Hello hello!

So I've been living in Vienna for almost two years and I actually find it very hard to make friends in Vienna, even as a 20-year-old party-lover! I have two really good friends - one of whom is moving away in May. I would obviously prefer to have a couple of good friends than a million fake friends, but I'd still like to make more friends. My friend who is staying in Vienna isn't much of a party-person these days, but we also love to do things like visit museums, concerts, sitting in Volksgarten, cooking, etc.

About me: I'm from Scotland, I'm 20 (as mentioned above) and Vienna is, by far, my favourite city. I've travelled a fair amount. I left school (and Scotland) when I was 17 to move to Mallorca with my mum and her fiancee. About a month later, I travelled to Massachusetts for three months, then all around Austria, the Netherlands, and back to Mallorca which led me to applying and finding a job in Vienna.
I'm definitely a 'people-person'. I'm always game to meet new people, for sure. I've been horse-riding since I was 8 so if there are any horsey people out there...

Feel free to post below so I can mingle with other expats.
Thanks yo!

Hi Natalie I suppose my wife and I will be going through the same feelings and process when we eventually come over too. I have a lot of contacts on a busy motorcycle forum which keep me connected and we meet up as friends, my wife and I also do a lot of 'modern jive' in the uk and our social circle is massive from it. We will be doing similar when we get to Austria as I find its the best way of building 'good' friends and also it becomes a lifestyle. Eric

Hi Eric!

Thanks for the reply.
So you and your wife will be moving to Austria? When's that?
Sounds good!
I hope everything runs smoothly with y'all!

Hey! My name is Becca and I am from Scotland as well!
I will be moving to Austria in August and am kinda worried about making new friends, as I won't know anyone there! I quite like partying too, but not sure how to make friends who share the same interests. Would you have any tips?

Hi Natalie!

I'm 23 and I'm from Vienna, Austria. We can meet up and go for a drink or a club if you want - I am not that girl who likes to go out every weekend but I'm sure we will have a lot of fun together!

Let me know if you are interested.
