Story 2: Kaya Olsen – Austria
In Times of Crisis Servus, from my small home office in Vienna! Strange times to be staying abroad, but strange times to be in your home country too, I suppose. The Corona crisis has really flipped my stay here in Austria upside down, but at the same time I'm learning...

Story 3 Riccardo Pio Dal Luogo – Czech Republic
The overall experience has been rather satisfactory. It didn’t lack of its fair share of disagreements, the proverbial bumps in the road or black swans - euphemistically speaking, I would place Brexit and, even more so, the current pandemic under the latter category -...
