Carly, the voice and travel fiend behind Austrian Adaptation, contacted me because she wanted updated portraits of her in Vienna for her blog and for some projects she was working on. I practically squealed when I got her email. She was one of a few of blogs that I dutifully read before I myself left Florida to relocate to Vienna. She is an established blogger in Vienna with a knack for writing stories and posts in such a way that you feel like you're right there with her or you feel like she's given you privileged insider's tips on the latest and greatest brunch spots or how to master German. Seriously. This woman is like the guru of surviving as an expat in Vienna. I pretty much equate her to the wise old tree in the Disney movie Pocahontas....only she's not old....and she's not a tree....but she's full of sage advice. You get where I'm going...
