Welcome! A Little About Me


Hey y’all! Or should I say howdy? Maybe Grüß Gott, the traditional Austrian greeting, is more appropriate. No matter what greeting, I am so happy to welcome you to my blog. I’m Michelle Bizzell, a junior at the University of South Carolina, majoring in International Business and Marketing, with a minor in German. Originally, I hail from the proud Lone Star State. Then, for college, I traded my Texas two-step for the South Carolina shag. Now I’m off to learn the Viennese Waltz. This spring I will be studying abroad in Vienna, Austria at die Wirtschaftsuniversität Wein (The Vienna University of Economics and Business).

To say that I am excited would be a massive understatement. Just preparing for my trip has been an emotional roller coaster, and it keeps going up. I don’t leave for another month, however. So, until then, I will have sweet dreams of visiting Weiner Kaffeehaus (Viennese coffeehouses) and the Schönbrunn Palace

Do places this beautiful really exist?

I’ll check back in soon to let you know how pre-adventure preparations are going.
Auf Wiedersehen!
