Listen Later

Meet Polina Sattler, an adventurous event manager from Ukraine, who came to Vienna in 2016. Married with two children, Polina initially couldn't imagine living in Vienna and made a brief stop in Switzerland before settling down in the Austrian capital. In this episode, Polina shares her journey of adapting to life in Vienna, highlighting special encounters and a cultural clash involving “Kartoffelsalat.”

Polina loves summer, exploring Vienna's parks and markets, and the surrounding vineyards. Hear about the time she found herself in line for a glass of wine and ended up meeting a very notable Austrian figure. And as life often goes, you run into people more than once. Want to know who she spotted (again!) – walking a dog at Heldenplatz? Tune in to find out!
Polina also beautifully describes Viennese German as swimming in the sea – a melodious up and down, just float with it like she does. Don't miss this delightful episode full of personal stories and charming insights into life in Vienna!
