a glimpse into salzburg.

we got the chance to go to Salzburg for the winter market. the market was super busy but it was so Christmas-y. and it was snowing! what a wonderful winter wonderland.

schladming in the snow.

this town just doesn't stop being beautiful. and the snow just adds to it and makes it more magical.

schladming covered in snow.

this town is truly so beautiful when it's covered in snow. my friend and i like to go on snow adventures. here are some photos from two walks we did.

hallstatt.

i got the lovely opportunity to go to hallstatt again. first time was blue sky and warm weather, this time was overcast, a little rainy and cold. but it is still a lovely little town. we got to spend the day there and wander through the main street there. much more than i got to do the first time. it was a great time to spend with my roommates in a different place than our room back at tauernhof.
