I have visited Austria several times. My first visit was in 1998 for a ski trip to Schladming. I came back a year later, this time to Heiligenblut. In the Summer of 1999, after graduating high school, I went on a trip to Budapest and Vienna by bus (!!) with a friend.

We got stuck in Vienna longer than we intended to, well at least longer than my homesick friend intented to ;) and had a great time! Six years later, in April 2005, I visited Vienna again for a week, for the EGU conference. I liked it so much that I returned to Austria in Summer for a week, visiting Bregenz, Innsbruck and Salzburg. >>>
