, I love the Alps, my grandparents lived in Switzerland for 15 years while I was growing up and we would visit every summer holiday. I have fallen in love with this country, and Vienna especially. It’s so central in Europe and I’ve been lucky enough to visit Innsbruck, Salzburg, Rome, Bratislava and Valencia since being here. It’s the perfect city for anyone who likes to travel often. It’s also such a beautiful city, the architecture is so different to what we have at home in England. There are also so many beautiful green open spaces. I arrived in Vienna in early October, just as the weather began to get colder, so I’m excited to see what the summer brings!!!
